Do you have a question about the WILD THING 74180 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
My wild thing comes to life for about a few feet and then dies and won’t work again. I’ve replaced the battery and that didn’t help. Is it a thermal fuse and if so how do I locate it and check to see if it is bad? Any other suggestions will help.
