Assembly instructions

The installation of the steam generator into a locomotive is quite simple. The only requirement is a soldering iron. Dismantle the locomotive in the following manner: Remove stack by turning it counterclockwise. Pull out the cow catcher. Remove three screws in the rear underneath the locomotive. Pull out the rear coupling and unhook latches which hold the rod linkage.

The motor block can now be taken out of the frame. At the top of the motor block two brass contacts are visible on either side. The short piece of wire is soldered to the left front brass contact (looking at the motor block in the direction of travel). It is then guided downward along the groove on the left side of the motor block and attached, together with the supplied longer screw, washer and lever, to the snow plough.

The supplied copper spring plate is soldered to the right brass contact. Before soldering, the copper plate must be inserted into the stack hole of the motor block. In this way the current-return-flow is ensured.
