Setup and Assembly
The ENGINO EB70 set allows for the construction of three distinct motorized racer models. Detailed step-by-step instructions for each model are provided in the separate printed guide included in your product box. The general assembly process involves connecting the plastic components with the wooden dowels to form the structural frame, then adding wheels and the motor unit.
Key Assembly Principles:
- Secure Connections: Ensure all plastic connectors are firmly attached to the wooden dowels and to each other. A click sound often indicates a secure connection.
- Motor Integration: The motor unit is designed to integrate seamlessly into the chassis of the models. Follow the specific instructions for each model to correctly position and connect the motor to the drive wheels.
- Battery Installation: Before operating, install 2 AA batteries into the motor unit, observing correct polarity.

Operating Instructions
Once your racer model is fully assembled and batteries are correctly installed in the motor unit:
- Power On: Locate the ON/OFF switch on the motor unit. Slide the switch to the 'ON' position to activate the motor.
- Movement: Place the assembled racer on a flat, smooth surface. The motor will drive the wheels, causing the model to move forward.
- Power Off: To stop the model, slide the ON/OFF switch to the 'OFF' position.
- Experimentation: Feel free to disassemble and reassemble different models to explore the various construction possibilities offered by the EB70 set.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the components, wipe them gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor unit in water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store all parts in the original packaging or a suitable container to prevent loss and damage. Keep the set in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Battery Care: Remove batteries from the motor unit if the toy will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
Troubleshooting
- Motor Not Working:
- Check if batteries are inserted correctly with the right polarity.
- Replace old or depleted batteries with new ones.
- Ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position.
- Verify that the motor is securely connected to the model and that no parts are obstructing its movement.
- Model Not Moving Smoothly:
- Check for any loose connections or misaligned parts.
- Ensure wheels are properly attached and can rotate freely without friction.
- Confirm the model is placed on a flat, even surface.
- Missing Parts: Refer to the 'Package Contents' section and the bill of materials image. If parts are genuinely missing, contact Engino customer support.
