The locomotive’s internal gearing was greased at the factory and should not
need additional grease until after 50 hours of operation or one year, whichever
comes first. To access the gear box, do the following:
1. Turn the engine upside down.
2. Remove the Phillips screw (marked “GREASE”) located at the fourth set of
drivers (counting from the front of the engine).
3. Use a grease tube dispenser to put a small amount (approx. 1-2 ml.) of
lithium-based grease into the gearbox.
4. Replace the screw.
You should also grease the leading and trailing locomotive truck tongues to
enhance their ability to slide on the chassis. Follow the grease points shown on
Fig. 10.
