RailKing SD45 Diesel Engine
Initial Lubrication
Although the engine was lubricated at the factory, it is important that you
lubricate the chassis before operation. Lightly grease the outside idler and
drive gears (marked “G” in Fig. 3 on pg. 9) to prevent them from squeaking.
Use light household oil and follow the lubrication points (marked “L” in Fig.
2 on pg. 8). Do not over-oil. Use only a drop or two on each pivot point.
At this point, you are ready to put your engine on the track and begin running
it.
