INSTALLATION
This decoder will virtually “drop-in” to a Life-Like C Liner N scale diesel locomotive.
Please follow instructions carefully. Remove the locomotive body following the
instructions. Remove the original circuit board, and head light assembly. Then, using
electrical or equiv plastic tape, carefully tape the chassis in the areas as indicated
(See Fig 1) to isolate the decoder from the chassis. This must be done to prevent
damage to the decoder. Gently bend the 2 sets of motorbrush contact pins on the
decoder outward and slide the decoder into the chassis as in Fig 2. Then use a
hobby knife or equivalent to spread the pins around the motor brush the motor
contact plates, Fig 3).
