The patented E-Z Track® System in this train set combines Bachmann's snap-fit track and roadbed design with the universally accepted method of track connection that ensures proper track alignment and a continuous electrical circuit. A FEW EXTRA MINUTES SPENT TO MAKE SURE THE TRACK RAILS ARE PROPERLY CONNECTED WILL GUARANTEE SMOOTH OPERATION AND OPTIMUM SET PERFORMANCE. ***THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP IN THE ASSEMBLY OF YOUR TRAIN SET.
PAGE 4
PROPER E-Z TRACK® ASSEMBLY Great care must be given to assembling track sections! Improper assembly will cause derailments and/or interrupted electrical contact. When assembling the track, snap it together tightly (figure 1), AND AT THE SAME TIME, make sure the rail and rail joiners are seated properly as shown in figure 2. Please note: the rail joiners form a continuous connection for the electric current.
PAGE 5
2 Be sure rail joiners do not slip under the rails without properly connecting. Assurez-vous que les raccords ne glissent pas sous les rails sans les relier correctement. Asegúrese que las juntas del riel no se deslicen debajo de los rieles sin conectarse correctamente. 3 READ BEFORE USE ATTENTION TO PARENTS: *WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose controller or power pack to rain or moisture.
PAGE 6
CONNECTING TRACK POWER Do not plug in the speed controller yet. Turn the speed controller to the “OFF” position (figure 4). Plug the red terminal wire into the “output to track” jack of the speed controller as shown in figure 5. Connect the other end of the red terminal wire to the terminal/rerailer track by simply plugging it in as shown in figure 6. Connect power pack to controller at “input AC” jack (figure 7).
PAGE 7
OPERATION Plug power pack into wall outlet (figure 9). Begin feeding power to the track by slowly turning the control knob clockwise (figure 10). The direction in which the locomotive travels is determined by the direction switch located at the top of the controller (figure 11). To change your locomotive's direction, turn the speed controller to the "OFF" position and slide the switch to the left or right as needed.
PAGE 8
ACTION CHECKLIST IF YOUR TRAIN DOESN’T RUN OR STOPS RUNNING IF YOUR TRAIN DOESN’T RUN, CHECK THE FOLLOWING: 1. MAKE SURE THE POWER PACK IS PLUGGED INTO A LIVE WALL RECEPTACLE. 2. MAKE SURE ALL LOCOMOTIVE AND CAR WHEELS ARE ON THE TRACK. 3. CHECK TO MAKE SURE ALL WIRING IS SECURE. 4. CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE TRACK IS PROPERLY ASSEMBLED. 5. IF YOUR TRAIN HITS A BUMP OR DERAILS ANYWHERE ALONG THE TRACK, THAT SECTION OF TRACK MAY NOT BE PROPERLY SEATED IN THE RAIL JOINER.
PAGE 9
SHORT CIRCUITS If your train stops or fails to start, a short circuit may be indicated. UNPLUG THE POWER PACK AT ONCE. Derailed wheels may cause a short, so check to make sure all wheels are properly on the track. Check all connections and be sure that no metal of any sort is across the rails (figure 13), including metal-coated tinsel or holiday ornament hooks. After checking everything carefully, resume operation.
PAGE 10
ACCESSORY CONNECTION Your speed controller is equipped with 16V AC terminals that can provide power to accessories on your layout. To attach an accessory, depress the spring-loaded posts to open the terminals. Then, simply insert the accessory wires (one wire per terminal) and release the spring-loaded posts to clamp the wires in place (figure 14). Note: Your speed controller is capable of powering one accessory item at a time.
PAGE 11
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Care must be taken to clean and maintain your train for optimum performance. Clean track and clean wheels ensure good electrical contact for proper train operation. After every eight hours of use, wipe the track rails and exposed portions of your locomotive’s wheels with a soft, lint-free cloth or cotton swab to ensure good electrical contact. The removal of black residue is normal. DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL TO CLEAN YOUR TRACK.
