Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your CaDA C61026W model, follow these maintenance tips:

• Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid excessive moisture.
• Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or warping of the plastic bricks.
• Handling: Handle the model carefully, especially when moving it, to avoid accidental detachment of parts.
• Part Replacement: If any parts become loose or damaged, refer to the original instruction manual for reassembly or contact customer support for potential replacement parts.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Missing Pieces: If you discover missing pieces during assembly, carefully re-check the packaging and all sorted piles. If pieces are genuinely missing, contact CaDA customer support with details of the missing part (as identified in the instruction manual).
• Parts Not Fitting: Ensure you are using the correct parts for each step as indicated in the manual. Apply firm, even pressure when connecting bricks. Avoid forcing parts that do not fit, as this may cause damage.
• Model Instability: If the model feels unstable, review the most recently assembled sections in the instruction manual to ensure all connections are secure and all bricks are correctly oriented.
• Difficulty with Functional Parts: If a functional part (e.g., steering, doors) does not operate smoothly, check for any misaligned or incorrectly placed bricks that might be obstructing its movement.
