Placing The Engine On The Track
4 Railking 2-8-8-8-2 Triplex
Checking The Battery
You may find, if your locomotive was built several months before you set it up, that the
rechargeable battery has run down and needs to be charged before operating. If you
notice that the sounds are garbled, test and charge the engine as described in the
"Self-Charging Battery Back-Up" on page16.
Place the engine on the track, then insert the reverse unit plug that extends out of the
tender into the receptacle at the back of the boiler cab.
WARNING: DO NOT
CONNECT THIS ENGINE TO A TENDER FROM ANOTHER ENGINE; IT MAY
CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE.
Connect the draw bar between the engine and
tender. The draw bar hole located farthest from
the tender is for applications such as display.
The second hole is for normal operation on the
track.
At this point, you are ready to begin running
your engine.
If you choose not to add the fluid (or have already added the fluid but choose to run
smoke-free), turn off the smoke unit switch located under the engine (see Fig. 2).
