Setup Instructions

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Ensure all listed components are present.
2. Plan Your Track: Before placing dominoes, plan the layout of your track. Consider where to place the staircase grid start, speed sections, 360-degree loops, and the ring of fire.
3. Assemble Start Grid: Connect the staircase grid start section. This is where the domino race cars will begin.
4. Place Dominoes: Stand the dominoes upright, ensuring they are close enough to each other to fall sequentially but not so close that they fall prematurely. Use the easy setup sections to help align them.
5. Integrate Special Features:
   • 360-Degree Loops: Assemble the loop sections and integrate them into your track. Ensure the entry and exit points align with the dominoes.
   • Speed Sections: Place these sections to create faster domino falls or car movements.
   • Ball Dropper: Position the ball dropper to release a ball at a specific point in your track, triggering more dominoes or an action.
   • Ring of Fire: Place the ring of fire accessory. Ensure the race cars can pass through it safely.
6. Position Race Cars: Place the two domino race cars at their designated starting points, typically at the staircase grid start or at points designed to be triggered by falling dominoes.
7. Final Check: Review your entire track for any gaps or misalignments that might prevent a smooth domino fall.

Operating Instructions

Once your track is set up, operating the Domino Express Duel is simple:

1. Initiate the Chain Reaction: Gently push the first domino in your sequence to start the chain reaction.
2. Observe the Race: Watch as the dominoes fall, triggering the race cars and other special features like the 360-degree loops and the ball dropper.
3. Head-to-Head Duel: If you have designed a duel track, observe which race car completes its course first.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of your Domino Express Duel set, follow these simple maintenance tips:

• Cleaning: Wipe all plastic components with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the set in its original packaging or a suitable container to prevent loss of small parts and protect them from dust and damage.
• Handling: Handle dominoes and track pieces carefully to prevent bending or breaking.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Domino Express Duel, consider the following:

• Dominoes Not Falling: Check the spacing between dominoes. They might be too far apart or misaligned. Ensure they are standing perfectly upright.
• Race Cars Not Moving: Ensure the track leading to the race car launcher is correctly set up and that the dominoes are making proper contact to trigger the cars. Check for any obstructions on the car's path.
• Features Not Activating: Verify that all connections for loops, ball droppers, and other features are secure and correctly aligned with the domino path.
• Missing Parts: Double-check the packaging and play area. If parts are genuinely missing, contact customer support.
