Introduction
This manual is intended as a starting point to operating the EU07 locomotive in the EU07 Train Simulator
from MaSzyna eu07.pl. This guide will help you start, run, stop and shunt the locomotive, as well as provide
some general information to enhance your experience of the EU07 locomotive.
While the procedures in this manual include the keys required for each action, it is recommended that you
familiarize yourself with the cabin and controls before reading through the startup procedures.

Document Conventions
Keyboard controls. Eg: [P/p] – raise/lower pantograph 1. Upper case indicates that keyboard
[] imput must be Shift – P. Ensure keyboard's Num Lock is on for NumPad controls.

Start Up
1. Raise pantograph 1 [P] or 2 [O] and wait for line Voltmeter to indicate required voltage (~3kV).
Earlier versions of EU07.exe may require you to first turn battery on [J], set direction [d] / [r] and
[space] to switch off driver alert / SHP.
2. Engage main power relay [M/m]. Indicator light will come on.
3. Engage transformer [X] for charging loco battery which drives train controls and systems. Indicator
light will come on.
4. Engage compressor for brakes [C].
5. Turn on headlights - Loco with full load of carriages requires all 3 lights [U, Y, I], Loco by itself
requires right side light only [I].
6. When compressed air pressure reaches nominal level (check pressure gauge), release brakes
[NumPad . ]. Listen for air releasing hissing sound.
7. Observe brake pressure gauges, main cylinder and line pressures should be nominal (indicated by
red line on gauges), and brake cylinder pressure should indicate zero (brakes released).
8. Set main brake lever to running position [NumPad 4].
9. Set directional drive lever to desired position, Forward [d] or Reverse [r]. Direction drive lever can
only be changed when train is stationary and main control setting is set to zero.
10. Release locomotive brake [NumPad 6].
11. You're ready to go! However, if you're a passenger carrying train, you must wait for permission to
depart and ready signal given or indicated by either a whistle, voice command "odjazd" (en:
depart) / "gotow" (en: ready) or intercom. (Intercom is only available on some routes).
While driving along, you may also experience a loss of power and power cutoff switch being tripped,
caused by momentary loss of voltage in the lines or a surge. In this event, you will need to set main
controller back to zero, reset the overload relay and follow start up procedure again to get going.

Driving
Once you have got the locomotive started, have all the right signals and indications that the track is clear
ahead and cargo is loaded, you can start rolling.
1. Set brake response delay [B/b] for passenger or freight configuration.
2. Set current overload relay [F/f] to high or low. For heavy non passenger loads you should set this to
High [F].
3. Turn master controller wheel [NumPad +] to get the locomotive moving. Monitor the Ammeter for
the motor to ensure you don't overload the motor. Press + key on NumPad again to turn the wheel
another step and increase speed. But take care, if the current reaches over 400A, you will trip the
current overload relay. You will then need to turn the master controller to position zero [NumPad -]
reset the overload relay [n] and try again.
4. Beware of wheel spin. If wheel spin occurs, a warning light will come on. To overcome wheel spin;
activate sand dispenser [s] and reduce speed [-]. If this does not work i.e. warning light stays on,
use the anti-skid brake [Enter]
5. Now that you have the locomotive rolling, you can increase and decrease speed by turning the main
controller wheel [NumPad +/-]. Initially you will only see the first motor group current rising and
falling as you turn controller wheel, and you will reach speeds of 40 to 50km/h. To get above that,
you will need to engage the second motor group. The second motor group will engaged after
you've gone one click over the half way point of the full rotation of the wheel. With both motor
groups running, you should be able to get up to over 100km/h.

When you turn past the half way point of the controller wheel's full rotation, you may also notice
something else happen, the orange light on the panel goes off...read on.

The pneumatic aid brake [NumPad 7,4,1] should be used when running the locomotive with no cars
attached instead of the main brakes. This will give you a much better response.
Once the train is moving you may hear a ticking sound, this is a timer on the driver monitor alert
system, which is designed to make sure you don't fall asleep at the wheel. So when you see the
driver monitor alert appear (first red lights flashing, then an audible sound that will give you a heart
attack when you're not expecting it), cancel it [space bar].
If you're a heavy sleeper or just fail to cancel it in time, the emergency brake system will
automatically engage. To get moving again, release brakes, reset the main controller back to
position zero, set reverser to desired setting and get it rolling again.

Running Non-resistive
While the locomotive is starting up and picking up speed, you will notice the locomotive running with resistor
setting, which should be indicated on the control panel by an orange light. This is a pretty normal operation,
however you should try to avoid running the locomotive in this mode for prolonged periods of time, as it will
cause overheating of the resistor network.
So once you're up and rolling you should try to drive the locomotive in non-resistive mode whenever
possible. To do this (when running on either one or both motor groups);
1. Wait for the locomotive to reach a speed where the current falls to a low level.
2. Turn the master controller wheel until the orange light turns off, placing it in the non-resistant
position.
3. For further acceleration use Field Shunts [NumPad / and *]
There are only two non-resistant positions. The first is half way through the full rotation of the controller
wheel (for first motor group only), and the second is at the end or maximum controller wheel setting (for
both motor groups).

Stopping
So there you are, screaming along the track, blowing your horn, drinking a cuppa, whacking the driver
monitor alert cancel button every now and then, and you see a station up ahead. What now?!
It's pretty simple really, a bit like driving a car (sensibly), you reduce power/throttle and apply the brakes.
In case of the EU07:
1. Assess the distance you have left and your speed and decide on when and how much brake
pressure you will apply to make the stop.
2. Turn the controller wheel back to position zero [NumPad -]
3. Apply main brake [3 on key pad] in increments. To release brake press 6 on NumPad or 9 in
increments. (If no cars attached, use aid brake, [NumPad 1])

Shut Down
1. Set main controller wheel to position zero [NumPad -] (turning wheel left until it can go no further).
2. Apply brakes [NumPad 5]
3. Turn off headlights - Loco with full load of carriages requires all 3 lights [u], Loco by itself [y]
4. Lower pantograph 1 [p] or 2 [o]
5. Turn off compressor [c]
6. Turn off transformer [x]
7. Turn off main power relay [m]

Shunting
Coupling and uncoupling procedure assumes the locomotive is already running and you have the basic
locomotive operation under control, i.e. main controller wheel operation, braking, etc.

Coupling
1. Drive locomotive up to the cars
2. Leave the cabin [F4] and approach the coupler of the first car
3. Put pressure on the cars, set master controller to 1st position
4. Once bumpers are touching and locomotive stops, press the INS key twice to couple the consist.

Uncoupling
1. Engage main brakes [NumPad 5]
2. When pressure stabilized, release locomotive brake [NumPad 6]
3. Drive locomotive toward the cars until it stops moving (position 1 and 2 on the master controller).
4. Set aid brakes on [NumPad 1 twice]
5. Set master controller to zero [NumPad -]
6. Leave the cabin [F4], approach coupler and uncouple [Delete twice]
