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.
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!
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
white hand controllers into the white 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!
