1. Chassis Preparation: Begin by preparing the pre-cut wood chassis. Ensure all edges are smooth.
2. Gearbox Assembly: Assemble the gearbox according to the detailed instructions provided in the kit. This unit will house the motor and provide the two-speed transmission.
3. Fametrahana maotera: Securely attach the motor to the assembled gearbox. Ensure the motor's shaft aligns correctly with the gearbox input.
4. Gearbox and Motor Mounting: Mount the combined gearbox and motor unit onto the wooden chassis. Use the provided screws to fasten it firmly.
5. Battery Case Installation: Install the battery case onto the chassis. This case will hold two AA batteries (not included). Connect the battery case wires to the motor and switch as indicated in the wiring diagram.
6. Fametrahana fametrahana: Mount the power switch onto the chassis in an accessible location. Connect its wires to the battery case and motor.
7. Fivoriambe kodia: Assemble the sprocket wheels, idler wheels, and road wheels. The kit includes 10 road wheels (5 per side), 2 sprocket wheels (1 per side, driven by the gearbox), and 2 idler wheels (1 per side, at the front).
8. Fametrahana kodia: Attach the assembled wheels to the chassis. The sprocket wheels connect to the gearbox output shafts.
9. Fametrahana Track: Carefully fit the caterpillar tracks around the sprocket wheels, idler wheels, and road wheels. Ensure the tracks are taut but can move freely.

Note: Two AA batteries are required for operation and are not included in this kit.

Once assembly is complete, follow these steps to operate your tracked vehicle chassis:

1. Ampidiro ny bateria: Open the battery case and insert two fresh AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the battery case securely.
2. Herim-batana: Locate the power switch on the chassis and move it to the "ON" position. The motor should begin to drive the tracks.
3. Select Gear Mode: The gearbox offers two speed modes: Normal and Fast. Adjust the gear setting on the gearbox to select your desired speed. Refer to the gearbox assembly instructions for how to switch between modes.
4. Hetsika: The chassis will move forward. To change direction, you would typically need to reverse the motor's polarity or use a separate control unit (not included in this basic kit).
5. Mamono hery: When finished, move the power switch to the "OFF" position to conserve battery life.

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your tracked vehicle chassis:

• Fanadiovana: Keep the chassis and tracks free from dust, dirt, and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe surfaces. For tracks, remove any trapped particles.
• Fanamarinana bateria: Periodically check the batteries for signs of leakage or corrosion. Replace depleted batteries promptly. Remove batteries if the kit will not be used for an extended period.
• Fihenjanana Track: Ensure the tracks maintain appropriate tension. They should be snug enough to not slip but loose enough to move freely without excessive friction.
• Gearbox Inspection: Occasionally inspect the gearbox for smooth operation. If you notice unusual noises or resistance, check for foreign objects or misaligned gears.
• Fifandraisana: Verify that all electrical connections (motor, battery case, switch) are secure.
