Set the reverse unit control switch to OFF. Refer to Figure 1 for the location of the switch. The
locomotive is now "locked" into your chosen direction.
When you no longer want single-direction operation, just slide the switch back to ON.
Your locomotive's reverse unit will "reset" to forward after any power interruption
Note!
lasting five seconds or longer, regardless of the original locked-out direction.
