9. To reset the locomotive back to it’s factory defaults; Press
the Stop Button [STP] 5 times. Wait at least 2 seconds
between presses. After each press the locomotive will say
“program,” After the 5th press, you will hear “program” fol
-
lowed by a steam hiss. This confirms that the reset process
is completed.
10. Once finished programming, turn the power switch on
the power pack to OFF. This will reset the locomo
-
tive and lock in your programming. To resume oper-
ation, follow the steps under “DC Operation.”
NOTE-When programming the chuff rate, it is recommended that after
each press of the buttons, leave the program mode and run the locomotive.
If the chuff rate is still not to your liking, re-enter the Program Mode and
try the next setting. It takes some experimentation on the part of the user
to get these rates as close as possible.
Manual Volume Control
Located on the top of the tender, towards the rear, there are 3
oval hatches. Remove the middle hatch and use a small flat-
bladed jeweler’s screwdriver to adjust the volume. Adjustment
this volume control lowers or raises the overall volume of the
locomotive, not individual sound volumes.
