Connect the short

wire from the other control
box
clip to the

POST
on the transformer.
The uncoupler is now ready to operate.
As
the cars
pass
over the uncoupler,
press the button, the ramp will snap up and uncouple the cars.
The couplers on American Flyer cars are adjusted and tested before
packing. The correct adjustment is to have the curved or lowest part of the
coupler even with the top of the rails.
If
the cars do not couple or become
uncoupled by themselves while running, the coupler may be out
of
adjust-
ment. It can be corrected by placing the car on a section of track and bending
the coupler either up or down to put it in the correct position.
AUTOMATIC ACTION CARS
The
use
of automatic action cars greatly increases the enjoyment
of
model railroading. You can drop a load of logs, coal or scrap metal, then
load the cars again by means of automatic loading units operated by remote
control. You can unload armored cars and pick up and deliver mail bags on
the fly.
All this can be done by using the automatic cars made by American
Flyer, and they are easy to hook up and operate.
Each car comes equipped with a special rail section (which clamps on
the track)
,
control box and wires.
