4. Setup and Assembly
The kit includes components for building four different technical machines. Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the illustrated manual to assemble each model. Each construction is designed to demonstrate specific scientific principles.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and organize them. Refer to the component list (Image 3.1) to identify each piece.
- Consult the Manual: The included illustrated manual is your primary guide. Each model has dedicated assembly instructions.
- Follow Steps Sequentially: Build each machine by following the manual's steps in order. Pay close attention to the orientation and connection points of each piece.
- Secure Connections: Ensure all connections are firm but do not force parts together. The pieces are designed to fit precisely.
- Verify Assembly: After completing a model, compare it with the images in the manual to ensure correct assembly before proceeding to operation.

5. Operating the Models and Conducting Experiments
Once a model is assembled, you can begin to explore the scientific principles it demonstrates. Each construction is designed for specific experiments related to levers, pulleys, and gears.
- Levers: Observe how levers multiply force or distance. Experiment with different pivot points and load positions to understand mechanical advantage.
- Pulleys: Discover how pulley systems can change the direction of force or reduce the effort needed to lift objects. Build simple and compound pulley systems.
- Gears: Learn about the transmission of motion and changes in speed and torque using gears. Observe how different gear sizes affect rotation speed and direction.
The instruction manual provides detailed guidance for each experiment, including questions to consider and observations to make. Engage with the models to understand the practical application of these engineering concepts.

6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your Lisciani I'm a Genius Science Engineering Lab Kit, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe components with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store all parts in the original box or a suitable container to prevent loss and damage. Keep the kit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Inspection: Periodically check for any worn or damaged parts. While spare parts information is not readily available, careful handling will minimize wear.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during assembly or operation, consider the following troubleshooting tips:
- Parts Not Fitting: Double-check the manual to ensure you are using the correct parts for the current step and that they are oriented correctly. Do not force parts.
- Model Not Functioning Smoothly: Verify that all connections are secure and that no parts are obstructing the movement of gears or levers. Ensure axles are properly seated.
- Missing Parts: Carefully re-check the packaging and your workspace. If a part is genuinely missing, refer to the manufacturer's contact information (if available on the packaging) for assistance.
