Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your CaDA C64012W model, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid excessive moisture.
• Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or material degradation.
• Handling: Handle the model carefully, especially when moving it, to avoid accidental detachment of parts.
• Part Integrity: Periodically check for any loose connections or parts and re-secure them if necessary.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during assembly or with the completed model, consider the following:

• Missing Parts: Double-check all packaging and sorting areas. If a part is genuinely missing, contact CaDA customer support with the part number from the instruction manual.
• Loose Connections: Ensure all bricks are firmly pressed together. Sometimes a connection may appear secure but is not fully engaged.
• Functional Issues (e.g., steering, engine): Review the relevant assembly steps in the manual. Incorrect placement of a single gear or pin can affect the entire mechanism. Disassemble and reassemble the problematic section carefully.
• Stability Issues: Verify that the core structure is correctly built according to the instructions. A stable base is crucial for the overall model.
