4. Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to assemble your electric elevator toy. It is recommended to lay out all parts and identify them before beginning.

1. Prepare Wooden Pieces: Gently detach all pre-cut wooden pieces from their frames. If any edges are rough, use the provided sandpaper to smooth them.
2. Assemble Base and Pillars: Connect the four vertical pillars to the base wooden piece using the designated slots and fasteners. Ensure they are stable and upright.
3. Construct Elevator Car: Assemble the smaller wooden pieces to form the elevator car. Pay attention to the orientation of the pieces to ensure the car can move freely within the main structure.
4. Install Motor and Top Plate: Attach the electric motor to the top wooden plate. Ensure the motor's shaft is aligned with the opening for the pulley system. Secure the top plate to the pillars.
5. Set Up Pulley System: Thread the string through the pulley on the motor shaft and attach it to the top of the elevator car. Adjust the string length so the car can travel from the bottom to the top of the structure.
6. Connect Electrical Components: Connect the motor wires to the battery box and the remote control according to the wiring diagram (if provided, or standard connections). Ensure the battery box has 2 AA batteries inserted correctly.
7. Final Checks: Verify all connections are secure and the elevator car moves smoothly without obstruction.
