Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the JEKCA Blocky Hippo 01S requires careful attention to detail. Follow the included step-by-step manual for the best results. The unique interlocking system ensures a robust structure.

Understanding the Interlocking System

JEKCA models use a patented interlocking brick-through system. This system involves inserting pins through the bricks to secure them firmly, creating a sturdy sculpture without the need for adhesive.

1. Preparation: Unpack all components and organize your bricks by color and size if desired. Refer to the Quick Guide for initial setup tips.
2. Follow the Manual: The detailed instruction manual provided in the package illustrates each step of the assembly process. Pay close attention to the brick placement and pin insertion points.
3. Pin Insertion: For each connection point, insert a pin through the designated holes in the bricks. Use the provided pin driver to gently push and turn the pin 90 degrees to secure the connection. Ensure pins are fully seated and turned to prevent loose connections.
4. Layer by Layer: Build the model layer by layer, ensuring each section is stable before proceeding to the next.
5. Review: Periodically review your progress against the manual to ensure accuracy.

Maintenance

Once assembled, your JEKCA Blocky Hippo 01S model requires minimal maintenance to preserve its appearance and structural integrity.

• Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. For more stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid excessive moisture.
• Storage: Store the model in a stable location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation or discoloration.
• Handling: While sturdy, avoid dropping or applying excessive force to the model to prevent bricks from detaching or pins from loosening.

Troubleshooting

Should you encounter any issues during assembly or with your completed model, refer to these common solutions:

• Loose Connections: If a section feels unstable, check that all pins in that area are fully inserted and turned 90 degrees with the pin driver. Re-insert and turn any loose pins.
• Missing Pieces: Carefully re-check your packaging and work area. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact JEKCA customer support with details of the missing part (shape, color, quantity).
• Difficulty Inserting Pins: Ensure the bricks are correctly aligned. Apply gentle, even pressure. If a pin is still difficult to insert, check for any debris in the brick holes.
• Incorrect Assembly: If a section does not look right or does not fit, carefully backtrack through the instruction manual to identify the error. Disassemble the incorrect section and reassemble it correctly.
