Get your locomotive moving. Your locomotive goes through a repeating pattern
of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. To sequence the reverse
unit, press the DIRECTION button on your transformer, or briefly bring the throttle
all the way back to the OFF position and then forward. Each press of the DIRECTION
button or interruption in track power causes the locomotive to advance to the next
operational state.
Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.
If the smoke unit switch is in
the ON position, add smoke
fluid to your locomotive's
stack to prevent damage to the
smoke unit. Refer to page 8
for additional information.
Slide the smoke unit switch
to the OFF position if the
locomotive remains in
neutral. The smoke unit will become damaged if the locomotive is left
sitting on the track with power on.
Do not power your locomotive with direct-current (DC) transformers.
The locomotive was designed for use with alternating-current (AC)
transformers only.
