To assemble the handle shaft place a bead of glue in one of the holes of the crank plate.

Push the short length of 6mm diameter dowel into the hole until the end is flush with the other side. Slide a 10mm long collar onto the longest piece of 6mm dowel.With a bead of glue in the other hole of the crank plate, push the shaft into this hole so that the end is flush with the crank plate surface. Put a small amount of glue onto the shaft next to the crank plate and move the collar up to the crank plate turning it as you do so to spread the glue inside.

Check out the HELPFUL HINTS before getting started located on the back of the instructions on the bottom left hand side.

Put a bead of glue in a short collar and push in the remaining 6mm diam shaft so that one surface of the collar is flush with the end of the dowel.

In the same way push the drive shaft through the other hole and glue on another long collar and then 25mm disc.The disc will fit between the two 5mm pegs so that when the handle is turned the triangular follower will move up and down.

Lion Instructions

With glue in the end holes of the triangular follower push in the two 5mm diam dowels; check that the 25mm disc will fit between them with a little space to spare. Place a bead of glue in the small hole and push in the 3mm x 25mm bamboo until the end is flush with the surface.

Push the shaft through the hole nearest to the centre of one of the base sides as shown. Put a drop of glue on the shaft about halfway along. Slide on a 20mm long collar turning it as you do so. Slide it up to the base side but leave a very small gap so that the shaft can be turned easily. Put glue on the shaft near the end of the long collar and slide on the triangular follower tight up to the collar (the 3mm peg should be pointing towards the handle side of the base) Make sure the shaft is free to turn.

Put the 3mm hole in the long end of the bent pull rod over the 3mm peg in the triangular follower. Place the holes in the other base side over the ends of the two 6mm shafts. Slide the end plates upwards into the slots in the base sides.

Glue two 3mm x 35mm pegs into the holes of the layer 8 mane piece, as shown. Glue a 3mm x 21mm peg onto the layer 7 mane piece into the top hole as shown. Place the two empty holes in the layer 7 piece over the pegs in layer 8. Glue two 3mm x 27mm pegs into the two holes in a front leg unit.

Glue a 3mm x 17mm peg onto the hole nearest to the back slot in a body side piece.

10 Put the top hole at the back end of the body side piece over the top peg on the hind leg unit; the other peg will pass through the slot. Place the top hole of the pull rod over the 4mm x 17mm peg in the body side piece. By turning the handle the body side piece should move up and down. Push one of the pegs in the front leg through the hole in the body side and the other will pass through the slot. Now push the lowest peg in the mane through the top hole of the body.The mane and the leg should both swing freely on their pivots.

Not suitable for children 3 years and under small parts with risk of choking

Please turn over

Place the two holes of layer 6 over the two upper pegs in the mane. Place one end of the long straight link over the peg through the slot at the back end of the body and the other end over the middle peg in the mane unit.When the handle is turned the body will move up and down and the mane will swing backwards and forwards. Position layer 5 over the two pegs in the mane, leaving out the peg through the long straight link. Glue a 3mm x 8mm peg into the lower hole of the tail so the end is flush with the back surface. Position, but do not glue, the upper hole over the upper peg of the hind leg unit.

Position layer 4 over layer 5. Glue a 3mm x 8mm peg into the end hole of the triangular link (12a) Place the two holes of the triangular link over the pegs in the front leg which stick through the lower hole and the slot. Put the short straight link over the peg sticking through the back slot in the body and the other end over the front slot.The notched link goes over the stub peg in the tail unit and the stub peg on the triangular unit with the notch upwards and towards the tail. 12.

With a bead of glue in the hole below the slot at the back end of the remaining body side, push the body unit over the five pegs, two of which will pass through the slots; there should be no glue in any of the other holes. Do not press the body side too close up to the links; turn the handle and check that everything moves The body side may need loosening slightly. Position layer 3 on the two pegs on layer 4.

HELPFUL HINTS: Check all the parts in trays very carefully. Read the instructions and look at all the diagrams. Get a clear idea of how the parts fit together before you start work. Do not glue anything until you are sure you understand how it should be assembled. Remember once something is glued together you cannot go back. Assemble with out glue first, to make sure they fit. To stop the wood squeaking when it is moving use a little silicone wax (the sort you apply on a cloth, not a spray and not beeswax which stays sticky). Wax surfaces which are in contact as they move. Remember if you bey wax in the wrong place, the glue will not stick to that surface. If you colour your model do not get paint on any surface which moves against another.

With a bead of glue in each of the upper holes in the remaining hind leg unit position over the front slots in the base sides and spring onto the two pegs. Make sure that you do not push the leg unit too tight up to the body. Secure the base unit by pushing the long bamboo lengths through the end holes of the base sides and the two base strips; glue if necessary.When the handle is turned the body will move up and down, the jaws will open and close, the front legs will claw the air and the tail will wave.

With beads of glue in both holes of the remaining front leg, position on the two lower front pegs sticking through the body side; do not push too tightly up to the body side. Check when the handle is turned that all parts move correctly. If the leg is too close it will cause too much friction. Position mane layer 2 on the two head pegs and with a bead of glue in each of the holes in mane layer 1. Push onto the ends of the pegs, but do not push too tightly to the body side.Turn the handle and check all parts are moving.
