Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and playability of your LEGO set, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Clean LEGO bricks with a mild soap solution and lukewarm water (not exceeding 40°C or 104°F). Rinse thoroughly and air dry. Do not use hot water, harsh chemicals, or abrasive materials.
- Storage: Store the assembled model or individual bricks in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent discoloration or warping.
- Disassembly: If disassembling, carefully separate bricks to avoid damage. Keep small parts organized to prevent loss.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during assembly or play, consider the following:
- Missing Pieces: Double-check all packaging and surrounding areas. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact LEGO Customer Service for replacement parts.
- Loose Connections: Ensure all bricks are firmly pressed together. Sometimes, a loose connection can cause instability in the model.
- Functional Mechanisms Not Working: Review the specific assembly steps for the lion gate, drawbridge, or cannon. Ensure all gears, levers, and connecting pins are correctly installed and move freely.
- Model Instability: Verify that the base is correctly assembled and placed on a flat, stable surface. Reinforce any sections that frequently detach during play.
