SD 45 "dumb" clips

I received a SD 45 that was DC/DCC ready about a year ago but had not tried to run it until recently.  I run DC only and I found that it does not seen to run well on DC.  I notice that there were two clips and a small piece of paper that spoke of removing the DCC board and putting the clips on certain number holes.  What is the purpose of this?  Does this set the loco to run on DC?  Can I get replacement clips as I remember having them a year ago when I originally opened the box but can't find them now?  Your help would be appreciated.

They are indeed for if you want to solely operate the loco with DC, with no intentions of using DCC in the near future. Call Bachmann service and they should be able to get you replacement jumpers for a nominal fee.
