OIL & LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS
In order for the engine to perform correctly and quietly, it is important that
the chassis be lubricated before operation. Lubrication should include all
truck block bushings and pickup rollers to prevent them from squeaking.
Use light household oil and follow the lubrication points marked “L" in Fig.
3 above.
The locomotive’s internal gearing in the power trucks has been greased at
the factory and shouldn’t need additional grease until after 50 hours of
operation or one year whichever comes first. Grease cannot be added to the
internal gearing until the body is removed from the chassis which is held in
place by six Phillips screws. The screws are located on each end of the
chassis’ as seen in Fig. 5 on page 23. After removing the screws, lift the
body away from the chassis and lay the body next to the chassis.
Next, remove the power truck block from the chassis by unscrewing the
large Phillips motor mount screw on the bottom of the power truck (See Fig.
