Operating Instructions

Motorized Elevator Operation

The motorized elevator is a key feature, allowing for continuous marble flow. Once batteries are installed, switch on the elevator (if applicable, usually a small switch near the battery compartment). Place marbles into the designated entry point at the base of the elevator. The elevator will lift the marbles to the top of the run, where they will then descend through the tracks.

Using Glow-in-the-Dark Marbles

To activate the glow effect of the special marbles, expose them to a light source (natural sunlight or artificial light) for a few minutes. The longer they are exposed, the brighter and longer they will glow in the dark. Turn off the lights to observe the mesmerizing glowing effect as they travel through the run.
