1. Introduction
This guide was created by the IBM Corporate Citizenship & Corporate Affairs to provide
comprehensive advice with assembling and using a Young Explorer. It is intended to be used in
conjunction with a copy of the Little Tikes Young Explorer Instruction Manual (standard instruction
manual) that is included with the equipment, and makes many references to instructions shown in
the manual.
Note: The two documents differ in step order. Although we recommend the step order in the Assembly
and Setup Manual, references are made to the same step as shown in the standard instruction
manual (included with the equipment). These reference numbers appear in red brackets after the
instruction text.

2. Things to consider before you begin
2.1 Choose a location
Construct the unit where it will stay. It is large, awkward and heavy once assembled. Don’t
build it in one place and try to move it into your classroom. It may be tool large to move through
doorways. The Young Explorer is approximately 30 lbs/14kg and approximately 45”/115cm wide,
47”/120cm high, and 55”/140cm deep. Once assembled, it weighs approximately 80 lbs/36kg.
The computer should be located:
• where care providers can easily see it;
• away from any direct sources of heat, such as radiators or sunny windows;
• away from messy areas such as the kitchen, chalkboards, water tables, or art center;
• away from science supplies, especially magnets;
• close to an electrical outlet the power strip cord is quite short and it is best not to run
extension cords in a busy childcare setting;
• in an area with other computers or Young Explorers; this will make it easier to supervise or
instruct children while they are using the computers; and
• away from windows, which may cause a glare, making it difficult to see the screen. An open
window may also be a source of dust or rain, both of which are harmful to the computer.
2.2 Tools you will need
• Drill or electric screwdriver (cordless preferred) with Phillips® head (cross-headed)
& 7/16” socket
• Pliers
• 7/16” socket & ratchet, combination wrench or nut driver
• Rubber hammer
Hints & Tips
• Using an electric screwdriver will be faster and will save your wrist a lot of aches and pains.
• The plastic screws need a lot of elbow grease to get them into the furniture—don’t give up.
They will eventually go in.

page 5
• In a few instances, some holes may not be properly formed or pre-drilled and you may need
to create them. Having a drill handy may also be useful for this purpose.
• Be careful when using a power drill unless you are an experienced user. The plastic
screws are easy to strip using a power drill.
2.3 Inventory
• Using page two of the Little Tikes Young Explorer Instruction Manual, take inventory of
the Young Explorer parts and PC parts. 2.4 Test the computer.
• Set up the computer and test it. Don’t wait until everything is together and nesting in the
Little Tikes plastic housing to see if it works.
• Also consider setting the volume on the speakers – once you cover them with the plastic
plate in Step 28 it will be difficult to adjust the sound level. Be sure to have the power on
before you cover them.
