EPL Activation Magnet
If you want to equip this locomotive with a 17010 EPL activation magnet, it will be
necessary to install the mounting plate included with it under the gear drive. (The EPL
activation magnet is used to activate the EPL 17100, which is available separately).
The mounting plate can be installed on the front or the rear part of the gear drive:
• On the underside of the gear drive, there are two screws each on both sides
(Fig. 4) next to the articulated joint.
• Loosen the front or the rear screws.
• Position the mounting plate so that the cast-in number is facing down and is not
visible. The holder must be facing the gear drive end and not the articulated joint.
• Fasten the mounting plate on the gear drive with the two gear drive screws.
• The 17010 EPL activation magnet can now be mounted with double-sided tape bet-
ween the cast-in grooves on the underside of the gear drive and on the mounting
plate.
