TROUBLE SHOOTING HINTS - (1) DO BOTH CARS FAIL TO START AT FULL SPEED ON CONTROL DIAL OF REVERSING TYPE OR WITH FULLY DEPRESSED BUTTON ON RACING TYPE? Make sure switch is on. Check plug in 1110V AC outlet. Are you sure 110V has power? Check with table lamp. (2) HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR SPEED CONTROL SWITCH POSITION? Speed control switch must be in full FORWARD or REVERSE position. Be sure that you stripped enough insulation from the wire. All screws must be tight. (3) IS THE WIRING CORRECT? Sets must be wired according to diagram on pages 6 or 7 of instruction manual for operation. (page 08)

Otherwise the dirt on the conductor rails will stop the cars pickup shoes from contacting the rail, and they will not run. (6) DOES THE CAR RUN NOISY OR SLOW? Try cleaning... Remove TOP PLATE of car... clean commutator, remove all dust, lint or foreign matter... and reoil. or oiling CAUTION: Do not over-oil, or maybe it needs wheel adjustment Hubs could be binding on chassis or tires rubbing against body.
