Powering your Elevated Tank

Y

our Elevated Tank operates best at 12-18 volts (AC). Because the power connections are
located on the underside of the base, we recommend that you attach the wires before you

attach the walkways.

Power the Elevated Tank with your transformer, a separate accessory power supply, or a
Lionel Lock-On (available separately, 6-62900). To make these connections, you need the ends
of the wires to be stripped back 1/4” to 3/8”.

Use a pair of wire strippers or a sharp knife to strip the wires. Only an adult
should perform this task! Always use care when stripping wires.

To wire this accessory, simply attach a wire to each of the spring clip terminals on the
bottom of the Elevated Tank and connect them to the POWER/A and COMMON/GROUND/U
terminals on your power supply or to the Lionel Lock-On as illustrated in Figure 1.

Spring clip terminal and Lock-On connections: Press down on the top of the terminal clip so that
the metal loop is exposed. Slide the bare end of the wire into the exposed loop. Release pressure on the
terminal clip, allowing the crimped metal to pinch the end of the wire in the metal loop. Give a little
tug on the wire to check if the hold is secure.

Polarity does not matter. Connect either wire to the Power/A terminal or to the
Common/Ground/U terminal.
