OPERATION
Preparation
Front coupler: The model may

knuckle coupler on the front. Addi-
tional couplers (LGB 64192) are
available. A standard LGB coupler
is included. To replace the front
coupler, remove the screw at the
bottom of the coupler and install a
new coupler (Fig. 1).

control switch inside the cab (Fig.
1a, 1b):
Position 0: All power off
Position 1: Power to lights
Position 2: Power to lights and
motor
Position 3: Power to lights and

Multi-Train System
This model has a direct decoder
interface. It can be equipped with
an LGB Multi-Train System Deco-
der (55020). The Decoder Interfa-
ce Cable (55026) is not required.
We strongly recommend decoder
installation by an LGB service
station. For more information,
contact your authorized LGB
retailer or an LGB service station
(see Authorized Service).
Hint: If this model is equipped
with a decoder, the digital/analog
DIP switches on the loco circuit
board will be set to OFF. The DIP
switches should remain in this
setting, even if the model is used
on an analog layout.
Lighting
This model features directional
lighting. The model has a "flat"
multi-purpose socket (Fig.2), with
a removable cover, on the rear of
the cab. This socket can be used
to provide track power to cars with
lighting or sound electronics.
To remove the cover of the
socket, pull it straight out. If the
cover is tight, gently use a small
straight screwdriver to pry it out.
(Do not pull out the rectangular
outer housing.)

lity, operate this model with LGB
