INSTRUCTIONS

without track power.

(4) Open battery compartment on inside of caboose and install a 9 volt
nicad rechargeable battery. Make 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.
(6) Use the three position switch on the bottom of the caboose to select
your light operation.
