First up, in goes the circuit board on the four posts in the back:
Now, we poke the little rubber "plug" for the power port out (on yours this is probably camouflaged with black "damage". I cleaned mine up--whoops!) Just push the "ring" end up and into the interior.
The ring goes around the post shown, and one of the short silver screws with the wide head is used to secure it.
Next, the port itself is attached. Make sure it is lined up so that the port is right over the hole, as shown here.
Two of the long golden screws will do this.
Now, remember how they said not to bolt down the battery box to the frame just yet? Yeah, here's why. Go ahead & plug it in to the port shown.
Next to it goes the power connection we just added.
After that, the motor connection to the gangplank.
And finally, the gangplank lights.
Power on the battery box, and find the blue switch in-line from the power connection. Turn it on, and you should get a red light on the board...
Note that the board has two buttons on it, A and B. B tests lights we don't have installed yet, but A should test the gangplank. Give it a shot.
If all goes well, you should get this...
NOTE: It may happen that your gangplank goes down and then keeps trying to go down. In which case, look at the top of the motor for the two paddles and the white "hook", shown here:
Essentially, the problem is that the top paddle should be carried down by the white hook until it makes contact with the lower paddle, which stops the ramp descent. Make sure it's tucked in under the hook, like so.
Anyway, that's it for this time. Cool stuff.
