Operating Instructions
Experience the Smash & Crash action with your assembled vehicles and course:
- Prepare the Vehicles: Ensure the micro figure drivers are seated in their respective vehicles.
- Initiate Movement: Place a vehicle on a flat surface. To activate the "pull and release" feature, pull the vehicle backward along the surface and then release it. The vehicle will propel forward.
- Engage in Smash & Crash: Aim the propelled vehicle towards the ramps and obstacles on the Chomp Course. Upon impact, the hood of the Monster Truck is designed to pop off, simulating a crash effect.
- Reset for More Action: After an impact, reattach the hood to the Monster Truck to prepare for the next smash and crash sequence.

Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and continued enjoyment of your building set:
- Cleaning: Wipe pieces with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store all pieces in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping or discoloration.
- Handling: Handle pieces gently during assembly and disassembly to prevent breakage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during assembly or play, consider the following:
- Pieces Not Fitting: Double-check the instruction manual's diagrams to ensure you are using the correct pieces and orienting them properly. Sometimes, a slight adjustment in angle or pressure is needed.
- Vehicle Not Moving Smoothly: Ensure the wheels are properly attached and free from any obstructions. The "pull and release" mechanism requires a smooth surface for optimal performance.
- Hood Not Detaching on Impact: Verify that the hood piece is correctly attached but not overly forced into place. The mechanism is designed for a specific level of impact to trigger detachment. Ensure the impact is direct and sufficient.
- Missing Pieces: In the rare event of missing pieces, please contact customer support with details of the missing component.
