6. Operating (Display and Handling)

Once assembled, your nanoblock Pony model is ready for display or gentle handling.

• Handling: Handle the model carefully to prevent blocks from detaching. Avoid dropping or applying excessive force.
• Not a Toy for Rough Play: While durable, nanoblock models are primarily for display and light interaction, not for rough play.

7. Maintenance

To keep your nanoblock Pony model in excellent condition:

• Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry brush or a can of compressed air. For stubborn dirt, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth, then immediately dry with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep all blocks in a sealed container to prevent loss and protect them from dust.

8. Troubleshooting

• Missing Pieces: Double-check the packaging and your workspace. Due to their small size, blocks can be easily overlooked. If pieces are genuinely missing, contact KAWADA customer support.
• Difficulty Connecting Blocks: Ensure blocks are aligned correctly. Apply gentle, even pressure. If a block seems too tight, try a different block of the same type.
• Model Instability: Review the assembly steps to ensure all connections are secure and blocks are placed according to the diagrams. A loose connection can affect overall stability.
