Choosing the right surface for your toy crane machine is crucial for its performance, stability, and longevity. The ideal surface is flat, stable, and level to ensure the machine operates smoothly and safely. A hard, even surface like a solid wood floor, low-pile carpet, or a sturdy table is recommended. Avoid uneven or soft surfaces such as thick rugs or slanted floors, as they can cause the machine to wobble, tip over, or malfunction. Proper placement not only enhances gameplay but also prevents damage to the machine and ensures safety for users, especially children. Always check that the surface can support the machine's weight and remains steady during use.
