1.2 Target Audience

  • Small brick blocks (regular size): Suitable for children aged 14 and above, and adults.
  • Large brick blocks (Duplo series size): Suitable for children aged 14 and above.

Note: Children aged 3-6 must be accompanied by adults during use.

2. Safety Precautions

2.1 Usage Specifications

  1. Do not put blocks (especially small ones) into the mouth, nostrils, or ears to avoid suffocation risk.
  2. Do not use blocks as projectiles or weapons, and prohibit use during horseplay.
  3. Children aged 3-6 must be accompanied by adults during use, and unsafe behaviors should be corrected in a timely manner.
  4. Avoid playing while running or jumping to prevent falling and injury from stepping on scattered blocks.

2.2 Prohibited Scenarios

  1. Electronic parts (motors, battery boxes, sensors) are prohibited from contacting water sources to avoid short circuits, damage, and safety risks.
  2. Do not immerse assembled mechanical components (such as gearboxes) in water to prevent internal mold growth.
  3. Do not use metal tools to forcefully pry or disassemble parts to avoid fragmentation and sharp edges.
  4. It is not recommended to use blocks as decorations in aquariums or fish tanks.

3. Setup Guide

3.1 Preparations

  1. Part Classification: Unpack sequentially according to the bag labels in the manual (marked "Step 1-XX"). For unpackaged parts, it is recommended to store them by color and shape, and store special parts (gears, axles, ball joints) separately.
  2. Tool Preparation: Basic tools include a brick separator (for separating tightly fitted parts) and a soft brush (for cleaning dust). Optional parts sorting boxes and magnetic storage trays can improve efficiency.
  3. Environmental Requirements: Choose a spacious and flat tabletop or floor, preferably with a non-slip mat. Avoid using in humid or narrow areas.

3.2 Basic Assembly Skills

  1. Connection Method: Align the anti-studs of the upper block with the studs of the lower block, press vertically downward until fully engaged, and a "click" sound indicates successful fixation.
  2. Structural Reinforcement:
    • Vertical Stacking: For every 5 additional layers, it is recommended to add horizontal supports (such as 1×2 plates) to enhance stability.
    • Horizontal Splicing: Adopt the "interlocking structure" (upper bricks cover the gaps of lower bricks) to increase bending resistance by 30%.
  3. Use of Special Parts:
    • Cross Pins: Select the appropriate size by comparing with the length marking in the manual.
    • Movable Parts: Reserve a 1-2mm gap for ball joints to avoid jamming. Add 1 idler gear for every 5 gears in gear transmission to reduce wear.

3.4 Advanced Assembly Suggestions

  • Color Matching: Follow the "7:2:1 Rule" (70% main color + 20% auxiliary color + 10% accent color) to avoid messy colors.
  • Modular Construction: Split complex models into independent subsystems (foundation, main body, decoration) first, then assemble them as a whole to reduce error rate.
  • Dynamic Structures: Balance flexibility and stability at the connection points of movable parts to avoid excessive looseness or tightness.

4. Specifications

4.1 Basic Size Definition

  • Lego Unit: 1 unit for small bricks = 8mm; 1 unit for large bricks = 16mm.
  • Studs: Protruding connections on the top of blocks, with a diameter of 5.0mm and a center distance of 8.0mm between adjacent studs.
  • Anti-studs: Grooves on the bottom of blocks for precise engagement with studs to achieve fixation.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning Methods

  1. Regular Cleaning: Soak in mild soapy water, wipe gently with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using chlorine bleach or strong corrosive cleaners.
  2. Gap Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a hair dryer on low temperature to clean dust in part gaps.
  3. Thoroughly dry after cleaning to prevent moisture residue and bacterial growth.

5.2 Storage and Preservation

  1. Store in a dry and well-ventilated place to avoid part aging due to humid environments.
  2. Use sorting boxes or storage bags to organize parts by type to prevent loss.
  3. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material embrittlement.
  4. For long-term non-use, it is recommended to disassemble large assembled models to reduce part fatigue and wear.

5.3 Service Life

  • Under normal use conditions, the blocks can maintain good performance for many years. They have passed rigorous bite strength, impact, and pressure tests (can withstand 15kg pressure and 1.5m drop impact).
  • Avoid long-term heavy pressure or high-temperature environments to extend service life.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Regular Inspection

  1. Inspect the integrity of blocks weekly. Immediately stop using and replace any damaged, cracked, or deformed parts.
  2. Store small and large bricks separately to prevent young children from accessing small bricks.
  3. If parts are lost, contact official customer service for replacement according to the part number in the manual's parts list.

6.2 Missing Parts

In case of any missing parts, a free missing part replacement service is provided. Please contact customer support with the part number from the manual's parts list.
