CAUTION - Keep the speaker away from screws and other small pieces of
magnetic material. The speaker has a very strong magnet that can attack
small pieces of metal. These small pieces of metal can become lodged in the
speaker cone and cause distortion of the speaker sound.
- Next remove the rear truck by removing the bolster screw in the chassis.
The Proto-Coupler can now be attached to the truck by inserting the T-Bar
through the hole in the Proto-Coupler then through the hole in the rear of the
truck. Make sure the cross bars on the T are seated in the valleys of the
Proto-Coupler.
- Next slide the spring over the T-Bar.
- Compress the spring, add the washer and secure them by inserting the C-
clip in the groove at the end of the T-Bar.
- Reattach the truck to the tender chassis by inserting the bolster screw.
- Install the speaker and plug it into the white connector.
- Plug the Proto-Coupler to the black connector provided.
- Reconnect the wire harness between the tender chassis and the tender shell.
- Reattach the tender shell. Remember that the front step piece goes on the
outside of the chassis.
When power is applied to the engine the Proto-Coupler can be operated
anywhere on the layout. To operate the coupler in the command mode, press
the rear coupler button on the DCS remote each time you want the coupler to
open.
To operate the coupler in the conventional mode, the coupler can be opened
by quickly pressing the Bell Button and Horn Button (1 Bell and 3 Horns)
on a Z-4000 or compatible Toy Train Transformer. Refer to the Proto-Sound
2.0 Operating Instructions on page 10.
