Fisher-Price G4635 Instruction Sheet

II. DETAILED TRACK ASSEMBLY

a. Your race set makes two different layouts. Refer to the Assembly Map for

detailed track assembly. Start with the Terminal Track and continue
adding track pieces until your layout is complete.

b. Once your layout is assembled, you’ll need to

add guardrails. Refer to the Assembly Map for
placement. To attach a guardrail: gently flex
the guardrail before attaching it. Carefully
attach the bottom of the guardrail first. Then
pull up and snap into place. Don’t force
guardrails into place.

1. There are letters molded into each

track piece. These letters are used in
these instructions to indicate which
track piece goes where. Following the
layout drawings on the Assembly Map,
you may want to lay out your track –
without connecting any track pieces.
That way you’ll be able to see how the
track layout goes together.

2. To connect track pieces: working on

the flat surface, push the ends of the
track pieces together. Make sure they
snap together securely – you’ll hear a
click when they’re properly connected.
Remember: if the track connections
aren’t right, electric power won’t flow
from one track section to the next.

3. To disconnect track pieces,

simply reach underneath where the
track pieces meet and press the lock­ing tabs together with thumb and fore­finger as shown.

Follow the step-by-step instructions to set up your race set.

Please separate the “Assembly Map” page, and keep it handy during assem­bly. This page contains the contents list and large-scale Layout Drawings of
the fully-assembled track. You’ll need to refer to it as you go.

The Assembly Map looks like this:

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Be sure to check out the Troubleshooting Guide on the back of the
Assembly Map.

I. BASIC TRACK ASSEMBLY

Start out on a clean, hard, flat racing surface – not carpeting. Take out all the
track pieces (and other parts) and check them carefully against the contents
list on the Assembly Map.

Sometimes brand-new track may need a quick cleaning for best
performance. Check the Maintenance section of this manual for more
information.

Occasionally the metal track rails will stick up too far from the surface
of a track piece, as shown. This may interfere with vehicle movement.
To correct, simply press the rail back down with your finger. If the prob­lem persists, please contact Customer Service toll-free at 1-888-557­8926 (see hours of operation in the Warranty section).

Keep these instructions

for future reference, as they contain important information.

Look for this symbol throughout this manual. It indicates important infor­mation.

placement. Attach them as shown. To assemble a track support, separate
the pieces as shown and snap off the connector tabs (discard the tabs).
Next, fit the two pieces together as shown. Insert the assembled track sup­port into the round hole on the underside of the track as shown.

CONGRATULATIONS!

You’re ready to race. For “pro” competition, please read the following driving
tips and maintenance hints.

DRIVING TIPS

Here are some “inside” racing tips…for top performance!

1. Always race on a clean, hard, flat surface. For best

racing performance, we don’t recommend carpeting.

2. Clean track is IMPORTANT for best performance! Please refer to the

Maintenance section for detailed instructions for cleaning the track.

3. Races are won in the curves! Slow down going into

the curves…then speed up coming out of them.
Accelerate to build up speed for loops and jumps.

4. Anyone can be a “pro” racer – the secret is practice! Remember to “break

in” your new cars with a few “qualifying” laps. Cars always run better after
they’ve “warmed up.”

5. Experienced racers know that regular maintenance is the key to top racing

performance. Read and follow
the easy steps in Section II.

6. If you have questions or difficulty operating your Race Set, check the

Troubleshooting Chart first. Usually a quick “pit stop” will get you racing
again!

MAINTENANCE:

ADULTS NOTE: All “pro” racers know that their vehicles need mainte­nance from time to time…for best performance. Follow these simple
steps to keep your car running at its best!

USE ALKALINE BATTERIES ONLY.

Battery Performance Note: For best performance use alkaline batteries (where
disposable batteries are called for). Replace batteries when vehicle motion
becomes too slow.If your product is supplied with standard (carbon-zinc) bat­teries for initial use and/or demonstration purposes, we recommend replacing
them with alkaline batteries when necessary. Battery life may vary depending
on battery brand.

Always unplug your Battery Pack when not in use!

a. The cables for the Battery Pack and the

hand controllers have color-coded plugs to
help you make your connections properly.
First, plug the red plug into the red recepta­cle on the terminal track. Next, plug the yel­low hand controllers into the yellow recep­tacles on the terminal track.

b. To test track and power connections, hold a

car on the track with its metal contacts
touching the metal track rails. Gently hold
the front end of the car down while lifting
the vehicle as shown (do not lift the vehicle
by its rear tires). Squeeze the hand con­troller: the car’s rear tires should spin. If
they don’t, there’s a connection problem.
Carefully check the track and power con­nections.

c. Your hand controller is your car’s “throttle.”

The more you squeeze the trigger the faster
your car will go. Practice at a slow speed
for a few laps, until you’re ready to race!

SPECIAL NOTE TO ADULTS:

• Always make sure your Race Set is unplugged before assembling or dis­assembling track. Always unplug Battery Pack when not in
use.Regularly examine for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and
other parts.

• In the event of any damage, this toy must not be used with the battery
box until the damage has been repaired.

• If this toy is being operated in the presence of children under 5 years
old, adult supervision is recommended.

• This toy is not intended for children under 3 years old.

• Disconnect from the battery box before cleaning.

III. BATTERY BOX / HAND CONTROLLER ASSEMBLY
