Parts List

Before you begin assembly, please verify all parts against the provided list. This is crucial for a smooth building experience. It is highly recommended to lay out all parts and take a photo for reference, especially for replacement parts if needed. If any parts are missing, please contact customer service for replacements.

Main Parts Overview

The following image displays the complete set of parts included in your kit, along with their quantities. This includes various beams, pins, axles, gears, shock absorbers, wheels, and chain links. Each component is labeled with its required quantity for assembly.

Cross Axle Identification Guide

To correctly identify cross axles, compare them against a beam with holes. Count the number of holes the axle spans. For instance, an axle that fits through 9 holes is a "9-unit axle". Generally, even-numbered axles are black, and odd-numbered axles are grey.

For example:

• 8-unit axle: approximately 6.4 cm (often black)
• 7-unit axle: approximately 5.6 cm (often grey)
• 5-unit axle: approximately 4 cm (often grey)
• 3-unit axle: approximately 2.4 cm (often grey)

Text description: This image illustrates various cross axles. Black axles are shown with lengths like 6.4 cm (8-unit) and 2.4 cm (3-unit). Grey axles are shown with lengths like 5.6 cm (7-unit) and 4 cm (5-unit). This visual aid helps in distinguishing axle lengths and colors.

Assembly Instructions

Follow these step-by-step instructions to assemble your MOC Mountain Bike model. Ensure you are working on a clean, flat surface (avoid carpets or blankets).

Operating Instructions

This MOC Mountain Bike model is designed for display and light play. The shock absorbers are functional, and the chain allows the wheels to turn together.

To operate, gently push the model forward or backward. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the intricate connections. The model is not designed for rough play or high-impact activities.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: The building blocks can be sterilized. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away dust. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly, then air dry completely. Avoid high pH cleaners, high temperatures, and damp environments.

• Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures, to prevent material degradation or deformation.

• Part Replacement: If any parts become loose or damaged, refer to the parts list and assembly instructions for identification and replacement.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Model is unstable or parts fall off: Double-check all connections, especially pins and axles, to ensure they are fully inserted. Refer to the assembly steps for specific areas.

• Wheels do not turn smoothly: Ensure the axles are correctly aligned and not bent. Verify that the chain is properly tensioned and not too tight or too loose. Lubrication is generally not required for plastic building blocks.

• Difficulty connecting parts: Some connections, especially for wheels or tight joints, may require firm pressure. Ensure parts are aligned correctly before applying force.

• Missing parts: If you discover missing parts during assembly, please contact customer service for assistance. It is recommended to verify all parts at the beginning of the assembly process.

Specifications

User Tips

• Organize Parts: Before starting, sort all pieces by type and color. This significantly speeds up the assembly process and reduces frustration.

• Check Connections: For complex models like this, frequently check that all connections are secure. Loose connections can lead to instability later on.

• Patience is Key: Building block models require patience. If a step seems difficult, take a break and re-examine the instructions and parts.

• Use the Right Tools: While not strictly necessary, a brick separator (often included in larger sets or available separately) can be very helpful for disassembling incorrectly placed bricks.
