You don't have to hand wind it to get it on the track. Load it at the top. Connect all your wires, footplate chassis and seat and press the toglle to go down. You can also use the remote control to do it. There is a brass bush in the centre of the power pack, it runs on the copper strip on the track for charging. Make sure when you drive the powerpack onto the track that the bush isn't catching on the track - look from the top of the track down.
