Setup Instructions

1. Assembling Track Pieces

The magnetic tiles connect easily using their built-in magnets. Simply bring the edges of two tiles together, and they will snap into place. Experiment with different tile shapes to create various track layouts.

2. Attaching Support Columns and Ramps

To build multi-level tracks, use the support columns. Push the track tile piece vertically towards the stud on the support column, aligning the holes in the corners of the track tile piece with the studs. To disassemble, push the track tile piece up and away from the support column. Do not pull apart horizontally to prevent breakage.

3. Installing Batteries in Light-Up Cars

Each light-up race car requires 2 x AA batteries (not included). Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the car, open it, insert the batteries with correct polarity (+/-), and close the compartment securely. The cars will light up when switched on.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of your PicassoTiles set, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Wipe tiles and cars with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Do not submerge cars in water.
  • Storage: Store all pieces in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep small parts, especially the cars, in their designated storage areas to prevent loss.
  • Battery Care: Remove batteries from the light-up cars if they will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.

Troubleshooting

ProblemSolution
Light-up cars do not light up or move.
  • Ensure the power switch on the car is in the "ON" position.
  • Check if AA batteries are correctly installed with the correct polarity.
  • Replace old batteries with new ones.
Track pieces do not connect securely.
  • Ensure the magnetic edges are clean and free of debris.
