• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and

recommended type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types

of batteries.

• If you do not plan to use your truck for a week

or more, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak
chemicals that may destroy electronic parts.

• Be sure the battery pack’s connectors and wires do

not touch any of truck’s moving parts.

• After charging the battery pack, disconnect it from

the charger. Overcharging could damage it.

• When you disconnect the battery pack from the

charger, do not pull on the connector’s wires. You
might damage the battery pack.

• Dispose of batteries promptly and properly. Do not
burn or bury them.

• Driving your truck for long periods of time generates
heat, and causes wear and tear on the motor. To
keep heat levels down, let your truck cool for 10
minutes before installing a new battery pack.

• To drive for extended periods, buy an extra battery
pack, and charge it while using the other one.

• If the truck moves slowly or not at all, and you
have installed a fresh battery pack, check the wheel

mechanisms for lint, hair, dust or thread.

• Your truck comes in three frequencies so you and
your friends can play together. If you race other
cars, set your truck and transmitter to a different
frequency than your friend’s.

• If someone uses a CB nearby, it might interfere
with control of your Mattrack. If this happens,
move your Mattrack away from the CB.

Do not touch the tires or the steering control
during adjustment.

1. Turn the truck on its side so its tires do not
touch the ground.

2. Turn on the transmitter and truck. If the tires
move, turn Trim I until the tires stop.

3. If the front tires look angled to the left
or right, adjust Trim II until the tires look
straight.

Trim I — adjust so the truck stops completely
when you release the trigger. If Trim I is set
too far right, your truck may continue to drive
forward after you release the trigger.

Trim II — adjust your alignment to drive in a
straight line. If set too far to the left or right, the
truck may veer left or right while driving.

If the truck does not drive in a straight line,
adjust the wheel alignment. If it pulls to the
right, slide the control toward L. If it pulls to the
left, slide the control toward R.
