NOTE
: When locking the engine in the Forward or Reverse positions, the whistle button
will blow the horn. But when locking the engine into the NEUTRAL position, the whistle
button may turn on or off sounds of the bell, coupler arming or coupler firing depending on

Remember, the horn doesnt blow in NEUTRAL (unless you programmed it to do so using

you may hear one of the three different NEUTRAL-activated sounds.
To unlock the engine from the NEUTRAL position, follow the process
to unlock the engine in the Forward or Reverse directions above.
