10. Trouble Running the Train
• If the train does not run, check to make sure
that the rechargeable battery for the train is
charged up. If necessary, charge up the rechar-
geable battery for the train. If the rechargeable
battery for the train is charged up and the train
still does not react, check the batteries for the
remote controller. If necessary, replace the
batteries for the remote controller.
• If the train runs noticeably slower or comes
to halt while you are playing with it, charge up
the rechargeable battery. Pay attention to the
automatic shutoff time! (See section 9)
• If the train is damaged, it may not be used
anymore. If another car or powered car is
damaged, take it out of the train and do not use
it anymore.
• If the range of the remote controller decreases,
then the batteries for the remote controller
need to be replaced.
11. Cleaning and Maintenance
• Check to see if hair or dirt gets on the axles on
the train and remove this hair or dirt from the
axles with the help of a pair or tweezers so that
the train runs correctly.
• The train can be wiped with a dry, lint-free cloth.
• Recharge the battery no later than 6 months
after not being used in order to avoid deep
discharge. Deep discharges damage the battery,
reduce the performance, and shorten the possi-
ble running time for the unit.
• The traction tire on the powered axle can
be replaced if necessary. The traction tire is
available under item number E284 219.

12. Disposing
(only EU)
Products marked with a trash
container with a line through it may
not be disposed of at the end of their
useful life in the normal household
trash. They must be taken to a
collection point for the recycling of
electrical and electronic devices. There is a
symbol on the product, the operating instructions,
or the packaging to this effect. The materials in
these items can be used again according to this
marking. By reusing old devices, materially
recycling, or recycling in some other form of old
devices such as these you make an important
contribution to the protection of our environment.
Please ask your city, town, community, or county
authorities for the location of the appropriate
disposal site.
Batteries Do Not Belong in the
Household Trash! Every user in the
EC area is legally obligated to turn in
batteries at a collection point in his
community or at a dealer. The
batteries are then disposed of appropriately in
order to protect the environment. Batteries contai-
ning dangerous materials are marked with this
symbol and with chemical symbols (Cd =
Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb = Lead).
