4 No. 9 Trolley
Basic Operation
The Throttle knob controls how fast your No.9 Trolley will travel.
The Traditional No.9 Trolley uses a mechanical reversing unit for controlling the
direction of operation. Each time the power is interrupted and then re-applied, the
mechanical reversing unit will change to the next state in a Neutral - Forward - Neutral
- Reverse sequence. There is no set state or direction for the initial operation. The No. 9
Trolley will start in the next state in the
cycle of operation.
Turn up the throttle to control the track
power. If the Trolley does not move and
the headlight is shining bright, the engine
may be in neutral.
Interrupt the track power by turning the off
throttle and then turning the throttle back
on again or pressing the direction button.
The Trolley should the begin moving in forward or reverse.
The No.9 trolley can be locked into forward, neutral or reverse by using the lockout
switch on the bottom of the trolley. (See Fig 2.)
To lock the No.9 Trolley in a direction or neutral state, set the No. 9 Trolley to the state
you desire and move the lockout switch towards the front of the Trolley.
To unlock the No. Trolley, move the Lockout Switch towards the rear of the Trolley.
