Cleaning
Wipe the engine and tunnel with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Do not immerse in water. Ensure all parts are dry before use.
Battery Replacement
When the engine's performance decreases or lights dim, it's time to replace the batteries. Follow the battery installation steps in the Setup section. Always use fresh AAA batteries.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Engine not moving or moving slowly. | Check if batteries are correctly installed and fully charged. Replace if necessary. Ensure the on/off switch is in the 'on' position. |
