THE PROGRAM
For information on the complete
LEHMANN TOY program, see the
LEHMANN TOY catalog and the LGB
catalog. RIGI cableways are also
compatible with LGB G-scale trains
and accessories.
PREPARATION
1. Place the valley station on a
level surface (Fig. 1).
Attention! Protect the valley station
from moisture.
2. Attach the mountain station to a
vertical surface (Fig. 2). (2 mount-
ing screws and 2 anchors are includ-
ed.)
8
- The distance between the stations
must allow for at least 5 seconds of
travel, because the automatic
reversing circuits will not work oth-
erwise.
- The distance between the stations
must not exceed 6 m (20 ft.).
- The suspension cables must run in
the guide slots of the valley station.
The cables must not touch the bot-
tom of the slots (cable not inclined
steep enough), nor run above the
guide slots (cable inclined too
steeply).
3. Attach the suspension cables to
the roller brackets on the gondolas.
Slide one end of the cable through
the small hole in the end of the roller
bracket and attach it with a small
knot.
Hint: For prototypical appearance, the
rollers on the brackets should face
up. The gondolas should be posi-
tioned with the doors facing out-
ward, so passengers can get on and
off.
4. Loop the suspension cables over
the pulleys on the mountain and
valley stations. Make sure the lower
cable runs through the guide slots in
the valley station.
5. Lengthen or shorten the suspen-
sion cables until they match the
distance between the stations.
6. Slide the valley station away
from the mountain station to ten-
sion the setup. Attach the valley sta-
tion to the surface. (4 mounting
screws are included.)
7. Connect the included trans-
former. Insert the plug into socket
(c) of the valley station (Fig. 4).
Attention! The transformer is for
indoor use only.
8. Attach the included clips to the
suspension wires, so that the
descending gondolas stop at the
desired location. When the clip
touches the valley station, the motor
stops. After the pre-selected wait
time has elapsed, the cableway
restarts in the opposite direction.
Hint: If necessary, the clips can be
opened using a screwdriver.
9. Plug the transformer power cable
into a house current outlet. Now the
cableway starts operation. To stop
the cableway, unplug the trans-
former.
OPERATION
There are two controls on the valley
station (Fig. 4):
- Station stop duration (a): Use this
control to set the duration of the
station stop.
You can select a duration between
about 5 seconds (factory pre-set)
and 90 seconds. Turn the control
clockwise to increase the duration of
the station stop.
- Speed (b): Turn the control clock-
wise to increase the speed.
Hints:
- If the wheel of the valley station
spins without moving the gondolas,
the suspension wires need to be
tightened. Shorten the suspension
wires or move the valley station to
tighten the wires.
- If the motor switches off automati-
cally or changes direction prema-
turely, the suspension wires are too
tight. Let the motor cool. Release
the tension of the suspension
wires.
- If the gondolas stop in mid-travel,
increase the speed setting (control
b).
- Do not turn the valley station pulley
by hand. This may damage the
gears in the station.
- Instruction for assembling the
paperboard valley station building
are included with the building.
- Both the transformer and the valley
station are equipped with overload
protection circuitry.
