Using your Athearn SD60E NS #6915 model is a breeze. First, make sure your track is clean and properly connected. Place the locomotive on the track, and if you're using DC, simply connect your power pack and adjust the speed. For DCC operation, use your DCC controller to program and control the locomotive. You can also adjust various functions like horn, bell, and lights. When handling the model, be gentle. Avoid dropping it or applying too much force as it has delicate parts. Keep it away from extreme temperatures and humidity as these can damage the electronics and paint. For maintenance, regularly clean the wheels and electrical contacts with a soft, dry cloth. You can also use a small amount of lubricant on the moving parts like the gears and drivetrain, but be careful not to over - lubricate. If you have any issues with the sound or DCC functions, refer to the included CV chart or contact Athearn's customer service.
