Battery Installation: The set requires 6 AAA batteries (not included) for the motor. Install these into the battery box located within the display stand according to the polarity markings.

Operating Instructions

Once fully assembled and batteries are installed:

Ensure the model is securely placed on its display stand.
Locate the power switch on the display stand (refer to the product overview image for location).
Flip the switch to the "ON" position to activate the motor. The intake blades will begin to spin, simulating a working aircraft engine.
To observe the internal mechanics, gently open the side panels of the engine casing. This allows for a visual inspection of the compressor and turbine components while the engine is running.
To turn off the engine, flip the power switch to the "OFF" position.

Important: Do not obstruct the moving parts while the engine is operating. Keep fingers and loose objects away from the intake blades.

Maintenance

Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe down the model to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the plastic components.
Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent warping or discoloration of the plastic.
Battery Care: If the model will not be used for an extended period, remove the AAA batteries from the battery box to prevent leakage and potential damage to the electrical components.
Component Integrity: Periodically check for any loose or damaged pieces. Reattach or replace as necessary to maintain the model's structural integrity and functionality.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Motor does not run.	Batteries are dead or incorrectly installed. Power switch is off. Loose electrical connection.	Replace with fresh AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Ensure the power switch on the stand is in the "ON" position. Check all wired connections within the model and stand for secure fit.
Pieces do not fit together securely.	Incorrect piece used. Misalignment during assembly.	Refer to the instruction guide to verify the correct piece for the step. Disassemble the section and reassemble carefully, ensuring proper alignment and firm connections.
Engine casing panels do not close properly.	Internal components are obstructing closure. Hinges are misaligned or damaged.	Check for any misplaced pieces inside the engine that might prevent the panels from closing. Inspect the hinge mechanisms for proper assembly and function.
