lighting or sound electronics.
For this purpose, gently remove the
cover of the socket using a small
straight screwdriver to pry it out.

Steam generator
Note:
Owing to the large amount of steam
generated, we recommend to air
rooms sufficiently when the locomo-
tive is used indoors.
Functions:
- Steam chuffs synchronized with
wheel revolutions
- Fan speed when standing (min. 2.5
sec.) = minimum
- Running dry protection
- When the tank is empty, the heat-
ing and fan will be switched off
after approx. 2 minutes.
ATTENTION!
Only use LGB Steaming

may damage your locomotive.
Please observe the instructions on
the sample or bottle.
The steam generator can be run
"dry" without steaming fluid.
