Introduction
The Hot Wheels Dine & Dash Playset (Model FJN39) offers an engaging play experience for children aged 4-8 years.

Setup Instructions
The Hot Wheels Dine & Dash Playset is designed for easy assembly and quick setup. Follow these steps to prepare your playset for play:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Ensure you have the main playset unit and any included Hot Wheels vehicle.
- Unfold the Playset: The playset is designed to fold out. Gently extend the sections of the playset until it forms the full play area. Ensure all connecting points click securely into place.
- Attach Accessories: If any small accessories, such as the Hot Wheels sign or specific track pieces, are separate, attach them to their designated slots on the playset. Refer to the molded guides for correct placement.
- Connect to Other Tracks (Optional): The playset features connection points for other Hot Wheels track sets. Align the track connectors and push firmly to create an extended play environment.

Operating the Playset
Once assembled, the Hot Wheels Dine & Dash Playset offers several interactive features for dynamic play:
- Drive-Through Action: Place a Hot Wheels vehicle at the entrance of the drive-through. Push the car through the designated path to activate internal mechanisms.
- Burger Flipping Feature: As the car progresses through the playset, it can trigger the 'burger flipping' action. This involves a mechanism that launches a burger-shaped disc into the air.
- Ramp Exit: After navigating the drive-through and activating features, the vehicle will exit via a ramp, ready for further adventures or connection to other track sets.
- Vehicle Compatibility: Use standard Hot Wheels vehicles for optimal performance. Larger or non-standard vehicles may not function correctly with all playset features.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Hot Wheels Dine & Dash Playset, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the playset with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the plastic.

- Inspection: Periodically inspect the playset for any loose or damaged parts. If any components are broken, discontinue use and contact customer support for assistance.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Hot Wheels Dine & Dash Playset, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Car Not Moving Smoothly: Ensure the track sections are properly connected and free of obstructions. Check that the Hot Wheels vehicle being used is compatible and not too wide or heavy for the track.
- Burger Flipping Mechanism Not Activating: Verify that the vehicle is passing over the activation point correctly and with sufficient momentum. Ensure no debris is blocking the mechanism.
- Playset Not Folding/Unfolding Correctly: Check for any misaligned parts or obstructions preventing the playset from folding or unfolding smoothly. Do not force the components.
