b) Now place the black and red terminals in their
positions and route the wires.

c) Slide the gears into their places as show in figure
4, 5. Lock them in place by putting on the lid like
shown in fig 6.
d) Add the two side covers to complete the gearbox.

2) Solar Module:

The Solar module provides power to the gearbox and makes the
toy come alive.
a) Place the adhesive pads (P8) on plastic module
(A16) and then place the solar cell (P6) onto it. Be
careful to feed the wires through the gap provided.
Remove the protective film that covers the solar cell.

b) The final step in the assembling the solar module is
removing the ends off of the wires from the solar
module. The wires are already partially stripped but
left in place for safety. While holding the wire and
the stripped piece twist the stripped piece and
gently pull it off. It should come off easily. Remove
both pieces of stripped ends.

3) Merging of the Solar and Gearbox Modules:

Now that the Gearbox and Solar Modules are completed
we can put them together and start making some of the
toys.
a) It is very important to orientate the gearbox module
before starting this process. In the lower right corner of
the gearbox is a directional arrow pointing to the right.
Have this arrow on your righthand side when performing
this.
b) Observe the (+) and (-) symbols of the gearbox
module. Line up the green wire to the (-) terminal and
the white wire to the (+) terminal of the gearbox module.
c) Bend over the spring terminal on the gearbox module
and insert the wires (remember to observe the correct
colors) through them to protrude out the other side.
Release the spring terminal gently. The wires from the
solar module should be securely in place to form a good
connection. If they are loose repeat the process until
they are firmly in place. Ensure that the wires don't
touch as this will cause a short circuit and the motor will
not turn.
