Designed primarily for children aged 3–12, with parents able to accompany smaller children in shared carriages.

Before opening each day, operators must visually inspect all carriages and locomotive components for cracks, loose parts, or wear.

Seats, handrails, and restraints must be checked to ensure they are firmly attached.

All wheels, tires, or track surfaces need to be examined for alignment issues or excessive wear.

For trackless models, the floor surface should be free from debris and obstacles.

La control panel and electrical systems should be tested to confirm proper function, including battery charge levels, wiring connections, and emergency stop buttons.

A short unloaded test run should be performed to verify smooth acceleration, braking, and steering response.

During daily operation, staff must supervise all boarding and seating procedures.

Children should remain seated and restraints engaged throughout the ride.

Operators should monitor the train for abnormal sounds, vibration, or jerky motion.

Any irregularities must be addressed immediately to prevent accidents.

After closing, carriages should be cleaned inside and out.

Decorative elements should be inspected for damage or loosening.

Fasteners and mechanical connections should be checked and tightened as needed.

Lubrication of moving parts, including bearings, wheel axles, and steering mechanisms, should be performed regularly.

Weekly maintenance includes detailed inspection of drive systems, electrical wiring, and safety sensors.

Consumable parts such as tires, couplings, or lights should be replaced before failure occurs.

Monthly or quarterly professional inspections are recommended for structural integrity, motor performance, and safety systems.

Operators should maintain detailed logs of operating hours, maintenance performed, and replacement parts.

These logs help anticipate wear patterns and allow for proactive maintenance planning.
