TABLE OF CONTENTS

Candy Claw Machine

Children as young as eight years of age

can enjoy experimenting with the built

Candy Claw Machine, but most children

under 12 years will need a lot of help

building it. Regardless of their age,

please support your child with advice

and a helping hand, especially during

tricky assembly steps. Before

beginning, read the directions together

and discuss the safety instructions.

To prevent damage to the work

surface on which your child is building,

provide them with a mat or other

surface protection.

When cutting the plastic parts out of the

frames with the diagonal cutters or

scissors, special care must be taken,

not just because of the sharp edges on

the tools, but also because the plastic

parts can yield sharp edges or burrs.

These can be removed with the help of

the diagonal cutters or a nail file.

Supervise your child when they are

using the sharp tools until you trust that

they can handle the tools independently.

We hope you and your child have a lot

of fun building and playing with the

Candy Claw Machine!

Dear parents and adults,

Not suitable for children

under 3 years. Choking

hazard — small parts may

be swallowed or inhaled.

Strangulation hazard —

long tubes and belts may

become wrapped around

the neck.

Keep the packaging and

instructions as they

contain important

information.

Refer to the packaging for

the nutritional information

and the ingredients list for

the lollipops.

WARNING

– You must carefully cut the plastc parts out of ther

carefully See specal note n red to the left

– Remove the parts from the frames only when they are needed

– Remove excess materal (burrs) from the parts before

assemblng them Normal scssors do not cut as precsely as

dagonal cutters, so you may have to fle some of the rough

edges down wth a nal fle or sandpaper

You have probably seen a claw machine game at a

movie theater, video arcade, shopping mall, bowling

alley, or other entertainment venue in your area. They

go by many names including claw cranes, toy cranes,

and skill cranes. They usually consist of a large, clear

box lled with prizes like toys and stuffed animals.

Inside the box is a claw that moves in three

dimensions: forward and backward, left and right, and

up and down. The player operates the claw with either

push buttons or a joystick controller on the outside of

the machine. The player pays a fee to try their luck at

moving the claw to the correct position and grabbing a

prize. Then the claw returns to its starting position and

drops the prize into a chute where the player can get it.

With this kit, you can build a mechanical claw

machine. Your machine requires no electricity or

electronics — just simple machines and the power of

your hand. Here is an overview of the different parts of

the Candy Claw Machine:

P14 x3

A9 x2

Note: If the suction cups get

stuck to your work surface

during assembly, you can

remove them from the model

until the end.

Back side

Note: There is a small tab on the bottom of P1. When

the spools (A9) are on the left side of the tab, they can

not rotate relative to the driveshaft (A1).

Later, when installing the ribbon (step 43), the spool

on the inside moves to the other side of the tab so that

it can spin freely without rotating the drive shaft.

Note: When inserting A10, pick up the parts with

both hands. Make sure the parts are fastened

together before moving on to the next step.

Add the spring (P18) to C5.

Insert the piston from step 12 into the

hydraulic cylinder (C8) and move it back and

forth several times to coat the inside of the

cylinder with oil. Reapply oil as necessary.

Pour vegetable oil

into a small bowl.

Then dunk the

piston seal (P13)

into the oil, making

sure to coat it

completely.

Repeat steps 12 and

13. You will end up

with two hydraulic

cylinders:

You have made

hydraulic 1 (H1).

You have made

hydraulic 2 (H2).
