Setup and Assembly

- Read Instructions: Review the entire instruction manual for the specific model before beginning assembly.
- Gentle Handling: Wooden pieces can be delicate. Apply gentle pressure when detaching and connecting parts. If a piece is difficult to fit, do not force it. Use sandpaper (if provided) to gently smooth edges if necessary.
- Adhesive (Optional): While most ROBOTIME puzzles are designed for interlocking assembly without glue, a small amount of wood glue can be used for added stability on certain joints if desired (glue not included).

Operating Instructions (Big Ben TG507)
The Big Ben model features an integrated LED light to enhance its display. The Vintage Car model does not have operational features.
LED Light Operation:
- Power Source: The LED light typically operates on small button cell batteries (e.g., LR44 or similar), which are usually not included in the kit. Refer to the Big Ben instruction manual for the exact battery type and quantity.
- Battery Installation: Locate the battery compartment, usually at the base or a hidden section of the model. Insert batteries according to the polarity markings (+/-).
- Activation: Once batteries are installed, there may be a small switch or a contact point to activate the LED light. Follow the manual's specific instructions for turning the light on and off.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your wooden puzzles, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Dust the models regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the wood.
- Storage/Display: Display your models in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. These conditions can cause the wood to warp, crack, or fade.
- Handling: Handle the assembled models with care, especially delicate parts like spires, antennas, or small decorative elements.
- LED Light (Big Ben): If the LED light dims or stops working, replace the batteries as per the operating instructions.
Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pieces do not fit together easily. | Misalignment, excess material, or incorrect piece. | Check the piece number and orientation. Gently sand the edges if there's excess material. Do not force. |
| Model feels unstable after assembly. | Loose connections or missing pieces. | Re-check all connections. Ensure all pieces are firmly interlocked. Consider using a small amount of wood glue on critical joints for added stability. |
| Big Ben LED light does not turn on. | Dead batteries, incorrect battery installation, or loose connection. | Replace batteries with new ones. Ensure batteries are inserted with correct polarity. Check that the LED module is properly connected and the switch is in the "on" position. |
