5. Інструкція з експлуатації
Once the locomotive is correctly placed on the tracks and connected to a suitable DC power supply, you can begin operation:
- Увімкнення: Turn on your model railway power supply.
- Контроль швидкості: Повільно збільшуйте гучністьtage using your controller. The locomotive should begin to move smoothly. Avoid sudden changes in speed or direction.
- Зміна напрямку: To change direction, reduce the speed to zero, then briefly turn the controller to maximum in the opposite direction, or use the direction switch on your controller if available.
- Обкатка: For optimal performance and longevity, allow the locomotive to run for approximately 30 minutes in each direction at a moderate speed without a load. This helps to break in the motor and gears.
