Assembly Instructions
The K96214 model is a complex building kit designed for a rewarding assembly experience. Follow the included paper manual carefully for step-by-step instructions.
- Preparation: Unpack all building blocks and sort them by type or color as suggested in the manual. Ensure you have a clean, well-lit workspace.
- Step-by-Step Assembly: Refer to the detailed illustrations and instructions in the paper manual. Each step will guide you through connecting the 1100 pieces to form the radial engine structure.
- Mechanical Components: Pay close attention when assembling the internal mechanical transmission system, pistons, and fan blades. Proper alignment is crucial for smooth operation.
- Motor and Battery Box Installation: Integrate the M-motor and battery box according to the manual's diagrams. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Final Checks: Before operating, double-check all connections and moving parts to ensure they are correctly assembled and move freely.
The assembly process will reveal the precise piston motion, the internal mechanical transmission system, and the mechanism for hand-cranked engine angle adjustment.
Operating Instructions
Once fully assembled, your K96214 Radial Aircraft Engine Model can be operated to demonstrate its realistic mechanics.
- Powering On: Insert the required batteries (not included) into the battery box. Ensure the battery box is correctly connected to the M-motor.
- Activating the Motor: Locate the switch on the battery box or motor unit (refer to your paper manual for exact location). Flip the switch to the "ON" position to activate the M-motor.
- Observing Mechanics: The M-motor will drive the internal mechanical transmission system, causing the pistons to move precisely and the fan blades to rotate.
- Manual Adjustment: The model features a hand-cranked mechanism for adjusting the engine's up and down angle. Gently turn the designated crank to change the display angle.
- Powering Off: When finished, flip the switch to the "OFF" position to conserve battery life.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your model, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid excessive moisture.
- Inspection: Periodically check for any loose or detached building blocks. Reattach them firmly to prevent loss or damage.
- Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.
- Battery Care: Remove batteries from the battery box if the model will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Missing or damaged parts upon arrival | Manufacturing defect or shipping damage | Contact customer service immediately for replacement parts. |
