Reverse unit procedure

T
he electronic reverse unit inside your American Flyer locomotive acts like the transmission in a
car. When you apply power to the track, the locomotive moves in the direction specified by the
reverse unit—or it sits in neutral, awaiting another power interruption. Power interruptions are the
signal that tells the reverse unit to sequence to the next operational state.
To interrupt power and sequence the locomotive's reverse unit, press the direction control button
or briefly bring the throttle lever all the way back to the OFF position. The reverse unit alternates
between three states: forward, neutral, and reverse.

Additionally, this reverse unit has a "power-up reset" feature. If the locomotive sits without power
for a short period of time, the reverse unit will automatically reset and start in the forward direction
when the transformer is turned on or "powered up".

Adjusting the volume using the FlyerChief remote

T
o turn off the locomotive's steam background sounds, slide the SOUND switch to the OFF position.
Refer to Figure 1 on page 5 for the location of this switch.
The overall volume of the sounds in your locomotive can be adjusted, but this requires the use of
the FlyerChief remote (in remote operation mode). To enter Volume Control Mode, place the remote
on a flat surface. Using one hand, press the WHISTLE and BELL buttons simultaneously. After three
seconds, the remote's red LED will begin to flash, acknowledging that you are in volume adjustment
mode. Keep the WHISTLE and BELL buttons depressed.
Using your other hand turn the speed control knob up or down to adjust the volume to your prefer-
ence. Release the WHISTLE and BELL buttons to exit volume adjustment mode.
