2. Operating Features
2.1 Lighting System
The Mayflower model features 4 built-in LED lights designed to enhance the ship's appearance. These lights are operated via rotary switches integrated into the ship's structure. One light illuminates the captain's cabin, accessible by dismantling a section of the deck. Ensure the switches are fully engaged to prevent accidental battery drain.

2.2 Movable Components
The model includes several movable parts for enhanced realism:
- Rotatable Rudder: The ship's rudder can be rotated for dynamic display.
- Spiral Oscillation (Stern Rudder): The stern rudder features a spiral oscillation mechanism.
- Deck Dismantling: Sections of the deck can be removed to reveal the detailed interior, including the captain's cabin with miniature maps, tools, and guns.
3. Maintenance and Care
3.1 Cleaning
To clean the building set, gently wipe the blocks with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these may damage the plastic.
3.2 Handling
The assembled model, particularly the display stand, contains delicate components. Handle the ship with care to prevent pieces from detaching. It is primarily designed as a display item rather than a toy for frequent handling.
4. Troubleshooting
4.1 Missing Parts
Should you encounter any issues, such as missing parts during assembly, please do not hesitate to reach out to TYCOLE customer support. We are committed to providing you with a satisfactory solution.
4.2 Lighting System Malfunction
If the LED lights are not functioning, ensure that the rotary switches are correctly engaged. It is possible for the lights to be accidentally left in a partially "on" position, leading to battery drain. Check all connections and battery status if applicable.
4.3 Assembly Difficulties
If you experience difficulty with specific assembly steps, carefully re-examine the diagrams in the instruction manual. Pay close attention to color distinctions, as some shades (e.g., brown and dark brown) can be similar in the diagrams. If problems persist, contact customer support.
