Hot Wheels Battleslam Installation guide

4To disconnect track pieces, sim-
ply reach underneath where the
track pieces meet and press the
locking tabs together with thumb
and forefinger as shown.
5 Guardrails help keep your
car from spinning off on
curves. They also add sup-
port for long "overpasses."
Refer to the Track Layout for
location of guardrails. To
attach guardrails, carefully
attach the bottom of the
guardrail first. Then pull up
and snap into place. Don’t
force guardrails into place.
6Your track layout includes
several specially designed
track supports. Refer to the
Track Layout for location of
track supports. To assemble
the track supports, separate
pieces as shown and remove
connectors. Next, fit the two
pieces together as shown.
I. GENERAL INFO
READ THIS FIRST
• First, unfold these instructions, so you can see all four
pages at the same time. These four pages tell you the
"basics" of track assembly, power connection and
maintenance.
• Second, turn these instructions over for detailed, step-
by-step assembly instructions.
A. ASSEMBLE YOUR TRACK
1Start out on a clean, hard, flat racing surface –not carpet-
ing. Spread out all the track pieces (and other parts) and
check them against the contents list inside.
2Follow the letters molded into each track piece –it’s easy!
Following the Track Layout inside, first lay out your track –
without connecting any track pieces. That way you’ll be able
to see how the track layout goes together.
3To connect track pieces:
working on the flat surface,
push the ends of the track
pieces together. Make sure
they snap together securely
–you’ll hear a click when
they’re properly connected.
Remember: if the track con-
nections aren’t right, electric
power won’t flow from one track section to the next.

CAUTION - ELECTRIC TOY:
NOTRECOMMENDEDFORCHILDRENUNDER8YEARSOF
AGE. AS WITH ALL ELECTRIC PRODUCTS, PRECAUTIONS
SHOULD BE OBSERVED DURING HANDLING AND USE TO
PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK. MODEL B615RG:
INPUT: 120VAC, 60Hz, OUTPUT: 15.0VDC, 500mA.

1Plug the Power Pack into a convenient wall outlet.
2The cables for the Power 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.
3To test track and power con-
nections, hold a car on the track
with its metal contacts touching
the metal track rails. Hold the front
end of the car down while lifting
the rear tires. Squeeze the hand
controller: the car’s tires should
spin. If they don’t, there’s a con-
nection problem. Carefully check
the track and power connections.
4Your 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!

II. MAINTENANCE
All “pro” racers know that their vehicles need
maintenance from time to time…for best perform-
ance. Follow these simple steps to keep your car
running at its best!

of your vehicle, and how they go together.

B. CLEANING TRACK
Clean track is IMPORTANT for best performance!
1Dirty track may cause your vehicle to stall. Usually you can
get it going again with a slight push. After 3-4 laps your vehi-
cle will run properly.
2Sometimes oxidation may form on the track rails, and this
may cause your car to stall. If this happens, you’ll have to
remove the oxidation. Using the supplied sandpaper,
GENTLY rub the track rails. Don’t rub hard –rails are clean
when they’re shiny. After cleaning, wipe the track with a soft,
clean, lint-free cloth to remove any residue (don’t use tissue
or paper towels).
NEVER use steel wool to clean your track: severe
damage can result if a fiber of steel wool is
picked up by the magnets in your car’s motor. Use
only very fine sandpaper for cleaning.

5CHECKING CONTACTS
Your race set is specially designed for cool crashes and colli-
sions. After each impact, check to make sure the con-
tacts are springing back properly when pushed. Adjust
contacts if necessary (see “Contact Replacement,”below).
6CLEANING CONTACTS
Regularly clean your car’s
contacts to remove oxidation.
Using a pencil eraser, as shown,
carefully scrub the contacts. Do
not apply too much pressure, or
you may bend contacts.
DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL.
Worn-out contacts can be
replaced; please call the
toll-free number for informa-
tion.
7CONTACT REPLACEMENT
Your vehicle’s contacts should last a minimum of 8-10 total
hours of racing, with regular cleaning. You may need to
replace the contacts if they become overly worn or bent.
The best way to replace contacts is one at a
time, using the remaining contact assembly as a
guide.
aHold chassis bottom side
up. Hold the spring as shown
(with your thumb on one side
of the chassis and your fore-
finger on the other). You’ll
need to hold the spring
securely throughout the
assembly process.
bHook the narrow end of
the contact under the motor
shaft. Hook the curved side
tab of the contact over the
spring; the spring will be
held in place by the curved
tab. Snap the wide (slotted)
end of the contact into
place, with the chassis tab
through the slot.
cStill holding the spring
securely, turn the chassis
over. You may need to press
the top of the contact into
place with the tip of a pencil.
When properly installed, the
contact will spring back
when pushed.
C. OTHER MAINTENANCE
Check out these other important
maintenance tips!
1CLEANING TIRES
Dirty tires can cause your car to
lose traction and spin. To clean
the tires, place a piece of adhe-
sive tape on a hard, flat surface,
with the sticky side facing up.
Roll the rear tires across the
tape until they’re clean.
2CLEANING AXLE
Lint may collect around your car’s
axles: this may cause the car to run
slowly. Use tweezers or a toothpick
to remove lint as shown.
3AXLE ALIGNMENT
Your car’s axle assembly may become
“dislocated”from the chassis as a
result of a sudden impact. To realign
it, snap the assembly back into
the chassis. (If you put the rear axle in
backwards, your vehicle will run in
reverse.)
DO NOT use any type of tool to
snap the chassis back in place.
Use only your fingers.
4CHASSIS ALIGNMENT
Occasionally check the position of the
car’s body to make sure it is properly
aligned and not rubbing against the
tires. If necessary, carefully snap chas-
sis back onto the body tabs, as shown.

III. TIPS & HINTS
Here are some “inside”racing tips…for top
performance and the fastest lap times!
1Always race on a clean, hard, flat surface. For best racing
performance, we don’t recommend carpeting.
2Clean track is IMPORTANT for best performance! Please
refer to the Maintenance section (page 2) for detailed
instructions for cleaning the track.
3Races are won in the curves! Slow down going into the
curves…then speed up coming out of them.
4Anyone 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.”
5In addition to competing against your friends, you can
always practice your skills with a few hot laps against the
clock. Set your own “course records”–then try to break
them!
6Experienced racers know that regular maintenance is
the key to top racing performance. Read and follow the easy
steps in the Maintenance section (page 2).
7If you have questions or difficulty operating your Race Set,
check the Troubleshooting Chart first. Usually a quick “pit
stop”will get you racing again!
A TRACK CLEANING REQUIRED. You may need to clean
the track. Follow the steps in the Maintenance section
(page 2).
B VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED. You may need to
clean your vehicle’s tires, axle or contacts. Follow the
steps in the Maintenance section (page 3), Numbers 1-
3.
C CHECK CONNECTIONS. Check to make sure track
pieces are properly connected –and power connection
is correct. Refer to the “Power Connection”section
(page 2).
D CHECK ALIGNMENT. Check to make sure your vehicle
is properly aligned. Refer to the “Power Connection”
section (page 2).
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 3 years old.
This toy must be used only with the recommended
transformer. The transformer is not a toy.
