For Your Safety - Scientific Explorer Meteor Rocket Manual De Instrucciones

Attention!

For Your Safety

The Meteor Rocket™ should NEVER be operated without adult supervision.
WARNING:
Like all rockets, The Meteor Rocket™ will take off with a powerful launching thrust. You should
always observe the following rules for every launch and only those 9 and older should operate
The Meteor Rocket.™ Adult supervision is required. This is not a toy for young children!
Operating Safety Rules:
1. Please read all instructions and the science section of this booklet before you
begin assembling The Meteor Rocket™.
2. Do not use any fuel in The Meteor Rocket™ other than that specified in this booklet.
3. Never lean over the top of the rocket. Serious injury could result if the rocket
were to launch.
4. Never launch the rocket indoors. Launch outdoors where it will land in the
open or on the grass.
5. Never point The Meteor Rocket™ at people, animals, houses, cars, etc. Always launch The Meteor
Rocket™ from level ground.
6. After every launch, check to make sure that all of the parts are securely fastened and reconnect them
if necessary.
7. For maximum safety, use safety glasses or goggles during each launch (not included). Keep all observers
at least 60 feet from the launching area and take great care when the rocket is returning to Earth. Do
not try to catch a falling Meteor Rocket.™
8. It can take anywhere from a few seconds to a couple of minutes for The Meteor Rocket's™ fuel (baking
soda and vinegar) to mix and generate enough gas for launching. Do not approach the rocket if it fails to
take off. Ask an adult to examine the rocket. When examining or refueling the rocket always hold the
rocket away from the body. Do not point toward yourself, any other person, animal or thing.
Safety Between Launches:
Clean out The Meteor Rocket™ and launch pad with soap and water between uses. This should be done every
time, because vinegar is acidic and will damage the plastic rocket and launch pad if it is allowed to dry in place,
which will cut down on the effective life of your rocket.
