Installation of the LE1000W 

Take note of which motor connection is connected to the right-
hand rail and which to the left hand rail. If you do this you will 
know which wire of the decoder needs to be soldered to which 
motor connection in order to achieve the desired direction of 
travel.  
After the removal of the original connections to the motor brushes, 
check to ensure that both of the motor brushes are completely 
isolated from each rail pickup. This means that they must not be 
connected in any way to the chassis or to the wheels of the 
locomotive. Also bear in mind, that shorts are sometimes created 
when the locomotive shell is put back on! 
Please contact a service center/dealer if you are in any doubt as 
to whether all preconditions for the installation are fulfilled!
