Operating Instructions
1. Hauler Mode:
In its primary hauler configuration, the T-Rex Transporter functions as a large vehicle carrier. Roll the hauler forward to activate its "eating" mechanism, allowing it to pick up 1:64 scale Hot Wheels cars in its path. The internal compartments can store over 20 vehicles.

2. T-Rex Transformation & Race Track Mode:
To transform the hauler into a stomping T-Rex with a race track, simply pull back the tail. The hauler will articulate upwards, revealing the dinosaur's upright stance and activating lights and sounds. The back of the T-Rex forms a two-lane race track.
- Transformation: Pull the tail of the hauler upwards and backwards until the T-Rex stands upright.
- Race Track: Place two 1:64 scale Hot Wheels cars at the starting gates on the T-Rex's back. Launch them simultaneously to race down the two lanes. The winning car continues, while the second-place car is "pooped" out of the dino's rear.
- Car Launch: Press the lever near the T-Rex's mouth to launch cars forward, simulating the dino spitting them out.
