Operating Instructions
The Hot Wheels Sky Crash Tower is designed for continuous action and epic crashes. Follow these steps for optimal play:
- Power On: Ensure batteries are installed and turn on the motorized booster using the power switch. You will hear the booster motor running.
- Car Selection: For best performance, use lighter-weight, flat racing-style Hot Wheels cars. Cars labeled "BEST FOR TRACK" or "TRACK STARS" are generally most suitable. Avoid cars with protruding wheels or irregular shapes, as they may not perform consistently on the track.
