Basic Operation
Throttle
– Throttle up the power to your track. Give about 10-14 volts or enough power
so that the engine’s headlight shines brightly. Then put the engine into motion by either
firmly pressing the Direction button on your transformer or remote once or dropping and
advancing the throttle to put the engine in forward. Operation Buttons
Use the operation buttons on your transformer or remote as described below.
Whistle/Horn-
To sound the whistle, firmly press the Whistle/Horn button. The whistle
will sound for as long as you continue to depress the button. It will stop when you
release the button. The whistle has four different endings, depending on whether you
hold the button for less than three seconds, three seconds, four seconds, or five seconds
or longer.
Bell
- To sound the bell, firmly press and release the Bell button. To turn the bell off,
press and release the Bell button again. The bell will continue to ring from the time you
turn it on until you press and release the button again to turn it off.
Direction
– Your train is programmed to start in neutral. The first direction after neutral
upon start-up is forward. Firmly press and release the Direction button to allow the
engine to move forward. Just as you must stop your automobile between forward and
reverse, this engine will not go directly from forward to reverse; it goes into neutral
between directions. If the train has been moving forward, the first press of the Direction
button will put the train from forward into neutral, the second press into reverse, the third
press back into neutral, and the fourth back into forward. To prevent accidental high-
speed start-ups, this engine is programmed to restart in neutral each time the track
voltage is turned off for 25 seconds or more.
Manual Volume Control
– To adjust the volume of all sounds made by this engine, turn
the master volume control knob located under the tender clockwise to increase the
volume and counter-clockwise to decrease the volume (see Fig. 2).
