Position the fuel cell onto the square slot located in the middle of the car chassis. The positive mark on the fuel cell should be positioned on the side with the red cable, and the negative mark on the side with the black cable. Push the fuel cell into the chassis.

Position the black cable terminal between the fuel cell holder and the fuel cell end plates, and position the red cable terminal in the same manner on the opposite side. Make sure the holes are aligned.

Align the fuel cell holder with the two holes on the car chassis. Place the screws into the screw holes and make sure the screws are entered through the cable terminal holes and straight into the chassis.

*Please note there are two types of screws. The smaller screws are used for the fuel cell and the larger screws are used for the car body.

Use a screwdriver to attach the fuel cell end plate and the red & black cable terminals to the screw holes on the chassis. Make sure the metal terminals from the cables are closely touching the fuel cell end plates. Do not tighten the screws until the two screws are partially entered into the chassis. Drive the screws into the chassis making sure all the parts are connected tightly without moving.

Force is required to drive these screws into place, to avoid damage to the kit ask an adult

to drive in the screws.

Connect one end of the flexible tubes to the lower nozzle on the storage cylinder and the other end of the flexible tube to the nozzle on fuel cell located nearest to the motor. Connect the other end of the flexible tube on the refueling input valve to the other nozzle located on the fuel cell. Connect the purging valve tube to the upper nozzle located on the storage cylinder. Make sure all tubes are properly positioned as in

diagram.

Warning: Make sure these connections are correct. Any other connection will not allow proper operation of the car and its fuel cell power system. Also ensure the wires are not touching the wheels and the

tubes are not kinked or pinching.

Place the front and rear bumpers onto the bumper frames on the chassis.

*Be careful not to place the bumpers upside down. Make sure the rear bumpers fit correctly onto the frame.

Position the body of the car onto the chassis. Align the holes on the chassis with the holes on the car body top. Use a screwdriver (not included) to attach the body to the chassis using the set of 4 large screws and make sure the screws are entered straight into the chassis. Do not tighten the screws until all screws are partially entered into the chassis. Drive the screws into the chassis until no gaps are left between the body and the chassis.

Remove the H2 sticker from its backing and position it on the car accordingly.

Enabling DC powered operation

Open the battery compartment located underneath the refueling station by sliding the cover according to the arrow.

Place two 1.5V AA alkaline batteries inside the battery compartment as indicated, then close the battery compartment.

AABATTERY

Place the solar panel in direct sunlight.

WARNING: Make sure these connections are correct. If connected incorrectly the refueling station may not function properly.

Slowly pour water into the water tank opening above the refueling station until the water level reaches the top. Let the water rest in the tank for at least 5 minutes before moving on to the next step. This allows the electrolyzer time to absorb the water.

Distilled water

TIP: For optimal operation and longer life of the refueling station, use of distilled water is highly recommended. You can purchase distilled water from your local drugstore or pharmacy.

Creating renewable hydrogen solar power

Attach the back of the solar panel to its small rectangular support provided in the kit. You can decide to place the solar panel vertically or horizontally depending on how you position the support on the back of the panel. Connect the black cable to the black input jack on the solar cell, and the red cable to the red input jack on the solar cell.

Connect the other end of the cable to the input jack of the refueling station.

Switch the refueling station to the "☼" sign.

The small blue lights will now be flashing and you are now producing hydrogen fuel using unlimited power from the sun! You can see you are producing hydrogen when small oxygen bubbles form on the right side of the water tank. Turn the switch off and the hydrogen production will stop.

If it is getting dark, or if the sun is not very powerful, or if you want to accelerate refueling time,

you can at any time switch the refueling station to "DC". In this case hydrogen would be produced using the power of two AA alkaline

batteries (step 7).

Refueling and operation

Push all the air out of the syringe. Insert the gas purging syringe into the car’s input valve turning the syringe’s connector valve clockwise while gently pressing in.

To purge the complete fuel cell power system, remove all the air out of the balloon by pulling on the syringe. Stop pulling on the syringe once all the air is

removed from the balloon.

Disconnect the syringe connector valve from the additional input valve attached to the refueling station by turning it counterclockwise, allowing the connector to pop out. Your storage tank is now purged and ready to receive hydrogen from the refueling station.

Tips:

1.Use the first tank of hydrogen to purge out impure gas -- Fill the hydrogen tank and press the purging valve to release hydrogen completely.

2.Use the second tank of hydrogen to warm up the fuel cell -- Re-fill the hydrogen tank and warm up the fuel cell with this 2nd tank of hydrogen until the balloon is empty.

3.Run the car with the 3rd tank of Hydrogen

-- Re-fill the hydrogen tank and it’s time to run the car. Enjoy!

Remote control

Step 1: Use the screwdriver to open the cover of the battery compartment.

Step 2: Insert 3 new LR44 batteries with the correct polarity positions.

Step 3: Use the screwdriver to close the cover of the battery compartment.

Activation of fuel cell and operation

Connect the refueling station’s output valve to the car’s input valve turning

clockwise while gently pressing in.

Make sure the switch beneath the car's chassis is at the "off" position.

Using the solar panel, make sure it is placed in direct sunlight. It will take about 10 minutes in strong sunlight for the car's tank to fill up with hydrogen using the standard solar panel included. Keep the refueling station powered until the balloon inside the hydrogen storage cylinder is full. Once the operation is complete and the balloon is full, make sure you turn the refueling station to the "off" position.

Alternative: It will take at least 1 minute for the balloon to fill with hydrogen using the "DC" power switch if the batteries are new.

TIP: After 20 minutes of continuous use, turn the Hydrogen Station off, and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before starting it again.

WARNING: Continuous operation of the Hydrogen Station could damage it permanently.

Press the buttons on the remote control to

control forward and backward motions of the car. Press the right button to keep the car

moving forward. Press the button located in

the middle to keep the car moving backward. The car can turn when it moves backwards. If the car runs slowly or cannot run with a fully charged balloon, refer to the following step.

Turn the switch to “warm up” position. Leave the car until it fully consumes the hydrogen and activates the fuel cell. Turn the switch to the “off” position. Repeat refueling process again to fill storage container with hydrogen.

ON OFF WARM UP

It is estimated that on a full tank and after “warm up” the H-racer 2.0 will run up to several minutes. Once the operation is complete and the balloon is full, make sure you turn the hydrogen station to the “off” position.

Direction adjuster

To adjust the car’s movement and direction, or if the car doesn’t straight, turn the adjuster on the bottom of the chassis slightly to the left or right until the desired direction is achieved.
