Troubleshooting
Parts do not fit together correctly.
Double-check the part numbers against the manual. Ensure no debris is obstructing the connection points. Verify you are using the correct screws for the specific step.
Light or sound functions are not working.
Check that the batteries are inserted correctly with the proper polarity. Ensure the battery compartment is securely closed. Confirm that all wiring connections related to the light and sound modules are properly seated as per the manual.
Movable parts (doors, bonnet) feel stiff or loose.
Gently adjust the hinges. If loose, ensure screws are adequately tightened without overtightening. If stiff, check for any obstructions preventing smooth movement.
Decals are difficult to apply or are peeling.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application. Use a damp cloth or decal setting solution (sold separately) for easier positioning and adhesion if necessary. Smooth out any air bubbles carefully.
