Assembly Notes - Thames & Kosmos AIR Plus Water Power Experiment Manual

AIR+WATER power |
Refer back to these notes when
you are building the models.
1. NOTES FOR ASSEMBLY:
• Insert a 9.5 cm long tube into
the protruding nozzle on the
underside of the lid of the water
storage tank, and cut its other
end diagonally (Fig. 11). Position
the diagonally cut end to rest on
the inside bottom of the storage
tank so that water will easily
enter the hose when pumping.
You can attach it to the bottom
with a piece of tape if necessary.
• The lengths of hoses for the
models given in this manual are
for reference only. Be sure not
to make the hoses too tight,
twisted, or compressed (Fig.
12). Water must be able to flow
through them smoothly.
• Slide a security nut onto a hose
and screw it in completely when
connecting the hose to the
pressurized water tank and pump
(Fig. 13 & 14).
• Use an L security nut for tube A,
and an S security nut for tube B.
After repeated use, the hoses
might become worn and come
off the connection nozzles. The
solution is to cut about 1 to 1.5
cm off the end of the tube. Be
sure to wipe the nozzle dry with a
paper towel before the refreshed
hose is installed again.
• The cut hoses can be used again
and again for different models.
