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!
MAINTENANCE:
ADULTS NOTE: All “pro” racers know that their vehicles need mainte-
nance from time to time…for best performance. Follow these simple
steps to keep your car running at its best!

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 yellow hand controllers into the yellow
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!
