and steering elements of vehicles. Model roads,
too, should always be kept free of dust and tyre
particles. Clean the vehicles using a soft dry cloth
and a soft dry paintbrush, or by softly blowing
air. Never use water or aggressive detergents.

lubricant with Teflon

, art. 170488. The parts
that need regular cleaning and lubrication are
the motor shaft and worm gear. Dispense with
lubricating the parts of the steering unit. To en-

Some superglue, a pair of tweezers, a precision

Charging batteries
Use the included charger to recharge the batter-
ies on the FALLER Car System vehicle. Run the
vehicle out of the carton until the battery is com-
pletely drained and fully recharge the battery.
Depending on the vehicle and battery the charg-
ing time will be approx. 8 – 10 hours. To charge
the vehicle simply plug the three-prong charger
plug into the charging socket at the vehicle’s un-
derside. The plug is designed to prevent faulty
polarisation.
