Using this model is quite straightforward. Just connect it to an analog DC power source, and it will start running smoothly thanks to its coasting drive. When you're not using it, store it in the original box and foam to keep it safe. As for maintenance, since the wheel wear is almost none, you don't need to worry too much about that. But it's a good idea to keep it clean from dust. If you want to add sound, you can easily install a speaker in the tender as it's factory-drilled for that.
