Step 8Take Your Toy Out Side and PLAY!
Play With Your New Toy!
Do you really need to be told to do this?...Well If you are the one who didn't have the Duct Tape, I am telling you now.
If it is daylight put your truck in direct sunlight so it can charge. Now get in your car and go to a garden center and pick out a nice potted plant that will fit in the dump bed.
Put it all together and find a nice spot on your walkway or even in your garden. Make sure your going to get enough sun to charge your batteries and nourish your plant.
It may take you some time to find the right spot but hey,this is serious work that must be done with care. Just try not to make engine noises when moving it around. Beeping for backing up is OK.
TROUBLE?
If you have trouble getting anything to work check your polarity.
- LEDs will only work in one (polarity) way.That is what they do even the type that do not emit light.
-Solar Cells have polarity and if you are lost put one to a multi meeter.
-Power can be tested at all connections with your multi meeter.
In this model of solar light the Solar Cell acts as the electric eye light sensor so when the sun goes down it will switch from charge to discharge. Other models may have a separate light sensor.
Enjoy
Please take and post some photos of your completed projects!
I am already working on other models and after discovering the NEW trucks I may just have to pick up a Firetruck and plumb it for the bird bath. The Crane is mighty tempting as well.
