General Note to Avoid Electromagnetic Interference:
A permanent, flawless wheel-rail contact is required in order to guarantee operation
for which a model is designed. Do not make any changes to current-conducting parts.
Mode of Operation Switch
This model has a four-position switch for the mode of operation. It is located in the
engineer's cab (Figure 1).
Pos. 0 Locomotive stopped without current
Pos. 1 Power to lights, sound and motor
Pos. 2 & 3 Same as Pos. 1
Sound
This locomotive has a volume controller (Figure 2).
The bell and horn can be activated with the LGB sound activation magnet (17050).
The activation magnet can be clipped into place between the ties of most LGB track
sections.
The magnet is positioned to the side under the LGB logo cast into the plastic cover.
Place the magnet on the right side in order to activate the whistle when the locomo-
tive passes over this location. The bell will sound when the magnet is placed on the
left side.
Smoke Generator
In analog operation, the smoke generator synchronized to the wheels is turned off
due to its power draw. This can be turned on by setting CV 13 from Value 32 to Value
96, but this may affect the running characteristics when running very slowly – depen-
ding on the current supply.
The smoke generator may be filled with a maximum of 5 – 6 milliliters / 0.2 fluid
ounces of (Märklin) 2421 smoke fluid.
