About the Model

Model <>

This is a mechanical model designed for self-assembly without glue. All moving parts can be waxed during assembly to reduce friction when operating the model.

Assembly Instructions

General Assembly Tips:

Remove model parts from the hanger board as illustrated.
Be careful not to break parts. If a part does not remove easily, carefully cut it out with a knife.
If you have difficulty installing the axles, try waxing them with a regular candle.
All moving parts can also be waxed during assembly to reduce friction when operating the model.

Features

NATURAL: Made from natural materials.
NO GLUE CONNECTION: Assembled without glue.
SELF ASSEMBLY: Parts are pre-cut and ready to assemble.
MECHANICAL: Functional mechanical model.
EDUCATIONAL: Promotes learning and understanding of mechanics.

Important Notes

Be careful not to break parts during assembly.
If a part is difficult to remove, carefully cut the connecting points with a knife.
Waxing moving parts with a candle can improve smooth operation.
Do not use a lighted candle for waxing.

Troubleshooting

Issue: Pendulum stops moving.

Solution: Turn the regulator slot toward (-).

Issue: Timer runs and then stops.

Solution: Check all gear faces and roller surfaces for burrs and remove them.

Issue: Timer operates erratically.

Solution: Adjust the tension in the rubber band. Increase tension if the timer stops suddenly, decrease tension if it operates chaotically.
