INSTRUCTIONS

Note that different sized screws are used in this
assembly. It is very important that you remember where
each screw came from and replace it correctly. To help
you with the different size screws, please refer to the
screw chart on this page.

Turn the car over, padding it carefully to avoid scratches.

Remove the small Phillips screw that is holding the
ground wire in place from each truck (two screws total).
Release one wire from under the screw, and pull the
other wire from its connection to the pick-up roller
assembly of each truck.

! Remove the four recessed mounting screws located at
the corners of the car.

! Turn the trucks so that you can reach the interior-
mounting screw located under each truck (two screws
total), and remove them.

! Pop the roof off the car by holding each end of the car
and twisting them in the opposite direction, then gently
remove the roof and interior from the chassis, pulling the
loosened wires completely free from the chassis as you
lift.

! Turn the interior over and remove the four screws from
the bottom to separate the two levels of the interior.
Replace the two lower light bulbs by tilting their housing
and popping them out like Christmas tree lights.

! Remove the four screws on the bottom of the upper
interior to remove the roof. Pull it off and replace the
four bulbs by popping them out like Christmas tree lights.

Reassemble the car in the reverse order, making sure that
the interior is placed inside the body the right way. If it is
backwards, a post will show through a window when
looking at the side view. (See figure 7)

Take care that wires are not pinched upon reassembly
and that when you reconnect them to the trucks, they do
not rub against a wheel, as pinched or rubbed wires can
cause shorts.

You can obtain replacement bulbs directly from the
M.T.H. Parts Department (phone: [phone]; e-mail:
[e-mail]; mail: 7020 Columbia Gateway
