ASSEMBLY GUIDE
To avoid the risk of property damage, serious injury or death:
Model No.: FCJJ-18
This kit should only be used by persons 12 years old and up, and only under the supervision of adults who
have familiarized themselves with the safety measures described in the kit. Keep small children and
animals away, as it contains small parts that could be swallowed. The fuel cell generates gases that are
very easily ignited. Read the instructions before use and have them ready for reference.
Warning
Battery operation instructions:
1. The removing and inserting of batteries is to be conducted by the adults only.
When inserting the batteries make sure that you are doing so with the correct polarity (the positive end of
the battery must match up with the “+” and the negative end of the battery must match up with the “-”
indicated on the battery pack) and then close the battery compartment.
2. Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
3. Different types of batteries such as rechargable, alkline and standard batteries or new and used batteries
are not to be mixed and should be used separately.
4. The two spare red&black cables are not to be inserted into an AC socket.
5. Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the battery compartment.

Slide the refueling input valve into its mount, located at the
opening on the side of the chassis. Make sure that the small
ridges on the outer edge of the input valve are positioned at the
sides. With a downward motion, click the valve into place
ensuring it is smoothly aligned with the outer surface of the
chassis.
Position the hydrogen storage cylinder onto the two mounts
located directly above the rectangular opening on the chassis.
Once the cylinder is positioned on the two mounts, press lightly
until it fits onto the structure. To avoid damage or breakage, be
careful not to press the cylinder onto the mounts with too much
force.
Connect the other end of refueling input valve tube to the
nozzle closest to the red jack of the fuel cell. Connect the other
end of the hydrogen storage cylinder’s tube onto the fuel cell
nozzle closest to the black jack.
Position the upper body of the car and place it
above the chassis. Align the holes on the chassis
with the holes on the car top body.
Use a screwdriver (not included) to attach the body
to the chassis using the set of 4 small screws and
make sure the screws are entered straight into the
chassis. Do not tighten the screws until all screws
are partially entered the screws until all screws are
partially entered until no gaps are left between the
body and the chassis.
Remove the H2sticker from its backing and position
it on the car accordingly.
The assembly of your H-racer is now
completed.

Position the fuel cell onto the square slot located in the middle of the
car chassis behind the black motor. Firmly push the front of the fuel cell
into the chassis until you hear a click.
Connect the red wire of the chassis to the red jack of the fuel cell.
Connect the black wire of the chassis to the black jack of the fuel cell.
Warning: Make sure these connections are correct. Any other
connection will destroy the operation of the car and its fuel cell
power system. Also ensure the wires are not touching the
wheels.
Connect one of the flexible tubes to the nozzle
located on the input valve.
Connect the second flexible tube to the nozzle
located on the lid of the hydrogen storage cylinder.

Refueling and operation
Push all the air out of the syringe. Insert the gas
purging syringe into the car’s input valve turning the
syringe’s connector valve clockwise while gently
pressing in.
Enabling DC powered operation:
Open the battery compartment located underneath the
refueling station by sliding the cover according to the arrow.
Place two 1.5V AA alkaline batteries inside the battery
compartment as indicated, then close the battery compart-
ment.
Switch the refueling station to the "☼" sign. The small blue
lights will now be flashing and you are now producing
hydrogen fuel using unlimited power from the sun! You can
see you are producing hydrogen when small oxygen bubbles
form on the right side of the water tank. Turn the switch off
and the hydrogen production will stop.
If it is getting dark, or if the
sun is not very powerful, or
if you want to accelerate
refueling time, you can at
any time switch the
refueling station to "DC". In
this case hydrogen would
be produced using the
power of two AA alkaline
batteries (not included)
placed earlier inside the
refueling station.

Creating Renewable Hydrogen Using Power
from the Sun.
Attach the back of the solar panel to its small
rectangular support provided in the kit. You can
decide to place the solar panel vertically or
horizontally depending on how you position the
support on the back of the panel. Connect the
black cable to the black input jack on the solar
cell, and the red cable to the red input jack on
the solar cell.
Connect the other end of the cable to the input
jack of the refueling station.
Place the solar panel in direct sunlight.
Warning: Make sure these connections are
correct. If connected incorrectly the
refueling station may not function
properly.
Slowly pour water into the water tank opening above
the refueling station until the water level reaches the
top. Let the water rest in the tank for at least 5
minutes before moving on to the next step. This
allows the electrolyzer time to absorb the water.
TIP: For optimal
operation and longer life
of the refueling station,
use of distilled water is
highly recommended.
You can purchase
distilled water from your
local drugstore or
pharmacy.

