Basic Operation
Throttle
- Throttle up the power to your track. Give enough power so that
the engine's headlight shines brightly. Then put the engine into motion by
either firmly pressing the Direction button on your transformer or remote
once or decreasing the throttle to off then increasing the throttle until the
engine begins to move.
Operation Buttons
Use the operation buttons on your transformer or remote as described below.
·
Horn/Whistle
- To sound the whistle, firmly press the Horn/Whistle
button. The whistle will sound for as long as you continue to depress the
button. It will stop when you release the button. The whistle has four
different endings, depending on whether you hold the button for less than
three seconds, three seconds, four seconds, or five seconds or longer.
·
Bell
- To sound the bell, firmly press and release the Bell button. To turn
the bell off, press and release the Bell button again. The bell will continue
to ring from the time you turn it on until you press and release the button
again to turn it off.
·
Direction
- Your train is programmed to start in neutral. The first direction
after neutral upon start-up is forward. Firmly press and release the Direction
button to allow the engine to move forward. Just as you must stop your
automobile between forward and reverse, this engine will not go directly
from forward to reverse; it goes into neutral between directions. If the train
has been moving forward, the first press of the Direction button will put the
train from forward into neutral, the second press into reverse, the third press
back into neutral, and the fourth back into forward. To prevent accidental
high-speed start-ups, this engine is programmed to restart in neutral each
time the track voltage is turned off for 25 seconds or more.
Volume Control
- To adjust the volume of all sounds made by this engine,
turn the master volume control knob located under the cab clockwise to
increase the volume and counter-clockwise to decrease the volume.
