Setting up the derrick
Your Derrick car is packed with its mast folded down. To prepare the car for use, simply raise
the mast until it snaps into place in its vertical position. Refer to Figure 10. Also, check that
the lines are properly threaded through the pulleys.
To fold down the mast, pull the mast lock away from the derrick.
Be sure that the derrick clears the objects on your layout, including trains and
scenery. Also, raise the hook and the boom to avoid tangling the lines and drag-
ging the hook.
Caution!
