3. Assembly Instructions
Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the included building manual. The JEKCA system uses a unique interlocking method for enhanced stability.
3.1 Understanding the Interlocking System
Unlike traditional building blocks, JEKCA bricks are secured using pins and a pin driver (screwdriver). This creates a robust connection, making your model less likely to fall apart.
Figure 3.1: The JEKCA interlocking system. Insert a pin through the top block and into the bottom block, then turn 90 degrees with the pin driver to secure. This method ensures a sturdy and aesthetic build.
Figure 3.2: Detailed steps for interlocking blocks. First, align the blocks (1). Next, insert the pins (2). Finally, use the pin driver to turn the pins 90 degrees to lock them in place (3).
3.2 General Assembly Steps
- Unpack Components: Carefully open the packaging and lay out all the bricks, pins, and the pin driver. It is recommended to sort bricks by color or size if the manual suggests.
- Refer to Building Manual: The primary building manual included in your box contains specific, detailed diagrams for each step of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier model. Follow these diagrams precisely.
- Connect Bricks: As indicated in the manual, place the bricks together. When two bricks need to be joined, insert the provided pins through the designated holes.
- Secure with Pin Driver: Use the pin driver to turn each inserted pin 90 degrees. This action expands the pin within the blocks, creating a secure, interlocking connection. Ensure each pin is fully turned to prevent loose connections.
- Layer by Layer: Build your model layer by layer, ensuring each section is firmly interlocked before proceeding to the next. Pay close attention to the orientation of each brick.
- Final Touches: Once all sections are assembled, double-check all connections to ensure maximum stability.

- Display: Place your finished model on a flat, stable surface. Its robust construction allows for handling, but avoid excessive force or dropping.
- Interaction: While sturdy, this is a display model and not intended for rough play.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your JEKCA model, follow these cleaning guidelines:
- Dusting: Use a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush to gently remove dust from the surface.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, lightly dampen a cloth with water and a mild soap solution. Gently wipe the affected area, then dry immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Avoid Immersion: Do not submerge the model in water.
5.2 Storage
If you need to store your model or its components:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or material degradation.
- Keep small parts and pins in a sealed container to prevent loss.
6. Troubleshooting
- Missing or Damaged Parts: If you find any missing or damaged bricks, pins, or tools upon opening the package, please contact JEKCA customer support with your purchase details.
- Loose Connections: If a section of your model feels loose, ensure that all pins in that area are fully inserted and turned 90 degrees with the pin driver. Re-tighten as necessary.
- Difficulty Assembling: Double-check the building manual for the specific step you are on. Ensure you are using the correct bricks and their proper orientation. Sometimes, a small error in an earlier step can affect later assembly.
