Setup and Assembly
Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the dedicated assembly booklet included with your set. Organize your pieces by color and shape to facilitate the building process. Pay close attention to the diagrams for correct part placement and orientation.
Key Assembly Points:
- Mechanical Linkage System: The core of the mantis's articulated movement is built early in the process. Ensure all gears and connecting rods are securely fastened and move freely.
- LED Lighting Integration: Install the LED components as directed. Ensure wires are properly routed and connections are firm to avoid damage or malfunction.
- Wing Assembly: The movable wings require careful assembly to ensure their simulated movement functions correctly.

Operating the Model
Once assembled, your Mechanical Mantis offers interactive features:
- Articulated Movement: The model features a rocker-controlled linkage system. Gently manipulate the designated control point (refer to your assembly booklet for exact location) to observe the simulated movement of the mantis's head, arms, and wings.
- LED Lighting: Activate the built-in lighting by pressing the power button or switch, as indicated in your assembly instructions. This illuminates the model, enhancing its display presence.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe dust from the model. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
- Joint Care: If any articulated joints become stiff, ensure no dust or debris is obstructing movement. Do not apply lubricants unless specifically recommended by the manufacturer.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Parts do not fit together. | Incorrect part orientation or wrong part selected. | Refer to the assembly booklet to verify part number and orientation. Ensure parts are aligned correctly before applying gentle pressure. |
| Articulated movement is stiff or non-functional. | Gears or linkages are misaligned, obstructed, or too tightly assembled. | Check all mechanical connections for proper alignment. Disassemble and reassemble the affected section, ensuring all parts move freely before securing. |
| LED lights do not turn on. | Loose electrical connection, incorrect battery installation (if applicable), or faulty LED component. | Verify all wire connections are secure. Ensure batteries (if required) are inserted correctly with the correct polarity. If issues persist, contact customer support. |
| Missing or damaged parts. | Manufacturing defect or oversight during packaging. | Contact SKY LINE OCEAN customer support with your purchase details and a description of the missing/damaged parts. |
