LGB DR-99 1568-7 Instructions De Service page 7

Attention! Never touch the heating
element in the center of the smoke
generator. It is hot and fragile.
Hint: The smoke generator can be
run "dry" without smoke fluid.
Sound
This model features a digital elec-
tronic sound system. The volume
control is located under the left water
hatch. Pull up the water hatch to
remove it. Then you can adjust the
volume (Fig. 4)
All sound features described below
also can be controlled directly with
the LGB Multi-Train System (see
Multi-Train System).
Bell and whistle: The whistle sounds
automatically when the locomotive is
started.
The bell and whistle also can be trig-
gered using the LGB Sound Trigger
Magnet (17050) included with this
model. The 17050 snaps between
the ties of most LGB track sections.
The magnet in the 17050 is under the
LGB logo. If the contact is installed
with the logo on one side of the
track, it will trigger the whistle as the
model passes. If the contact is
reversed, it will trigger the bell.
Brake: To trigger the "squealing"
brake sound, reduce the model's
speed slowly. This requires a skilled
hand and a little practice.
Standing sounds: With the Multi-
Train System, you hear the safety
valve, coal shoveling and the boiler
sounds while the loco is standing.
To hear the standing sounds with
analog operation, a low voltage
(approx. 6.5 volts) must be main-
tained on the tracks. Turn the throttle
to a low setting so that the loco does
not yet start, but you can hear the
sounds.

Hint: To obtain standing sounds with
analog operation while the throttle is
turned off and when reversing the
locomotive's direction, the 65011
Sound Unit Power Storage must be
installed. For questions regarding the
installation of the 65011, please con-
tact your authorized retailer.
Hint: This model is equipped with a
starting delay circuit. This enables
the model to produce standing
sounds while it is stopped.
Attention! Do not connect this model
to other locomotives with different
starting characteristics. This can
damage the internal gearing.

Attention! For safety and reliability,
operate this model with LGB power
supplies (transformers, power packs
