- 1 x Motorized Elevator Unit
Note: Marble run tracks and marbles are sold separately and are not included with this motorized elevator unit.
4. Setup
Follow these steps to set up your Motorized Elevator:
- Battery Installation: Locate the battery compartment on the motorized elevator unit. Open the compartment cover, insert the required batteries (typically AA or AAA, not included) according to the polarity indicators (+/-). Close the battery compartment securely.
- Integration with Marble Run: Position the motorized elevator within your existing marble run structure. Ensure it is placed on a stable, flat surface. The elevator should be positioned so that marbles can easily enter its base and exit at the top onto another track segment.
- Secure Connection: Connect the entry and exit points of the elevator to your marble run tracks. Ensure connections are firm to prevent marbles from falling out during transport.

5. Operating Instructions
Once the motorized elevator is set up and integrated into your marble run:
- Power On: Locate the power switch on the unit (if present). Flip the switch to the 'ON' position. You should hear a low hum, indicating the motor is active.
- Insert Marbles: Place marbles into the designated entry point at the base of the elevator. The elevator mechanism will automatically pick up the marbles and transport them upwards.
- Observe Operation: Watch as the marbles are lifted and released onto the next section of your marble run. Ensure the flow is smooth and uninterrupted.
- Power Off: When finished playing, flip the power switch to the 'OFF' position to conserve battery life.
6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your motorized elevator:
- Cleaning: Wipe the unit with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use water or cleaning solutions, as this may damage the electronic components.
- Battery Replacement: When the elevator's performance diminishes (e.g., slower lifting, weaker motor sound), it's time to replace the batteries. Refer to the 'Battery Installation' step in the Setup section.
- Storage: Store the elevator in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your motorized elevator, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

|---|---|---|
| Elevator does not turn on. | Batteries are dead or incorrectly installed. | Check battery polarity and replace with fresh batteries. Ensure the power switch is in the 'ON' position. |
