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 volume control located under the tender
(see Fig. 2).
Failure either to add fluid to the unit or to turn it off may
damage the smoke unit heating element and/or wicking material.
Placing the Engine on the Track
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.
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 page 14.
