Operating Instructions

The Freight Goods Station offers several interactive features:

Magnetic Crane Operation

• Position the magnetic crane arm over a cargo load. The magnet will automatically attach to the cargo.
• Use the red knob on the crane to raise or lower the magnetic arm, lifting the cargo.

Cargo Chute Function

• Once the magnetic crane has placed a cargo load onto the cargo chute, ensure a cargo wagon is positioned directly below the chute's exit.
• Press the red button on the side of the chute to activate the sliding mechanism. The cargo will slide down and land in the waiting cargo wagon.
