3. Assembly Instructions

Before beginning assembly, ensure you have a clean, well-lit workspace. Adult supervision is highly recommended, especially when handling small parts and electrical components. Each model comes with its own detailed instruction manual. Please refer to these specific guides for step-by-step assembly.

General Assembly Guidelines:

1. Unpack and Organize: Carefully remove all components from their packaging. Identify and separate the wooden pieces, electrical parts, and tools for the specific model you intend to build first.
2. Review Instructions: Read through the entire instruction manual for the chosen model before starting. Familiarize yourself with the steps and component identification.
3. Handle with Care: The wooden pieces are laser-cut for precision. Gently detach them from the sheets. If any small wood bits remain, carefully trim them with the provided mini screwdriver or a small, safe tool (adult supervision required).
4. Secure Connections: When assembling wooden pieces, ensure they fit snugly. Apply a small amount of the provided adhesive if necessary to secure joints, allowing adequate drying time.
5. Electrical Connections: This is a critical step. Ensure all wires are connected correctly according to the diagrams in the specific model's manual. WARNING: Some electrical leads may have open contacts. Always ensure connections are secure and insulated where possible. Avoid direct contact between exposed wires to prevent short circuits and potential overheating. Adult supervision is essential during all electrical assembly.
6. Battery Installation: Once assembly is complete, install the required batteries (not included) into the battery holder, observing correct polarity (+/-).

Model-Specific Assembly Notes:

Mini Ferris Wheel Assembly

Assemble the base and frame, then attach the rotating wheel and passenger cabins. Connect the motor and battery holder as per the instructions to enable rotation.

Fiber Optic Lamp Assembly

Assemble the lamp base and housing. Insert the fiber optic strands into the designated slot and connect the LED light and battery holder. Ensure the fiber optics are spread evenly for optimal light dispersion.

Star Night Light Assembly

Construct the lantern-style housing with star cutouts. Install the LED light inside and connect it to the battery holder. The light will illuminate the star patterns.

4. Operating Instructions

Once your model is fully assembled and batteries are correctly installed, operating it is simple:

• Power On/Off: Locate the small switch on the battery holder or base of the model. Flip the switch to the 'ON' position to activate the motor or LED lights. Flip it to 'OFF' when not in use.
• Light Effects: The Fiber Optic Lamp and Star Night Light feature colored LED lights that can change and emit various colors, creating a dynamic visual effect.
• Movement: The Mini Ferris Wheel and Mini Carousel Model will begin to rotate once powered on, simulating an amusement park ride.

5. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity of your STEM kits:

• Cleaning: Wipe the wooden surfaces with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as they may damage the wood or electrical components.
• Battery Care: If the models will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and corrosion.
• Storage: Store the assembled models or disassembled components in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Poraxy STEM Kit, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Model Not Working / Lights Not Turning On:
  • Check that batteries are installed correctly with the proper polarity (+/-).
  • Ensure batteries are fresh and have sufficient charge.
  • Verify all electrical connections are secure and wires are not loose or disconnected.
  • Confirm the power switch is in the 'ON' position.
• Parts Not Fitting Together:
  • Ensure you are using the correct pieces for the step you are on, referring to the specific model's instruction manual.
  • Check for any small, leftover wood bits from the laser-cutting process that might be obstructing the fit. Carefully trim them if present.
  • Do not force pieces together, as this may cause damage. Re-examine the instructions for proper orientation.
• Electrical Safety Concerns (e.g., wires heating up):
  • Immediately turn off the model and remove batteries.
  • Re-check all electrical connections to ensure no exposed wires are touching each other (short circuit).
  • Ensure wires are not pinched or damaged.
  • If the issue persists, discontinue use and contact customer support.
