4. Assembly Instructions
The JEKCA African Grey 02S model is assembled using a unique interlocking system with screws. Follow the included detailed building manual for step-by-step guidance.

Unlike traditional building blocks, JEKCA blocks are secured with small screws using the provided pin driver. This method ensures a strong and stable structure.

4.2 General Assembly Tips
- Organize Components: Sort bricks by color and size to streamline the building process.
- Follow the Manual: Refer to the included building manual for specific part placement and screw types. The manual will indicate which size screws (e.g., size 2 for smaller, size 3 for larger) to use for different connections.
- Secure Connections: Ensure each screw is fully inserted and turned 90 degrees to properly interlock the blocks. Incomplete turns can lead to instability.
- Patience is Key: The assembly process involves many small parts and precise connections. Take your time to avoid errors.
4.3 Completing the Model
Once all sections are assembled according to the manual, connect them to form the complete African Grey Parrot model. The interlocking system ensures the model is sturdy and resistant to accidental falls.

5. Maintenance
To keep your JEKCA model in optimal condition:
- Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. For more stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid excessive moisture.
- Storage: Store the model in a stable location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation or discoloration.
- Handling: While sturdy, avoid dropping or applying excessive force to the model to prevent damage to individual blocks or connections.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter difficulties during assembly or with the finished model, consider the following:
- Difficulty Understanding Instructions: The instruction manual can be complex due to the detailed nature of the build. Review each step carefully, paying close attention to the diagrams. Some users find it helpful to sort all pieces before starting.
- Loose Connections: If blocks feel loose, ensure the screws are fully inserted and turned 90 degrees. Re-tighten any loose screws using the pin driver.
- Missing Pieces: Carefully check all packaging for small parts. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact JEKCA customer support (see Section 8).
- Model Instability: Ensure all sections are correctly joined and all screws are tightened. Revisit the assembly steps for any areas that seem weak.
