Resetting All Proto-Sound® Options To Factory Defaults
-
Reset Feature 18 -(3 Clanks, 3 Clinks)
Reset Feature 18 is the most
powerful of the Reset features
available. Using Reset Feature 18
allows you to override all changes in
programming and return all Resets to
the original, out of the box settings.
To use, cycle to Reset Feature 18 and
press the Horn/Whistle button. The
engine will play a distorted bell,
followed by a clear bell sound. This indicates that the Proto-Sound system has
restored all settings to factory default settings. Lock the changes by interrupting the
throttle and cycling the engine into forward.
OIL & LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS
In order for the engine to perform correctly and quietly, it is important that
the chassis be lubricated before operation. Lubrication should include all
side rods and linkage components and pickup rollers to prevent them from
squeaking. Use light household oil and follow the lubrication points
marked “L" in Fig. 8 below.
The locomotive’s internal gearing has been greased at the factory and
shouldn’t need additional grease until after 50 hours of operation or one
year whichever comes first. Grease can be added by inserting grease into
the gear box inside the locomotive chassis. In order to access the gear box,
the boiler must be removed from the chassis by unscrewing the four chassis
