5.1 Basisbedieningen

• Snelheidsregeling: Gradually increase the power on your controller to start the locomotive. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration.
• Richtingcontrole: Use the direction switch on your controller to change the locomotive's direction of travel.
• Verlichting: The locomotive features directional lighting, which illuminates according to the direction of travel.
