IV. CHANGE THE WHEELS…
Your Speed Wrench™vehicle
is 3 cool vehicles in 1! Here’s
how to use the exclusive
Speed Wrench™Transmitter
to transform your vehicle.
❶Before removing or attach-
ing wheels, make sure
your vehicle is turned OFF.
Flip the Selector Switch on
the top of the transmitter to
the power tool mode.
❷To attach a wheel, place
the wheel onto the vehicle
axle. Now fit the socket
over the wheel hub nut and
pull the Trigger Control to
tighten the wheel. Listen
for the cool “ratcheting”
sound as the socket turns!
When the transmitter
shakes in your hand, and
the clutch begins to slip
(just like a real ratcheting
power wrench), the wheel
is fully tightened.
❸To remove a wheel, fit the
socket over the wheel hub
nut and push the Trigger
Control forward to loosen
the wheel.
❹Once you’ve attached the
wheels, flip the Selector
Switch to transmitter
mode. Turn your vehicle
ON.
