sprung loaded to return to its central position. Moving up or down
has no function.
Using the transmitter, select the desired direction of travel and then
slowly open the regulator. The locomotive will now move off as
described in the manual control section.
The art of fine control will soon be learnt with a little practice.
NOTE: Always hold the reversing lever fully over in the required
direction when the engine is moving. The model is fitted with a
simple reversing valve gear and is not capable for 'notching
up' (altering the valve cut off).
Always bring the locomotive to a halt by closing the regulator
before changing direction. If an emergency stop is required, simply
release the reversing control on the transmitter, which will spring
back into mid gear and halt the train. Then close the regulator.
Always ensure that the regulator is closed before switching off the
transmitter.
Always switch off the receiver and transmitter when not in use to
preserve battery life.
It is good practice to switch on the transmitter before the receiver
and switch off the receiver before the transmitter. In this way, the
radio receiver is never on when the transmitter is switched off and
so should always be under your control.
When the batteries are getting low a poor signal between
transmitter and receiver will occur. This will cause control of the
engine to become erratic. The batteries in the transmitter should be
replaced immediately and the receiver batteries in the locomotive
should be charged as previously described.
