3. Attach Waist Bracket and Module: Secure the waist bracket and module to the assembled frame.

6. Install Fabric Cover: Drape the fabric stand cover over the frame.
7. Power Options:
   • Plug-in: Connect the 6V 2A DC adapter to the animatronic and a power outlet.
   • Battery Operated: Insert 4 AA batteries (not included) into the designated battery compartment.
8. Fog Machine Connection (Optional):

   • If connecting to an external fog machine, ensure the fog machine has a remote control port compatible with the animatronic's relay box for synchronized operation. The provided clamp for the fog hose may not fit all fog machine nozzles; alternative securing methods may be necessary.
9. Ensure Stability: Place the assembled animatronic on a flat, stable surface. Due to its top-heavy design, consider placing weights on the base to prevent tipping.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Spot clean the fabric and plastic components as needed. Do not immerse the animatronic in water.
• Storage: When not in use, disassemble the animatronic and store it in its original packaging or a protective container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Replacement: If using batteries, replace all 4 AA batteries when performance diminishes. Remove batteries during long periods of non-use to prevent leakage.
• Cord Inspection: Regularly inspect the power adapter and cords for any damage. Discontinue use if damage is found.

7. Troubleshooting

• Animatronic Not Activating:
  • Ensure the power adapter is securely plugged into both the animatronic and a working outlet, or that fresh batteries are correctly installed.
  • Check the power switch is in the "ON" position.
  • Verify the motion sensor is not obstructed and is positioned to detect movement.
• Movement Issues (e.g., partial movement, spring issues):
  • Inspect for any obstructions in the moving parts.
  • Check for disconnected springs or linkages. If a spring is disconnected, carefully reattach it if possible, or contact customer support.
  • Ensure all assembly connections are tight and correctly aligned.
• No Sound or Distorted Sound:
  • Check the volume control dial and adjust as necessary.
  • Ensure power supply is adequate.
• Fog Machine Connection Difficulties:
  • If the provided fog hose clamp does not fit your fog machine, you may need to use an alternative method to secure the hose, such as zip ties or duct tape, ensuring a tight seal for effective fog dispersal.
  • Confirm your fog machine has a remote control port compatible with the animatronic's relay box for synchronized operation.
• Animatronic Tipping:
  • Ensure the animatronic is on a completely flat and stable surface.
  • Add additional weights to the base of the stand to improve stability, especially in areas with potential drafts or uneven ground.
