BATTERY INFORMATION

Caution: To Avoid Battery Leakage

• Be sure to insert the batteries correctly and always

follow the toy and battery manufacturers’ instructions.

• Do not mix old and new batteries or alkaline, standard

(carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries. Only batteries of the same or equivalent type recommended should be used.

Important Tips

• Alkaline batteries C (LR14) are recommended.

• Remove rechargeable batteries from toy before

charging; they must be charged only under adult supervision.

• Non-rechargeable batteries must not be recharged.

• Keep components free of dust; do not immerse

• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire; they could leak

or explode and cause injury.

• Remove all batteries if the toy will not be used for

a long period of time.

• Do not put rods smaller than 2 inches in any openings

of the motor; they will damage the motor, and cannot be removed.

BUILDING BASICS

Motor

Connectors

There are blue and gray connectors with special long slots.

They slide together as you see in the pictures. Push these

parts together until you hear a “click.”

To begin your model, find the and follow

the numbers. Each piece has its own shape

and color. Just look at the pictures, find the

pieces in your set that match and then

connect them together. Try to face your model

in the same direction as the instructions while

you build. Faded colors show you this section

is already built. You’ll want to connect the new

section to the place where the arrows are

pointing.

Track

Car will go in the direction of the arrows on top of the motor.

Always wait a few seconds after turning the motor on before

gently pushing the car towards the motor.
