To enjoy your model for a long time, it is neces-
ary to
service
it regulary (i.e. after it has been in
operation for approximately 30 hours). Uncouple
locomotive and tender first (fig. 5).
1. Cleaning of wheel contacts: Wheel cont-
acts easily get dirty on tracks which are not enti-
rely clean. Use a small brush to
remove dirt
from
spots marked in fig. 6.
2. Lubrication: Apply tiny oil drops to spots
marked in fig. 8. Prior to lubrication dismantle the
tender body (fig. 9). We recommend using item no.
10906, ROCO oiler
. For lubrication the gearparts
(e.g. cogwheels, worm) we would recommended
our ROCO
special grease (item no. 10905 ).
Attention: Please do not oil these parts when
using our grease.
3. Change of traction tyre: Remove bogie
blind. Take out the
wheel set
and remove the
traction tyre
using a pin or a fine screwdriver
(fig. 7). When pressing on the new traction tyre
please avoid twisting it .
4. Motor Changing: First remove tender body
(fig. 9), and then the motor (fig. 9).
Assembly: During assembly please take care of
correct position of contacts (fig. 9).
Unwrap model: Take the loco carefully out of
the packing with the help of the foil (fig. 1).
Very important!
Before taking into service your model these
bearings of the coupling rods must be oiled as
otherwise there would be the risk of bad run-
ning qualities of dramage on he locomotive (see
fig. 8).
Operating instructions:
Before use is advisab-
le to let the loco go around about 30 minutes for-
wards an 30 minutes backwards without load, to
obtain an optomal circuit and best tractive power.
The smallest radius this model should run is R11
(310 mm) . The model without tubes protection
pistons would run only if driven very carefully on
R11. (fig. 3).
Your locomotive will run smoothly on clean tracks
only. For this purpose we recommend using item
no.
10002, ROCO track cleaning rubber
, for
removing heavy dirt.
Fittings: In the enclosed accessory bag you will
find small kits to be fitted on your locomotive.
Please
mount them cautiously. Attention!

Running in digital mode:
First remove Tender body (fig. 9). Then remove the
jumper from the interface. Finally put the plug of
the chip into the interface as shown in fig. 4.
