Інструкція з експлуатації
This set includes a wind-up motor to bring your creations to life. Follow these steps to operate the motor:
- Integrate the Motor: Ensure the wind-up motor is correctly integrated into your K'NEX model according to the specific model's instructions. The motor typically connects to gears or rotating parts of your structure.
- Wind the Motor: Locate the winding mechanism on the motor. Turn the knob or lever clockwise to wind the motor. Do not overwind, as this can damage the internal mechanism.
- Механізм випуску: Once wound, the motor will store kinetic energy. Release the mechanism (if applicable) to activate the motor and set your K'NEX creation in motion.
- Спостереження: Observe how the motor drives the gears and rods, creating movement in your model.
