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!
