Assembly Instructions (Setup)
Follow these steps to assemble your Yokozuna Shiranui 3D puzzle. No glue is required for assembly.
- Preparation: Carefully remove all wooden pieces from the sheets. It is recommended to use a small tool, such as a craft knife or toothpick, to gently push out smaller pieces if they are not easily detached by hand. Be cautious not to break delicate parts.
- Identify Pieces: Refer to the included instruction sheet to identify each piece by its corresponding number or shape. The instruction sheet provides a visual guide for piece identification and placement.
- Follow Diagrams: Assemble the puzzle by following the step-by-step diagrams provided in the instruction sheet. Pieces are designed to interlock securely. If a piece does not fit easily, do not force it. Recheck the diagram to ensure correct orientation and piece selection.
- Interlocking Mechanism: The pieces are designed to fit snugly. Gentle pressure should be sufficient to connect them. Some pieces may require a slight twist or wiggle to align properly.
- Completion: Continue assembling until all pieces are connected and the Yokozuna Shiranui model is complete.

Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Dust the model gently with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions, as they may damage the wood.
- Storage: Store the assembled model in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations, to prevent warping or fading of the wood.
- Handling: Handle the model with care to avoid accidental breakage of delicate parts.
Troubleshooting
- Pieces Not Fitting:
Ensure you are using the correct piece for the current step and that its orientation matches the diagram. Do not force pieces together, as this can cause damage. If a piece is slightly tight, gently sand the edges with fine-grit sandpaper (not included) if necessary, but this is rarely needed.
- Missing Pieces:
Carefully check the wood sheets and packaging again. Sometimes small pieces can stick to the sheet or get overlooked. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact the retailer or manufacturer for assistance.
- Broken Pieces:
If a piece breaks during removal or assembly, a small amount of wood glue (not included) can be used to repair it. Apply sparingly and allow to dry completely before continuing assembly.