Connect the refueling station’s output valve to the car’s input valve turning clockwise while gently pressing in. Make
sure the switch beneath the car's chassis is at the "off" position.
Using the solar panel, make sure it is placed in direct sunlight. It will take about 10 minutes in strong sun light for the
car's tank to fill up with hydrogen using the standard solar panel included. Keep the refueling station powered until the
balloon inside the hydrogen storage cylinder is full. Once the operation is complete and the balloon is full, make sure
you turn the refueling station to the "off" position.
Alternative: It will take at least 1 minute for the balloon to fill with hydrogen using the "DC" power switch if the batteries
are new.
TIP: After 20 minutes of continuous use, turn the Hydrogen Station off, and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before
starting it again.
Warning: Continuous operation of the Hydrogen Station will damage it permanently.
The hydrogen storage tank is now full and the H-racer is ready to race! To run the car, find a smooth, flat surface free
of obstacles. Turn the switch located beneath the car's chassis to the "on" position, place it on the ground and watch
the car go!
It is estimated that on a full tank and after a number of warm-up runs the H-racer will run for up to 3 minutes.
To purge the complete
fuel cell power system,
remove all the air out of
the balloon by pulling on
the syringe. Stop pulling
on the syringe once all
the air is removed from
the balloon.
Disconnect the syringe
connector valve from the
additional input valve attached to the
refueling station by turning it anti-clockwise,
allowing the connector to pop out. Your storage
tank is now purged and ready to receive hydrogen
from the refueling station.

1. The H-racer does not move or runs slowly:
a. Check to see if the balloon inside the car's storage tank is full, the wires are not touching the wheels and
the switch underneath the car chassis is at the "on" position.
b. If the balloon is empty, you must complete refueling of the car then turn the switch to the "on" position.
c. If the hydrogen storage cylinder's inner balloon appears to be full, unwanted gases have entered your
system. The H-racer only operates on pure hydrogen drawn from its storage tank. One quick fix is to use the
tip of a screw driver to lightly push in the car’s refueling input valve, while leaving the car switched "on". You
will notice the car will start moving again. By doing this you would have removed some of the unwanted
gases from the balloon inside the hydrogen storage cylinder.
d. If the wires are touching the wheels move them away so the wheels run freely.
2. The balloon inside the car's storage tank does not fill up:
a. Check the rubber seal securing the balloon inside the cylinder has not become dislodged.
b. Make sure all the tubes inside the car are well connected and that the output valve of the refueling station
is well connected to the input valve of the car (press the output valve tightly into the input valve). You may
want to unplug and plug the connectors once more to be sure.
c. Make sure you filled the Hydrogen Station's water tank with water (distilled water*) and wait for 5 minutes
before turning it on. When it is switched on, check to see that the refueling station is releasing small bubbles
on the top left hand side of the water tank.
d. If all connections are correct and bubbles are released, and the balloon still does not fill up - your H-racer
refueling system is damaged due to improper use. Do not attempt to repair or fix your H-racer, contact
[email protected] for assistance.
3.The blue LED lights do not flash and/or no bubbles appear in the Hydrogen Station’s water tank:
a. If you are using solar panels, make sure the solar panel is in direct sunlight. The standard solar cell
included with the Hydrogen Station will fill the H-racer after at least 10 minutes in strong sunlight. Also,
check whether the cable connections are correct.
b. If you are using the "ON" battery power option and bubbles are appearing slowly the batteries may be out
of power. Please replace the alkaline batteries inside the Hydrogen Station with new alkaline batteries.
c. If the bubbles are appearing slowly or if there are no bubbles in the Hydrogen Station’s water tank, first
add water to the water tank filling it to the top and then position the tube connected to the syringe at the top
left outlet from the tubing where the bubbles should be released. Pull the inner container of the syringe
towards you. Empty the water in the syringe into the water tank. Repeat this step several times until you see
the bubbles come out from the top left outlet.
*Be careful not to use the refueling station continuously. Continuous use (over 20 minutes) will
damage the refueling station permanently. Turn off the refueling station immediately after the refuel-
ing of the H-racer is complete.
6. The H-racer runs slowly and runs for a short time, but the hydrogen storage cylinder is full of hydrogen:
a. The fuel cell needs to be warmed up by adding water and short circuiting. Use the syringe to inject 0.2 ml
purified water into the fuel cell. Allow this to sit for 3 minutes. Turn on the hydrogen station and connect the
rubber hose without the valve to one of the nozzle of the fuel cell. Use the wire to connect the red and black
jack on the fuel cell. Keep the wire connected for 2-5 minutes and then disconnect. The fuel cell will now be
ready for use.
b. After you have finished using the fuel cell, it is highly recommended to place it inside the air-sealed
aluminium bag provided. This will protect the fuel cell while you are not using the H-racer.
