Setup

Upon receiving your Jada Toys die-cast model, carefully remove it from its packaging. Inspect the model for any visible damage or loose parts. The model is designed for immediate display directly out of the box. No assembly is required.

Operating Features

The Jada Toys Brian's Ford F-150 SVT Lightning die-cast model features several interactive elements:

• Opening Hood: Gently lift the front edge of the hood to reveal the detailed engine compartment. Avoid forcing it open to prevent damage to the hinges.
• Opening Doors: The driver and passenger side doors can be carefully opened to view the interior. Use a gentle touch to prevent damage to the hinges.
• Rolling Wheels: The wheels are designed to roll smoothly. This model is intended for display and light movement on flat surfaces.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your die-cast model, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away dust. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth with plain water can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the paint finish and decals.
• Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause paint fading and material degradation. Keeping it in its original packaging or a display case is recommended to protect it from dust and accidental damage.
• Handling: Always handle the model by its main body. Avoid gripping delicate parts such as mirrors, antennas, or spoilers, as these can be fragile and prone to breakage.

Troubleshooting

While die-cast models are generally robust, minor issues may arise. Here are some common concerns and suggested approaches:

• Stiff Moving Parts: If doors or the hood feel stiff when attempting to open them, apply very gentle, even pressure. Do not force them, as this can break hinges or damage the paint. Over time, with careful and repeated use, these parts may loosen slightly.
• Loose or Detached Parts: In rare instances, small parts such as mirrors or wipers may become loose or detach. If a part detaches, and you possess the necessary skills and tools, a small amount of model-safe adhesive (e.g., super glue designed for plastics/metals) can be used to reattach it. Apply adhesive sparingly. For significant damage, consider contacting the manufacturer for advice.
• Paint Scratches or Chips: Minor surface scratches can sometimes be minimized with specialized model polishing compounds. For deeper scratches or paint chips, touch-up paint matching the model's color may be required. This is best performed by an experienced hobbyist or professional to maintain the model's value and appearance.
