FOR YOUR PROTECTION
1) Never reverse a locomotive without stopping it first. To do so may
damage the locomotive engine.
2) Never connect a locomotive to the AC terminals of your TRAINPOWER
6200 as this may damage your locomotive motor.
3) Turn the power switch off at the end of a day’s operation.
4) When a short circuit or power overload occurs and the circuit protector
trips, turn the TRAINPOWER 6200 off and correct the short or overload.
Allow two to five minutes for the thermal circuit protector to reset before
turning your unit back on.
5) Avoid prolonging overloads and short circuits. While your TRAINPOWER
6200 is equipped with several safety devices to prevent accidental
damage due to short circuits and overloads, it is unwise to subject it to
these conditions frequently.
6) Do not operate HO or smaller scale locomotives with the mode switch in
the Mode I position.
7) Do not store the power pack in a damp area.
8) For best performance, keep the wheel and track surfaces clean.
Intermittent and “jerky” operation are often caused by an oxide coating
which has formed on the track, wheels, or track pick-ups on the
locomotive.
9) Before returning your unit for repair or service, make certain it is
defective. Do not shut down your layout unnecessarily.
10) If it is necessary to return your unit, repack it in its original carton and
then in an outer carton, placing at least four inches of packing material
on each side. Mail unit to:
Model Rectifier Corporation
80 Newfield Avenue
Edison, New Jersey 08837
Be certain to send the unit Parcel Post insured or United Parcel
Service, and Include a letter with your name and address printed
clearly, describing the problem you are experiencing.
All of us at MRC would like to join in wishing you many happy years of model
railroading with your new TRAINPOWER 6200.
