Driving French BB7200 Loco

[chrisreb]

Trying to drive this loco but the PDF is in French and have been unsucessful in finding a way to translate it or enough of t to drive.

My attempts to try from tjhe French are not working.

Just asking in case someone has solved this riddle

Thanks

One of the problems with the loco is the use of the AZERTY Keyboard

You can use Google to translate - this is page 6

Thanks - had got some partial fragments and somehow started moving but it then emergency brakes after 30 secs or so.

A very kind offer - I was only after the driving instructions as I think the bits above are the start up bit. However file too big to upload as it is a PDF

That would be the vacma (if you haven't turned it of). It's the french driver vigilance device.

Ah - thanks will make sure that is done as I must have hit wrong key
