Transformer operations

Running your locomotive with a Lionel transformer

Place your locomotive on American Flyer or S gauge two-
1
rail track.
Note!
The curves must have a radius of at least 20".
Power up your locomotive with your transformer.
2
Your locomotive is designed to operate on 9-15 volts alternating
current. Virtually all American Flyer or Lionel alternating-current transformers
are suitable.
Do not power your locomotive with direct current (DC).
Caution!
Damage to sensitive electronic components may occur.
Move 'em out!
3
Get your locomotive moving. Press the DIRECTION button on your
transformer. This sequences the reverse unit to the next operating state.
Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed. To
increase speed, increase track voltage. To decrease speed, reduce voltage. To stop the
locomotive, turn-off track power.
See page 4 for information on locking your locomotive into a single
operational state.
