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.
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 1-888557-8926 (see hours of operation in the Warranty section).
Sometimes brand-new track may need a quick cleaning for best
performance. Check the Maintenance section of this manual for more
information.
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
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.
and continue adding track
c. Next you’ll need to add the track supports. Refer to the Assembly Map
for 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.
III. BATTERY BOX / HAND CONTROLLER ASSEMBLY
Requires 4 x 1.5V "D" size (LR20) batteries (not included). Install 4 x 1.5V "D"
size (LR20) alkaline batteries (not included) as shown.
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.
• Do not connect to more than the recommended number of Battery Packs.
• 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. The toy must be used
only with the supplied battery pack.
• Disconnect from the battery box before cleaning.
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.
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!
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!
