Gravity Rover Vehicle USB-C charging cable Remote Control Safety Cage (installed on Gravity Rover) Replacement blades x 4

Battery Installation
The vehicle requires 1 3.7V 550mAh rechargeable lithium battery (included) and the remote requires 4 AA 1.5V batteries (not included). Use a Phillips head or Cross screwdriver to loosen the screw securing the battery cover on the bottom of the remote. Insert the batteries, ensuring the correct polarity. Replace the battery cover and tighten the screw.

To charge the Gravity Rover, insert the USB-C cable (included) into the port on the vehicle. Insert the other end into an AC watt adapter (not included). The battery takes approximately 100 minutes to charge fully. The red indicator light on the bottom of the rover will turn off when fully charged.

PLAY

1. Turn the power knob on the remote clockwise and flip the power switch on the vehicle to ON. The remote pair light and orange vehicle lights will pulse. They will turn solid when paired. Note: Do not touch the rover while its blades are spinning.
2. Control the vehicle using the remote control pads. The left pad controls the left wheels and the right pad controls the right wheels. Push both pads up to go forward and down to go backward.
3. When ready to climb the wall, engage the Gravity Drive by pressing and holding the button on the remote down for 2 seconds. The blades will begin rotating. You can now climb on the walls or ceiling.
4. To turn off the Gravity Drive, press and hold the button on the remote down for 2 seconds. Make sure the vehicle is on the ground before avoiding the vehicle falling and becoming damaged.
5. In the event of an emergency, the Gravity Drive can be disengaged immediately by double-tapping the Gravity Drive ON/OFF button.
6. When the battery is low, the Gravity Rover and remote lights will flash and the remote will beep. Drive the vehicle to ground level to avoid unnecessary damage caused by a fall from the ceiling or walls.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. If your vehicle is having trouble climbing or maneuvering on the walls or ceiling after a full charge, your tires could be cleaned to improve traction. Wipe your tires with a slightly damp soft cloth to remove surface dust and dirt.
2. Inspect the rotors before play and remove or untangle any obstructions.
3. If your Gravity Rover is malfunctioning due to a crash or fall, please follow these tips to restore your vehicle to working condition:

|
---|---
A. The small gear between the wheels may gear back into place so the gear teeth mesh with the wheel gear teeth.| B. If the tires come loose or off, you can come out of alignment. Carefully press the reinstall them onto the wheels.
|
C. The gear connecting rod can become deformed. It is flexible and can be gently shaped back into place.| D. The blades can become stuck in the Gravity Rover shell openings. As the blades and shell are flexible, the shell can be gently flexed outward to free the blade from rotation.”

E. The blades can sometimes become damaged at the ends which can impact the performance. If your blades look chipped, bent, or broken, you can replace them with the replacement blades included. First, turn off the Rover by flipping the switch on the bottom of the unit. Next, remove the safety cage. Then, remove the damaged blades by pulling them at the center directly away from the bottom of the unit, gripping the blade with a pair of pliers, until it comes off the motor stem. Replace the front blade (closest to the orange screen) with the blade marked “A” and the back blade (closest to the SI 77 logo) with the blade marked “B”. Push the blade down onto the motor stem until they are firmly attached. Finally, replace the safety cage before operation.
