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 w ith the

other side.Slide a 10mm long collar onto the longest pieceof 6mm dowel.With a bead of glue in the other hole of the crankplate, push the shaft into this hole so that the end is flush withthe crank plate surface. Put a small amount of glue ontothe shaft next to the crank plate and move the

collar up to the crank plate turning it asyou do so to spread the glue inside.

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

Check out the HELPFUL HINTS before getting started

located on the back of the instructions on the bottom left hand side.

Please turn over

With glue in the end holes of the triangular followerpush in the two 5mm diam dowels; check that the 25mmdisc will fit between them with a little space to spare.Placea bead of glue in the small hole and push in the 3mm x

25mm bamboo until the end is

flush with the surface.

Put a bead of glue in a short collar and push in the remaining

6mm diam shaft so that one surfaceof the collar is

flush with the endof the dowel.

Push the shaft through the hole nearest to the centre of oneof the base sides as shown.Put a drop of glue on the shaftabout halfway along.Slide on a 20mm long collar turning itas 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 followertight 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.

In the same way push the drive shaft through the

other hole and glue on another long collar andthen 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.

Put the 3mm hole in the longend of the bent pull rodover the 3mm peg inthe triangular

follower. Place the holes in

the other base side over theends of the two 6mm shafts.

Slide the end plates upwardsinto the slots in the base

sides.

Glue two 3mm pegs, 27mm long, into the back

hind leg unit so that the ends are flush with the

back surface.Push the slots in the base strip ontothe two back slots

of the end plates.

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.Placethe 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 sidepiece over the top peg on the hind leg unit;the otherpeg will pass through the slot.Place the top hole ofthe pull rod over the 4mm x 17mm peg in the body

side piece. By turning the handle the body side piece shouldmove up and down.

Push one of the pegs in the front legthrough the hole in the body side andthe other will pass through the slot.Now push the lowest peg in the mane

through the top hole of the body.Themane and the leg should bothswing freely on their piv-

ots.

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 a nything 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.

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 themiddle peg in the mane unit.When the handle is turnedthe bodywill 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 longstraight link.Glue a 3mm x

8mm peg into the lower hole

of the tail so the end is flushwith the back surface. Position,but do

not glue, the upper hole over

the upperpeg of the

hind leg unit.

Position layer 4 over layer 5 . Glue a 3mm x 8mm peginto the end hole of the triangular link (12a) Place the twoholes 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.

With a bead of glue in the hole below the slot at theback end of the remaining body side,push the bodyunit over the five pegs, two of which will pass through

the slots; there should be no glue in any ofthe other holes.Do not press the body sidetoo close up to the links;turn the handleand check that everything moves Thebody side may need looseningslightly. Position layer 3 on

the two pegs on layer 4.

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.Checkwhen 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 ofglue 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 andcheck all parts are moving.

With a bead of glue in each of the upper holes in the remaininghind leg unit position over the front slots in the base sidesand 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 bypushing the long bamboo lengths through the end holes

of the base sides and the two base strips; glue ifnecessary.When the handle is turned the

body will move up and down,thejaws will open and close,the

front legs will claw the air

and the tail will wave.
