4. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and cleanliness of your DAISO Excavator Petit Block model, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: If the blocks or assembled model become dusty, gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: When not on display, store the assembled model or loose blocks in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent material degradation or discoloration. The original re-sealable pouch is suitable for storing loose blocks.
- Handling: Handle the assembled model with care to prevent accidental disassembly or damage to the interlocking connections.
5. Troubleshooting
As this is a static building block model, extensive troubleshooting is generally not required. However, if you encounter issues during or after assembly, consider the following:
- Missing or Damaged Parts: Carefully check the packaging and surrounding area for any small, overlooked blocks. If a part is genuinely missing or damaged upon opening, contact the retailer or manufacturer for assistance.
- Model Instability: If the assembled model feels unstable, review the assembly instructions to ensure all blocks are correctly and firmly connected. Sometimes, a block may not be fully pressed into place.
- Difficulty Connecting Blocks: Ensure blocks are aligned correctly before applying pressure. Avoid forcing blocks together, as this can cause damage.
