Need help?Do you have a question about the Fisher-Price Bubble Mower and is the answer not in the manual?
The Fisher-Price Bubble Mower, model number 72022, is a toy designed to provide children with a fun and engaging outdoor play experience, mimicking the action of mowing a lawn while producing bubbles. This toy is intended for children and requires adult assembly, though no tools are needed for the process.
The primary function of the Bubble Mower is to generate a continuous stream of bubbles as a child pushes it across a surface. It simulates the appearance and basic operation of a real lawnmower, encouraging imaginative play and physical activity. The toy is designed to be pushed, and the act of pushing drives the bubble-making mechanism. Bubbles begin to flow after the mower has been pushed approximately 15-20 walking steps and continue as long as the mower is in motion. This provides a rewarding visual effect that motivates children to keep playing. The design incorporates a handle that can be positioned for play and then adjusted for storage.
The Bubble Mower is straightforward to assemble and use. The assembly process involves attaching the handle to the main mower body. First, the mower should be placed on an elevated, flat surface. The handle, featuring the Fisher-Price logo, should be positioned with the logo facing up. With the handle angled down, the holes on each side of the handle slide onto the pegs located near the rear wheels of the mower. Once the handle is attached, it can be lifted into an upright position until it snaps into place. It's crucial to ensure that the tabs at the ends of the handle fit securely into the slots near the rear wheels when raised; if they don't, the handle has not been assembled correctly and should be reattached.
For bubble production, commercial bubble solution is poured into the mower's spout. A dipstick is provided, which serves a dual purpose: it allows users to check the bubble solution level and can also be used to blow bubbles manually. The manufacturer recommends using the Bubble Mower outdoors on a flat surface or in short grass for the best experience.
Important safety guidelines are provided for parents. Children should not use the Bubble Mower near an adult operating a real lawnmower and should play in a separate area. It is emphasized that only bubble solution should be used in the toy, and children must understand that the solution is not for drinking and should be kept away from their eyes. When filling or cleaning the mower, care should be taken to avoid spilling bubble solution on the floor, as it can create slippery conditions. Additionally, bubble solution should not be spilled on detergent-sensitive surfaces.
If the mower does not produce bubbles, several troubleshooting steps can be taken:
Maintaining the Bubble Mower involves simple cleaning and storage procedures to ensure its longevity and proper function. Regular cleaning of the bubble chamber is essential, especially if the mower stops producing bubbles effectively.
To clean the mower:
For storage, especially for long periods, the handle can be easily removed. To do this, lower the handle, then pull the ends of the handle outward to detach it from the mower. Before storing, it is recommended to rinse the Bubble Mower thoroughly with clean water to prevent residue buildup and maintain its condition.
The design prioritizes ease of use and maintenance, making it a practical toy for outdoor play. The ability to disassemble the handle also makes the toy more compact for storage.
