Model T Cautions

Sharp turns will break the wheel spokes, rendering the Model T inoperative.  Follow the "Handling Sharp Turns" procedure, particularly for wing/offstage turnarounds and resets.

Avoid Sharp Turns

01

The wooden sides of the cab break very easily.  Enter and exit with care.  This will require practice, particularly for the driver.

Be Very Careful When Entering the Car From the Driver's Side

02

Only one spot on each of the running boards is supported underneath.  This should be the only place you step for entry/exit.  Stepping anywhere else will break the running boards.

Step Only on the Supported Part of the Running Boards

03

It will bend!

Don't Push or Pull the Car by the Steering Column

04

Only pick up the car by the locations on the "bumpers" as outlined in the "Handling Sharp Turns" section

Don't Pick up the Car by the Wheels
