Following are drawings and instructions on how to set up the Domino Rally stunts that are included in this set. To help you put the stunts together for the first time, it's a good idea to have an adult assemble them with you. Don't forget to try out each stunt before you create your own patterns-so that you can see how they work.

Suggestions:

Set up your dominoes on a smooth, level surface
Leave about 1/2 inch between each regular domino-or 1 domino width. This is how far apart the dominoes need to be to knock each other down when in a straight line.
When arranging your regular dominoes in curves, you will have to put them a little closer together.
When setting up regular dominoes, try setting them up in groups of 10, then leave some space and set up another group. When you're almost done with the design, fill the spaces in between. That way, if you accidentally knock a domino down during set up, all the dominoes in your design won't be knocked over.

PIVOT DOMINO TRACK ASSEMBLY.
Note: Read carefully BEFORE assembling.

There are two sides to the pivot dominoes: a flat side and a hollow side. When inserted into the pivot domino tracks, the pivot dominoes will fall flat side down. Be sure that all pivot dominoes on each track face the same way.

To insert the pivot dominoes- into the pivot domino tracks, put one pivot post into the pivot hole on the track. Then press down gently and the other pivot post will snap into the pivot hole on the opposite side of the track.
Once the pivot dominoes have been inserted into the pivot tracks, DO NOT REMOVE THEM.
Note: We have included a few extra pivot dominoes in case of assembly error.

ASSEMBLING YOUR STUNTS.
Please refer to the accompanying illustrations when assembling stunts. Make sure assembled stunts work properly BEFORE adding them to your layout.
Rocket Launcher:
Place the label on the rocket body as shown in the picture on the box lid. Gently put the rocket body into the rocket base as shown in Figure 1, making sure the rocket body is seated in the base as far as it will go. Set the rocket aside for now.

Tower Frame Assembly
You will need Bags 54 and 56 to put the tower frame together.
1. Place the triangle labels on the top three spaces on both sides of tower frame halves.
2. Insert the latch posts into the notches of the slide (Figure 1).
3. Place the lower tower frame half (with 3 posts) on a flat surface as shown in Figure 2.

4. Slide the numbered signs onto the three posts in the order: 3, 2, 1 from top to bottom as shown in Figure 2.
5. Hold the slide and latch sideways (Figure 2) and lower the slide onto the lower half of the frame, making sure posts "A" on the bottom side of the slide go into slot "B". Check to see that the slide moves freely (slides up and down) in the lower frame.
6. Move the slide all the way in the direction of the arrows (towards the top of the frame).
7. Holding the top half of the tower frame at an angle, position it over the lower half and slide tab "C" into notch "D" as shown in Figure 2.
8. Press down the bottom of the top half of the tower frame so post "E" slides into the locating hole as shown in Figure 2.
Put completed assembly aside temporarily.

Launchpad Assembly
You will need the remaining parts from bags 54 and 56 to finish the launchpad.
1. Place the launchpad upside down on a flat surface. With the trigger button positioned as shown in Figure 3, slide the trigger button end through the launchpad opening and rest the posts onto the notches.
2. Position the leaf spring as shown in Figure 3 and slip the notch at the end of the leaf spring under the retaining tab on the base. Lower the other end of the leaf spring to the tab. Press down and snap the lock into place as shown in drawing E.
3. To install the levers, turn the launchpad right side up. Position the lever as shown in drawing F, Figure 4. Insert the long post first into the notch. Then press down gently so that the short post goes into the other notch. After both posts are locked into place, the lever should move up and down freely. Insert the two remaining levers into the two other notches on the launchpad.
4. Take the assembled tower (holding the two halves together at the bottom) and hold it over the notches in the launchpad (Figure 4). Make sure the flags (3, 2, 1) on the lower frame face the forward end of the launchpad.

5. Place the four locking tabs into the four notches and push down firmly until all tabs are locked into place.
6. Place the rocket over the launchpad as shown in Figure 4 with the locking notch (square hole in the base of the rocket) facing toward the forward end of the launchpad. Push the rocket firmly into the launchpad base until you feel it lock into
place.
Note: Before removing your hand from the rocket, make sure it is firmly locked into place.
7. Raise the three levers up and rest them against the rocket fins (Figure 5).

To Operate the Rocket Launcher:
1. Carefully hold the steel ball in the top of the frame as shown in Figure 5.
2. Holding the steel ball in place with one hand, gently raise the slide lever up with your other hand and put it back towards you so that it stays locked in the "up" position. Gently let go of the steel ball. The raised slide lever will now hold it in place.
3. When the last domino in the lead row falls against the slide lever (latch), the steel ball is released and falls down inside the lower frame, setting off the flags in order: 3, 2, 1. The steel ball then hits the trigger button and launches the rocket. When the rocket is launched, the three levers are thrown outward by the rocket fins-setting off rows of tumbling dominoes for more incredible fun and action!

Starburst:
1. Remove the five L-shaped operating triggers from the plastic frame.
2. The base of the Starburst is made up of two circular parts that snap together. Put the deeper of the two circles on a flat surface, open side up. Put the five triggers in position as shown. Pick up the circle and make sure the triggers swing freely in their slots.
Note: The deep cut out in the base is not used as a trigger position (Figure 6)- Put the deep circles back down on the flat surface.
3. Hold the operating lever so the "A" on ft handle is facing up. Place the operating lever in the circle so that the handle rests in the deep cut-out, it should also swing freely in the slot (Figure 7).
4. Now take the shallow circle and hold it flat side up over the assembly. The "A" on the shallow circle should be directly over the deep cut-out where the operating lever is resting. Make sure the prongs on the shallow circle are lined up with holes on the deep circle base and press down firmly to lock the two parts together. (Figure 8).
5. Turn the Starburst right side up and apply the Starburst label as shown in the picture on the box lid.

6. Line up a row of dominoes in front of the operating lever and each of the five operating triggers. When the lead domino hits the operating lever, it will release the triggers to tumble five rows of dominoes in five different directions!

THE BRIDGE:
Place regular dominoes on the steps and across the top of the Bridge for action that goes up, across and down! Put rows of dominoes beneath the bridge for a great multi-level look!
ZIG ZAG:
There are two sides of the pivot dominoes: a flat side and a hollow side. The flat side of the pivot dominoes should face up the stairs (Figure 9). The arrow shows you which way the dominoes should fall. To insert the pivot dominoes, put one pivot post into the pivot hole on the Zig Zag. Then press down gently and the other pivot post will snap into the pivot hole on the opposite side. Snap five pivot dominoes into the Zig Zag.

Note: Once the pivot dominoes have been inserted, DO NOT REMOVE THEM. We have included extra pivot dominoes in case of assembly error.
Tip the Zig Zag so the dominoes stand up. Put it down gently so the dominoes don't fall. There is an opening at the bottom of the Zig Zag where the marble comes out as shown in Figure 10. Place the marble in the groove to complete the set up.
