Note: If couplers swing open too far when
uncoupling, lower magnet slightly to correct.
COUPLER OPERATION
TO COUPLE -
Simply push cars together until knuckles bypass
each other and lock into position.
FOR DELAYED UNCOUPLING -
1) Stop with the couplers over an uncoupler
and back up slightly with the couplers still over
the uncoupler, allowing slack to occur between
couplers. 2) Pull forward slightly. Couplers are now
in the delayed position. 3) Back up, pushing the
car(s) to the desired location. Do not permit slack to
develop between couplers. 4) Pull forward, leaving
the car(s) where desired. Couplers automatically
return to normal coupling position.
