FAQs

What age is the GraviTrax POWER Elevator suitable for?

The GraviTrax POWER Elevator is recommended for children aged 8 years and up.

Do I need batteries for the POWER Elevator?

Yes, the POWER Elevator requires 2 AAA batteries, which are not included with the product.

Is the POWER Elevator compatible with my existing GraviTrax set?

Yes, it is compatible with all GraviTrax starter sets, expansion sets, and action stones, including GraviTrax, GraviTrax PRO, and GraviTrax Power.

Can the Elevator transport more than one marble at a time?

Yes, the Elevator can transport up to 6 marbles simultaneously, allowing for continuous action in your marble run.

How do I ensure the Elevator works correctly?

Keep the sensor at the base of the elevator clean and free from dirt. Ensure the batteries are fresh and correctly installed. Place marbles on the first step to initiate transport.

Can I use the POWER Elevator on its own?

No, the POWER Elevator is an extension piece and must be used with a GraviTrax Starter Set or other GraviTrax components.

What makes this different from other GraviTrax extensions?

The POWER Elevator introduces automated vertical transport for marbles, adding a motorized element that increases complexity and height in the marble run design, unlike passive track pieces.

Troubleshooting

Elevator not moving marbles

Check that batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient power. Ensure the sensor at the base is clean and unobstructed. Verify the marble is positioned correctly on the first step.

Marble gets stuck in the elevator

Ensure the track sections connected to the elevator are properly aligned. Check for any debris within the elevator mechanism. Confirm that the marbles are standard GraviTrax marbles.

Elevator operates intermittently

Clean the sensor thoroughly. Replace batteries, even if they seem to have some power left. Ensure the elevator is placed on a stable, level surface.

Multiple marbles are not transported simultaneously as expected

Ensure marbles are released in sequence and the elevator has time to engage with each one. Check for any obstructions on the elevator stairs that might prevent smooth passage.
