VII TIPS& HINTS
• Always race on a clean, hard, flat
surface (not carpeting).
• Clean track is IMPORTANT for best
performance! [II, ]
• Races are won in the curves! Slow down
before curves.
• 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."
• Due to the speed and power of these vehi-
cles some radio interference may occur dur-
ing operation. You may need to find a differ-
ent location to race to avoid interference.
• All "pro" racers know that maintenance is
important. Read and follow Section V.
• If you have questions or difficulty, check the
Troubleshooting Chart first. Usually a quick
"pit stop" will get you racing again!
SPECIAL NOTE TO ADULTS:
Always make sure your Race Set is
unplugged before assembling or
disassembling track. Always unplug Power
Pack when not in use. Regularly examine for
damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and
other parts. In the event of any damage, this
toy must not be used with the transformer
until the damage has been repaired. Do not
connect to more than the recommended
number of power supplies. If this toy is being
operated in the presence of children under 8
years old, adult supervision is recommended.
This toy is not intended for children under 8
years old. This toy must be used only with the
recommended transformer. The transformer
is not a toy.
