circuit which will allow the rear ETD light to remain
illuminated while the caboose remains stopped
in your freight yard. This feature is unique to
USA Trains and shows that we are committed to providing you with the best
possible product at a reasonable price.
We thank you for your support and hope you enjoy our products.
Happy Railroading
USA TRAINS
Rechargeable battery installation is necessary for ETD to flash without
track power.
(1) Slide bottom of roof ladder away from caboose and them push the
ladder up so it detaches from catwalk.
(2) Grab end of platform (both ends) and slide away from caboose so it
is slightly detached from caboose. Slide complete handrail assembly
down so handrails detach from the roof.
(3) Remove the three screws underneath caboose. Remove the two
screws from underside of roof on each end. A Chapman wratchet
set is recommended for this due to the angle at which the screws
must be removed. Drop down the roof panels to access roof screws
on each end of caboose remove screws and lift roof off.
(4) Open battery compartment on inside of caboose and install a 9 volt
nicad rechargeable battery. ake sure (+) and (-) are correctly
matched.
(5) Reassemble caboose - make sure to put the handrails in roof first
and then slide handrail assembly back on to caboose underframe.
NOTE:
Roof will only fit on one way with rear light toward rear of caboose.
Do not force roof on - it is keyed and should fit on without difficulty.
(6) Use the three position switch on the bottom of the caboose to select
your light operation.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY INSTRUCTIONS

before installation in caboose.
