Maintenance
Care of the Remote Control
To ensure trouble-free operation:
!
Do not drop the remote. It can damage the delicate electronics inside.
!
Remove batteries before storing for extended periods.
!
Any attempt by anyone other than an authorized M.T.H. repair person to open and
repair the handheld transmitter or lock-on may result in damage and the loss of
warranty protection.
!
If your train responds inconsistently, replace old batteries with fresh ones. Do not
mix old and new batteries.
Lubrication Instructions
The engine should be oiled and greased in order to run properly.
Regularly lubricate all side rods and linkage components and pickup rollers
to prevent squeaking. Use light household oil, such as that found in
M.T.H.'s maintenance kit. Do not over oil. Use only a drop or two on each
pivot point.
Greasing Instructions
The locomotive's internal gearing was greased at the factory. Grease engine every 50
hours of use or one year. Use a lithium based grease and follow the greasing instructions.
