Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Booster not working or wheels not spinning. | Batteries are dead or incorrectly installed. | Check battery polarity and replace with fresh 'D' batteries. |
| Cars are not boosting effectively or getting stuck. | Incorrect speed setting, car type incompatibility, or track misalignment. | Ensure the speed switch is set to a higher speed (Speed 2). Use standard Hot Wheels cars; some wider or heavier cars may not fit or perform optimally. Check track connections for secure fit. |
| Booster is excessively loud. | Normal operation sound for motorized components. | Some noise is expected due to the motorized booster mechanism. Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the wheels. |
