“Hi! I’m your K NEX Building Buddy.
Need help... I’m here!
Look for me to guide you
as you select models
with the right level
of challenge.”
PARTS LIST
Before you start building, be sure to compare the
parts in your set with the parts listed here.
If anything is missing, check out the back cover
of this instructions booklet for ways to contact us.
We’re here to help!
’
CAUTION: Keep hands, face, hair
and clothing away from
all moving parts.

FLEXI-RODS
AFlexi-rod is a Rod that you
bend to make curves. It will
be easier to attach to your
model if you bend it back and
forth first.
Here’s how you can help your child
build with KNEX!
GEARS
Toengage the Gears, push
the tan Lock into the holes.
Note the position of the Gear
and the direction of the teeth.
Make sure the Gears mesh.
SPACERS
Some models use
different colored Spacers.
Be surethat you use
correct color, size and
number of Spacers.
CONNECTORS
These Connectors have
long slots so you can
join them. They slide
together as you see in
the picture. Push them
together until
you hear a "click."
