Operation and Installation of your Operating Carousel

F

or optimum operation of your carousel,

your carousel can be placed on any flat,
level area of your layout that can accom­modate its 10-inch diameter.

Prior to placing your carousel on your
layout, you must remove the foam that is
located between the roof and the top of the
horses. This foam is used to prevent the
horses from being damaged during trans­portation of your carousel. Not removing

this foam prior to operation will
permanently destroy the function­ality of your carousel. After you have

removed the foam, you can place the flags
on the top of your carousel. Carefully push

the base of the flag poles into the three large
holes in the cupola at the top of the
carousel. (The smaller holes allow heat to
escape from the light bulb.)

The operation of your carousel is simple.
Locate the switch located next to the thumb­screw posts. Slide the switch to the “ON”
position to activate the lighting and the
movement of the horses. Slide the switch to
the “SOUND” position to activate the music
with the lighting and movement. You can
now sit back and think of the first time that
you grabbed the brass ring on your first
carousel ride.
