Product Overview
The CaDA Double Eagle 10-in-1 Port Kit offers a versatile building experience, allowing the construction of ten different port-themed models from a single set of 634 pieces. This kit includes components to build a truck, trailer, container loader, telescopic handler, forklift, container transporter, gantry crane, and port bridge crane. It is designed to be compatible with other major building block systems, such as LEGO Technic components.
The kit incorporates mechanical principles, including power transmission via toothed beams, force deviation through universal joints, a scissor lift system, and worm gear drives. A key feature is the integrated sound/light control module, which allows for motor control through acoustic input (clapping) or infrared detection (hand gestures). The module is powered by a supplied 3.7V rechargeable battery, which can be charged using the included USB cable.
Safety Information
WARNING: This product contains small parts and is intended for ages 6 and up. Adult supervision is recommended during assembly and play to prevent choking hazards and ensure proper use.
Setup and Assembly
The CaDA 10-in-1 Port Kit comes with detailed instruction manuals for each of the ten possible models. It is recommended to follow the instructions carefully, step-by-step, to ensure correct assembly and functionality of each model.
- Unpack Components: Carefully unpack all 634 pieces and sort them by type or color to facilitate the building process.
- Consult Manuals: Refer to the specific instruction manual for the model you wish to build. Manuals are provided for the Truck + Trailer + Load (65 pages), Forklift (41 pages), Telescopic Loader (41 pages), Container Transporter/Elevator/Gantry Crane (61 pages), and Jib Crane/Port Crane (41 pages).
- Assemble According to Instructions: Follow the visual and textual instructions precisely. Pay attention to the orientation and connection points of each piece.
- Motor Module Integration: Integrate the sound/light control module and 3.7V battery as instructed for models that utilize motorized functions.
Operating Instructions
Certain models within the CaDA 10-in-1 Port Kit feature motorized functions controlled by the sound/light module. Ensure the 3.7V battery is fully charged before operation.
- Battery Charging: Connect the provided USB cable to the 3.7V battery and a compatible USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, wall adapter). The battery indicator will show charging status.
- Motor Control (Acoustic): To activate the motor via sound, make a distinct tapping or clapping sound near the sound/light module. The motor will respond to the acoustic input.
- Motor Control (Infrared): To activate the motor via infrared, place your hand over the infrared sensor on the module. The motor will respond to the change in light detection.
- Functionality: Note that some functions may be linked. For example, the forklift's fork might only raise when the vehicle moves forward and lower when it moves backward. Refer to the specific model's manual for detailed operational sequences.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and continued enjoyment of your CaDA Port Construction Kit.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe dust and dirt from the building blocks. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure all parts are completely dry before storage. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the building blocks and assembled models in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep them in their original packaging or a dedicated storage container to prevent loss of pieces.
- Battery Care: When not in use for extended periods, ensure the 3.7V battery is charged to approximately 50% capacity and stored in a cool, dry place. Avoid fully discharging the battery for long periods.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Motor not responding to sound/light. | Low battery; sensor obstructed; insufficient input. | Charge the 3.7V battery fully. Ensure the sensor is clean and unobstructed. Provide clear, distinct acoustic input (clap) or fully cover the infrared sensor. |
| Pieces are too stiff to connect or disconnect. | Tight manufacturing tolerances; new pieces. | Apply gentle, firm pressure. For disconnection, use a brick separator tool if available, or carefully pry apart. Connections may loosen slightly with use. |
| Model functions (e.g., steering) are stiff or not smooth. | Incorrect assembly; misaligned gears/axles. | Review the assembly instructions for the specific mechanism. Ensure all gears, axles, and connecting pins are correctly aligned and fully inserted. |
| Missing pieces. | Packaging error; pieces misplaced during unpacking/assembly. | Carefully check all packaging materials and the assembly area. If pieces are genuinely missing, contact CaDA customer support. |
