Using this Hot Wheels Vertical - 8 Jump playset is easy. First, decide which path you want your car to take by flipping the manual selector. Then, load the included Hot Wheels car into the slam launcher. Give it a good push to send the car up the tall track. The car will either go through the winding figure 8 or the U - shaped track with stunt jumps and land in the catch cup. When you're done playing, collapse the set for convenient storage. If you want to expand the fun, use the track connectors to link it to other Hot Wheels sets. Just remember that additional sets are sold separately. As for maintenance, keep the set clean by wiping it with a dry cloth. Avoid getting it wet as it may damage the launcher or the track. Also, make sure small children don't put the car or any small parts in their mouths.
