Your gearbox is properly greased at the factory and probably never needs
service however, if you run excessive hours pulling heavy loads, it's a good
idea to re-grease the gearbox using M.T.H. gear grease or equivalent. You can
remove the gear box cover by releasing one of the end lockng tabs using a
small flatblade screwdriver.

SET-UP
FEATURES AND OPERATION
Now, for the fun stuff! Your new M.T.H. HO Diesel Engine has more features
and operating capabilities than any HO engine ever built by any manufacturer.
We're going to walk you through everything she does in general but, you'll
probably find a few we forgot to mention on your own.
Don’t worry. We’ve taken care of the hard part for you. Your MTH DCC Ready
engine already has the jumpers installed at the factory so all you have to do is set
it on the rails, apply DC power and away you go.
Conventional Operation Jumpers
Your MTH DCC Ready engine has pre-installed jumpers that allow for out-of-
the-box operation. However, you can remove these jumpers to change the
lighting to your liking. You can shut off the Number Board Lights by removing
the jumpers on the engine's circuit board. Please refer to Removing Jumpers in
the DCC Operation section of this manual.
It is important to note that there two sets of jumpers that route track power to
your engine's motor. These must be installed when operating in Conventional DC
mode.
Couplers
MTH DCC Ready engine comes with Kadee-compatible couplers already
installed.
