Setup Instructions

The following steps detail how to install the Carrera Digital 124 Outside Shoulder pieces:

1. 1. Remove from Packaging: Carefully remove the edging strips from their packaging.
2. 2. Identify Track Sections: Locate the standard straight track sections on your Carrera racetrack where you intend to add the shoulders.
3. 3. Placement: Place the edging strips alongside the long straight tracks. They can also be positioned just before or after curves to help prevent cars from drifting off the track during high-speed maneuvers.

Operating Your Racetrack with Shoulders

The Outside Shoulder pieces are passive accessories designed to improve track stability and prevent cars from leaving the track on straight sections. Once installed, no special operation is required for the shoulders themselves. Continue to operate your Carrera Digital 124 slot cars as usual, enjoying the enhanced track experience.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Carrera Digital 124 Outside Shoulder pieces, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the surface of the shoulder pieces with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the connection points and the overall condition of the shoulders for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the shoulder pieces in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent warping or degradation of materials.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues related to the Outside Shoulder pieces, consider the following:

• Loose Connection: If a shoulder piece feels loose, gently re-attach it to the track section, ensuring the connectors are fully engaged.
• Car Derailment: While designed to prevent derailment, if cars are still coming off the track at sections with shoulders, check the track alignment and ensure the shoulders are flush with the track surface. Also, verify that the cars' guide keels are not worn or damaged.
• Damage: If a shoulder piece is visibly damaged (e.g., cracked or broken), it should be replaced to maintain optimal track performance and safety.
