- Connect one end of an orange track piece to the input side of the booster unit. Ensure it clicks securely into place.

Operating Instructions
Once the booster is set up and integrated into your track, operating it is simple:
- Ensure the booster's power switch (if present, typically on the side or bottom) is in the "ON" position. You should hear the motor spinning.
- Place a Hot Wheels vehicle on the track leading into the booster.
- Gently push the car forward until the booster's wheels engage with the car. The booster will then propel the car forward at high speed.
- Experiment with different Hot Wheels cars. Some cars may perform better than others due to their size and weight. The included car is optimized for this booster.
