Adjusting The Horse Car Doors - Lionel Operating Horse Car and Corral Owner's Manual

Adjusting the Horse Car doors

T
he two small doors on the side of your Horse Car fold down to allow the figures to shuffle over
them. Due to the movement that may occur in transit or the variations in your track, you
may find that you need to re-adjust these doors so that they rest properly on top of the corral ramp
protrusions.
Determine if any adjustment is needed
1. Set up and wire the corral. Then power up the track.
2. Position the Horse Car on the track in front of the corral. Line up the small doors with the corral
ramps.
3. Press the activation button and watch as the doors open. They should rest on top of the
protrusions at the ends of the corral ramp.
• If the doors rest evenly on the ramp, the figures should be able to travel through the car and
the corral without a problem. Adjusting the doors is not necessary.
• If there is a gap between the doors and the ramp, you will need to adjust one or both of the
doors. Follow the steps in the next section.
Make the necessary adjustments
1. With the Horse Car on the track, slide open the large door between the two smaller doors.
2. Use your fingers or a screwdriver to fully raise the exposed metal rod to cause the small doors to
swing out.
3. As illustrated in Figure 7, with the rod in the fully raised position, grasp the rod with a pair
of pliers to prevent it from rotating, then position the two doors so that they rest flatly on the
protrusions at the ends of the corral ramp.
4. Release the rod and allow the doors to return to the closed position.
5. Close the large door between the two smaller doors.
