4. Assembly Instructions
The Robotime Rokr 3D Wooden Music Box Puzzles are designed for glue-free assembly. Follow the detailed, step-by-step instructions provided in your kit's dedicated assembly guide. The process involves carefully detaching pieces from the wooden sheets and interlocking them according to the diagrams.
General Assembly Tips:
- Preparation: Lay out all wooden sheets and the instruction manual on a clean, flat surface.
- Detaching Pieces: Gently push out the pre-cut pieces. If a piece is stubborn, use a craft knife or the provided tool to carefully cut the connecting points.
- Sanding: Use the included sandpaper to smooth any rough edges or burrs on the pieces for a better fit and smoother operation of mechanical parts.
- Waxing: For models with gears or moving parts, apply a small amount of wax (if provided) to the contact surfaces to ensure smooth rotation and reduce friction.
- Follow Order: Adhere strictly to the numbered steps and diagrams in the instruction manual. Do not force pieces together; if they don't fit, recheck the step and ensure correct orientation.
- Mechanical Components: Pay close attention when assembling the gear-transmission and music mechanism. Incorrect assembly can prevent the model from functioning properly.

5. Operating Instructions
Once your Robotime Rokr music box puzzle is fully assembled, it's ready to bring joy with its mechanical movement and melody.
Winding the Music Box:
- Locate the winding knob on your specific model (usually on the side or bottom).
- Gently rotate the knob clockwise until you feel a slight resistance. Do not over-wind, as this can damage the mechanism.
- Release the knob. The music box will begin to play its melody, and the mechanical parts (e.g., biplanes, carousel horses, planetary gears) will start to move.
Melodies by Model:
- Air-Control Tower (AMK41): "It's A Small World"
- Starry Night (AMK52): "Memory from Cats"
- Romantic Carousel (AMK62): "Carousel Waltz"
- Secret Garden (AMK51): "Swan Lake"
- Victorian Lantern: "You Light Up My Life"

6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your wooden music box puzzle, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe dust from the model. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the wood and internal mechanisms.
- Storage: Store the model in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity, which can cause the wood to warp or crack.
- Handling: Handle the model with care. Avoid dropping it or applying excessive force to moving parts.
- Mechanism Care: The internal music mechanism is delicate. Do not attempt to disassemble it. If the mechanism becomes stiff, a very small amount of dry lubricant (like graphite powder) can be applied to visible gear teeth, but avoid liquid lubricants.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your music box, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Music Box Not Playing:
- Ensure the music box is properly wound.
- Check for any obstructions in the music mechanism or moving parts.
- Verify that all gears are correctly aligned and engaged.
- Parts Not Fitting:
- Double-check the instruction manual to ensure you are using the correct pieces and orientation for the current step.
- Gently sand the edges of the pieces if they are too tight. Do not force them, as this can cause breakage.
- Moving Parts are Stiff:
- Ensure all connecting points and gears are free of debris.
- Apply a small amount of wax (if provided) or graphite powder to the contact surfaces of gears and axles to reduce friction.
- Missing or Damaged Pieces:
- Refer to the package contents list. If a piece is genuinely missing or damaged upon arrival, contact customer support for assistance.
