5. Operation

5.1. ROBOTIME MC801 Vintage Car

The MC801 Vintage Car is primarily a static display model. Its wheels are designed to rotate, allowing for manual movement across flat surfaces. There are no motorized or wind-up functions for propulsion.

5.2. ROBOTIME AMK63 Magic Cello Music Box

To operate the music box:

1. Locate the winding key or mechanism, typically found on the side or bottom of the base.
2. Gently turn the key clockwise until you feel a slight resistance. Do not overwind, as this can damage the mechanism.
3. Release the key, and the music box will begin to play its melody. The AMK63 plays "Nocturne in E Flat, Op. 9 No. 2".

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Dust the models regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as they may damage the wood.
• Storage: Store the models in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations, to prevent warping or fading of the wood.
• Moving Parts: If any moving parts (especially on the music box) become stiff, apply a small amount of wax (paraffin wax or beeswax) to the contact points.

7. Troubleshooting

• Parts Not Fitting: If pieces are too tight, gently sand the connecting tabs. If too loose, a tiny drop of wood glue (not included) can be used, but this is generally not recommended for these kits.
• Broken Piece: If a piece breaks during assembly, attempt to repair it with wood glue. Contact customer support if a critical piece is irreparably damaged.
• Music Box Not Playing:
  • Ensure the winding mechanism is fully wound (but not overwound).
  • Check if any gears are jammed or misaligned. Gently adjust if possible.
  • Apply wax to gears if friction is preventing movement.
