5. Operating Instructions

1. Powering the Motor: Connect the provided USB data cable to the motor unit's USB Power Interface. Plug the other end into a suitable USB power source (e.g., computer, wall adapter, power bank).
2. Using the 3-Gear Switch: The motor unit features a 3-gear switch for controlling its operation. Experiment with the different settings to observe how they affect the movement of your assembled model.
3. Creative Play: Once powered, observe the movement of your mechanical creations. Adjust the gear configurations and block arrangements to explore different motions and functions.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the building blocks and motor unit with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the motor unit is completely dry before use.
• Storage: Store the building blocks and components in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep all parts in the original packaging or a suitable storage container to prevent loss.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all parts for wear or damage. Discontinue use if any part is broken or compromised.

7. Troubleshooting

• Motor Not Working:
  • Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the motor unit and the power source.
  • Verify the USB power source is functioning correctly.
  • Check the 3-gear switch on the motor unit is in an 'on' position.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the gears from turning.
• Blocks Not Connecting Securely:
  • Ensure the blocks are aligned correctly before pressing them together.
  • Avoid forcing blocks; if they don't fit, try a different orientation or block.
• Model is Unstable:
  • Reinforce the base and critical connection points with additional blocks.
  • Ensure all connections are firm and tight.
