Follow these steps to begin building your gear creations:
- Prijunkite bazes: Start by interlocking the green bases to form a stable foundation for your structure. The bases can be connected side-by-side or at angles.
- Add Pillars: Insert the square pillars into the holes on the bases. These pillars provide height and support for your gears.
- Attach Axles: Place the six-way axles onto the tops of the pillars or directly into the bases. These axles serve as connection points for the gears.
- Position Gears: Slide the colorful gears onto the axles. Ensure the gears mesh properly with adjacent gears for smooth rotation.
- Integrate Crank Handle: Attach the crank handle to any gear that is part of your interconnected system. This handle will be used to set your creation in motion.

Naudojimo instrukcijos
Once your gear structure is assembled, operating it is simple:
- Turn the Crank: Gently turn the crank handle in either direction. Observe how the motion transfers through the interconnected gears, causing them all to spin.
- Experiment with Speed and Direction: Notice how turning the crank faster or slower affects the speed of the other gears. Experiment with different gear sizes and arrangements to see how they influence the direction and speed of rotation.
- Explore Mechanical Principles: This set allows for hands-on exploration of simple machines, cause and effect, and basic mechanical engineering concepts.

Trikčių šalinimas
If you encounter any issues with your gear set, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problema | Galima priežastis | Sprendimas |
|---|---|---|
| Gears are not spinning smoothly or are jamming. | Gears are not properly meshed, or there is too much friction. | Ensure all gears are correctly aligned and their teeth interlock. Check for any foreign objects obstructing movement. Reassemble the section if necessary. |
| Crank handle does not turn all gears. | The gear connected to the crank is not linked to the main gear system, or there's a break in the chain of gears. | Verify that the crank-attached gear is directly or indirectly connected to all other gears you intend to move. Ensure no gaps exist in the gear train. |
| Pieces do not stay connected. | Pieces are not fully inserted, or there is excessive force applied. | Press pieces firmly together until they click into place. Avoid lifting structures by only one section; support the base. |
