3. Setup and Assembly

The Gao Giraffe figure comes largely pre-assembled. Follow these steps for initial setup:

1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the Gao Giraffe figure and any included accessories from its packaging. Retain the packaging for future storage or reference.
2. Inspection: Inspect the figure for any visible damage or missing parts. If any issues are found, refer to the Troubleshooting section or contact customer support.
3. Articulation Check: Gently move the articulated joints (neck, legs) to ensure they move freely. Do not force any joints.

4. Operating Instructions

The Gao Giraffe is designed for both standalone play and combination with other Power Animals.

4.1. Standalone Play

• Posing: The figure features articulated joints allowing for various poses. Adjust the neck and leg positions to recreate dynamic scenes.
• Transformation: The Gao Giraffe can transform into a weapon or arm component for combination. Refer to the specific transformation steps detailed in the Gaoking manual for precise instructions on how to prepare the Gao Giraffe for combination.

4.2. Combination with Gaoking (Sold Separately)

The primary function of the Gao Giraffe is to combine with the Gaoking figure to form a more powerful robot configuration. The packaging indicates its role in this combination.

1. Prepare Gaoking: Ensure your Gaoking figure is in its robot mode and ready for Power Animal attachment.
2. Transform Gao Giraffe: Transform the Gao Giraffe into its weapon or arm mode as instructed in the Gaoking manual. This typically involves folding or extending specific parts.
3. Attach: Carefully align the connection points on the transformed Gao Giraffe with the designated ports on the Gaoking figure. Securely attach the Gao Giraffe. It often forms an arm or a weapon accessory.
4. Verify Connection: Ensure the Gao Giraffe is firmly attached to prevent accidental detachment during play.

5. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity of your Gao Giraffe figure.

• Cleaning: To clean the figure, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive water, as these can damage the paint or plastic.
• Storage: Store the figure in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause discoloration. Keep it away from dust and moisture.
• Handling: Handle the figure with care. Avoid dropping it or applying excessive force to its joints or delicate parts.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Gao Giraffe, refer to the following common solutions:

• Stiff Joints: If a joint feels stiff, gently try to move it back and forth. Do not force it. Sometimes, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant (not oil-based) can be applied sparingly to the joint, but this should be done with caution and only if necessary.
• Parts Not Fitting: Ensure you are following the correct transformation or assembly steps as outlined in the Gaoking manual. Check for any obstructions or misalignments. Do not force parts together, as this can cause breakage.
• Loose Parts: If a part becomes loose, inspect the connection point. If it's a simple snap-fit, try reattaching it firmly. For persistent looseness, contact customer support.
