BUILD INSTRUCTIONS

22
AGORAMODELS PORSCHE 917KH
Spare screws are included with each part. Occasionally, you may be instructed
to keep spare or unused screws for a later stage. Keep these spares in a safe
place and label them correctly.
Please make sure you don’t mix up the screws. They look quite similar, but the
threads do vary slightly. Using the wrong screws may damage the parts.
When securing parts together using multiple screws, fit each screw loosely to
ensure all the parts are correctly aligned before gently tightening them firmly,
but not overtight, in the order in which you placed them.
The screwdriver can be magnetized by stroking it with a magnet (fridge
magnet, etc.) enabling it to hold the screws and make assembly easier.
If a screw is tight going into a metal part, do not force it as you may shear the
head off. Remove it and put a tiny smear of Vaseline, soap or light oil on the
thread. That will lubricate it and make it easier to drive home.
During the course of this build, you will receive many pieces that you will
assemble immediately – following the instructions in the corresponding stage
– and other pieces that you should store safely to one side, for use in future
assembly stages.
Left and Right! When building your Porsche, the left or right hand side refers to
each side as you are sitting in the car.
WARNING: Some parts are assembled using magnets. These magnets can
cause serious injury if they are swallowed. Keep away from children. If you
suspect a magnet has been swallowed, seek medical help straight away.
