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. If your Gravity Rover is malfunctioning due to a crash or fall, please follow these tips to restore your vehicle to working condition:

   • The small gear between the wheels may come out of alignment. Carefully press the gear back into place so the gear teeth mesh with the wheel gear teeth.
   • If the tires come loose or off, you can reinstall them on to the wheels.
   • The gear connecting rod can became deformed. It is flexible and can be gently shaped back into place.
   • 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 to rotate.
   • 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 on to the motor stem until they are firmly attached. Finally, replace the safety cage before operation.
