BATTERY CHARGING/CARE

CAUTION: Use only the charger supplied

with this toy. Do not use any other charging source.

Use only HOT WHEELS NiMH battery packs. Other batteries may leak or rupture, causing personal injury and damage.

1. Plug the battery charger into standard wall outlet.

2. Hold the battery pack fully open, with the metal contacts at the top, as shown. The labels marked 1 and 2 in the upper left-hand corner should be facing you. Now slide the battery pack securely into the charger.

3. To disconnect, push the red button on the side of the charger. Hold the red button down while you slide out the battery pack.

4. After charging, the battery pack may feel warm. This is normal for fully charged batteries.

5. New battery packs must be charged for 5 1/2 hours the first two times charged. After that, subsequent charges will require 4 hours. Charging the battery pack for more than 4 hours will not give you a longer running time. 4 hours is all that is required for a fully charged battery pack.

6. Unlike NiCd (Nickel-Cadmium) rechargeable batteries, your TMH may be recharged at any time irrespective of the level of charge remaining in the battery. You do not have to wait until the battery pack is fully discharged to recharge it.

7. After use, the battery pack will be hot! Wait at least 20 minutes until the battery pack cools down before recharging. Recharging a hot battery will greatly reduce the number of times your battery pack can be recharged.

I. CONTENTS/ FEATURES

Twin PowerScrews

SMART CIRCUITRY

Your new vehicle is equipped with advanced “Smart Circuitry” designed to protect its electronic components under extreme operating conditions. If your vehicle stalls or gets stuck during use, it will automatically power down. Simply release the transmitter controls for a few seconds, then press the left control to resume normal operation.

NOTE: When your vehicle powers up again, you may notice some movement of the vehicle body and the PowerScrews. This may also happen if the vehicle is switched off with the PowerScrews angled, and then turned back on. This is completely normal: it’s an automatic system designed to return the vehicle to normal driving position. Once the movement has stopped, you may simply resume normal operation.

II. ALL TERRAIN, ALL THE TIME!

• Your vehicle is engineered for amazing multi-direction driving…on land, in water and over just about any kind of terrain! Driving and stunt capabilities will vary depending on the driving surface. Keep reading for detailed information.

• The left control moves in eight different directions to control your vehicle’s direction of movement.

• The right control controls the angle of the PowerScrews.

• With practice, you’ll discover that the two transmitter controls work together to give you complete control over your vehicle. These graphics show you how the controls work.

BASIC DRIVING

The PowerScrews are engineered for great straight-

ahead driving performance on many surfaces. However, smooth surfaces – like sidewalks, asphalt, tile, or hard flooring – don’t provide enough traction for straight-ahead driving. On this kind of surface, simply use “sidewinder” driving.

POWERSCREW OPERATION

ADVANCED OPERATION

SPECIAL WATER STUNTS

Your vehicle is designed to do super-cool 360°

spins in the water! This is a water-only stunt – on land, these control operations will give you cool “sidewinder” driving action.

PRO DRIVING TIPS

On low-pile carpeting, your vehicle may sometimes

drift or slide to one side when driving straight. This is a result of the advanced design of the PowerScrews and it’s completely normal. To regain control, simply steer left or right…or else release the transmitter controls for a moment, and then resume driving.

When driving in snow, turning performance may vary

depending on the depth and wetness of the snow. For the best results, you may want to turn your vehicle by tapping or pulsing the transmitter controls.

Your vehicle is engineered to drive right from one kind of

terrain to another. Of course, it may not be able to do that if the transition from one surface to another is too steep or difficult. In that situation, simply pick up the vehicle and reposition it…for more all-terrain action!

III. BATTERY INSTALLATION

Vehicle

1. Unscrew the battery door with a Phillips head screwdriver (not included). Swing the battery

door up and away from the vehicle.

2. Fold the TMH an “L” shape, as shown. Check the labels marked 3 and 4, to make sure they match the illustration.

3. Insert the horizontal portion of the battery pack (label 3) into the battery compartment as shown. Push it all the way into the battery compartment (toward the back of the vehicle). You’ll feel it click into place.

4. Fold down the vertical portion of the battery pack (label 4), as shown. Make sure the battery pack is folded all the way down.

5. Replace the battery door and tighten screw.

6. To remove the battery pack: Unscrew and remove the battery door. Lift the top portion of the battery pack (label 4) into a vertical position. Slide the battery pack toward the front of the vehicle to release, and lift out the battery pack.

FOR DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING VEHICLE BATTERY CHARGING AND SAFETY, PLEASE FOLLOW THE “BATTERY CHARGING/ CARE” INSTRUCTIONS LOCATED ON THE BACK PAGE.

IV. TIPS & HINTS

TIPS & HINTS – FOR ALL DRIVING

ENVIRONMENTS

1. When your vehicle starts to lose power, it may lose functions or performance. It's time for a recharge. For best stunt performance, always start with a fully-charged battery. Your vehicle's running time may change depending on driving style and driving environment.

2. Radio interference can make your vehicle run badly. Interference can be caused by other R/C vehicles running on the same frequency; electrical wires; large buildings; CB radios; or other wireless gear. Try to stay away from these!

3. Point your transmitter antenna up - not down toward your vehicle. If your vehicle gets too far away, it won't work properly.

4. Don’t store your vehicle near heat or in direct sunlight. Always turn switches OFF and remove all batteries for storage.

5. After each use, remove any water, moisture, dirt or mud from the vehicle, using a clean dry cloth. Make sure the vehicle is fully drained of water, and allow the vehicle to air-dry completely after use.

TIPS & HINTS – FOR WATER OPERATION

1. Operate your vehicle only in calm, clear water. Pools and shallow ponds are recommended. DO NOT OPERATE IN SALT WATER. Do not expose vehicle to water unless the battery compartment is properly closed.

2. After a few minutes of water operation, you should pay close attention to your vehicle’s location, making sure that it’s close to the water’s edge. That way your vehicle will be able to return safely under its own power.

3. Do not expose the transmitter to water. If the transmitter is accidentally exposed to water, remove the transmitter battery and allow the transmitter to air-dry completely. Replace with a fresh battery before resuming operation.

CONSUMER INFORMATION

Note to Adults: To ensure that the child’s play is both safe and fun, please review all operating instructions and safety rules with your child.

SAFETY TIPS – FOR ALL DRIVING ENVIRONMENTS

• NEVER drive your vehicle on streets! They’re for

real cars!

• DO NOT pick up vehicle while in motion.

• Keep fingers, hair and loose clothing away from

the PowerScrews while the vehicle is switched ON.

• Adult supervision is recommended when this

vehicle is being operated.

• To avoid accidental operation, remove all

batteries when not in use. Always turn the vehicle OFF before removing batteries.
