Operating the Auxiliary Tender Coupler
and Backup Light
When the Auxiliary Tender is properly connected to the Main Tender, the method of
operating the rear coupler and the backup light is dependent on the configuration of
the Main Tender.
If your Main Tender is equipped with a COAL – AUX switch, placing the COAL –
AUX switch in the AUX position will allow the commands for firing the rear coupler
on the Auxiliary Tender and not the Main Tender. Likewise, the backup light on the
Auxiliary Tender will replace the operation of the backup light on the Main Tender.
If your Main Tender is not equipped with a COAL – AUX switch, the command for
firing the engine front coupler will fire the rear coupler on the Auxiliary Tender. The
backup light on the Auxiliary Tender will turn on along with the backup light in the
Main Tender.
