3. Setup Instructions

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the transformer from its packaging.
2. Track Assembly: Ensure your Carrera GO!!! 1:43 scale slot car track is fully assembled and all track sections are securely connected. Refer to your slot car set's instruction manual for detailed track assembly.
3. Connect to Power Track: Locate the power track section of your Carrera GO!!! set. This section typically has ports for the controllers and a dedicated port for the transformer.
4. Insert Transformer Plug: Insert the rectangular connector of the Carrera 61537 transformer cable firmly into the designated power input port on the power track section.
5. Connect Controllers: Plug your slot car controllers into their respective ports on the power track.
6. Power On: Plug the transformer's two-prong plug into a standard, functional electrical outlet (120V AC, 60Hz for North America).
7. Verify Power: Once plugged in, the track should be ready to receive power. Some power tracks may have an indicator light.

Important: Always ensure the transformer is connected to the track and controllers before plugging it into the wall outlet. Disconnect from the wall outlet before disassembling the track or performing any maintenance.

4. Operating Your Slot Car Set

With the Carrera 61537 transformer connected, your Carrera GO!!! slot car set is ready for operation.

• Place Cars: Carefully place your slot cars onto the track, ensuring the guide pins are correctly seated in the track slots.
• Controller Use: Use the hand controllers to regulate the speed of your cars. Pressing the trigger increases speed, and releasing it reduces speed. Many Carrera GO!!! controllers also feature a "turbo" button for a temporary speed boost.
• Lap Counting: If your track set includes mechanical lap counters, ensure they are reset before starting a race. The cars will trigger the counter as they pass.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Keep the transformer unit clean and free from dust. Wipe with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• Storage: Store the transformer in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight, when not in use.
• Cable Care: Avoid kinking or sharply bending the power cable. Do not place heavy objects on the cable.
