2. Instalação da bateria

The locomotive requires (6) C Cell Batteries for operation (not included). Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the locomotive. Open the compartment, insert the batteries according to the polarity indicators (+/-), and securely close the cover.

3. Water Vapor Smoke Effect Setup

To activate the water vapor smoke effect, use the provided water bottle dropper to carefully add a small amount of clean water into the designated reservoir on the locomotive. Do not overfill. The smoke effect is generated by water vapor and is safe.
