Basic Operation
Volume Control
– To adjust the volume of all sounds made by this engine, turn
the master volume control knob located under the engine clockwise to increase
the volume and counter-clockwise to decrease the volume (see Fig. 2).
The Throttle knob controls how fast your train will travel.
!
Turn the throttle knob up ½-way, until the engine and caboose lights shine bright.
!
Put the engine into motion by pressing the Direction button on your transformer
once. (hold it for approximately 1 second)
If the engine does not begin to move as soon as you firmly
press the Direction button, you may not have sent enough
voltage to the track to make the train move. Turn the
throttle up a bit higher until the train begins to move.
Operation Buttons
Throttle
To increase or decrease track voltage, and
therefore train speed, turn the throttle control knob.
Turning it clockwise will increase voltage and speed, while turning it counterclockwise
will decrease voltage and speed. The engine will maintain the speed you set after you
release the throttle until you turn it again to change the voltage and speed.
Horn/Whistle
- To sound the whistle, firmly press the Horn/Whistle button. The horn
will sound for as long as you continue to depress the button. It will stop when you
release the button.
Bell -
To sound the bell, firmly press the bell button. The bell sound will continue until
the bell button is firmly pressed a second time.
Direction
Your train is programmed to start in neutral. The train will always cycle
neutral-forward-neutral-reverse with each press and release of the direction button. The
engine is programmed to restart in neutral each time the track voltage is turned off for 25
seconds or more.
Direction Lock
You can lock your engine into a direction (forward,
neutral, or reverse) so that it will not change
directions. To do this, put the engine into the
direction you want, then remove the engine from
the track and slide the ON/OFF switch located on
the bottom of the engine to the OFF position. The
engine will not change direction (including going
into neutral) until you flip the switch back to ON to
return the engine to its normal condition, even if the
engine is kept without power for extended periods of time.
