To enjoy your model for a long time, it is necesary
to
service
it regulary (i.e. after it has been in ope-
ration for approximately 30 hours).
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. 4.
2. Lubrication:
Apply
tiny oil drops
to spots
marked in fig. 10. Prior to lubrication dismantle
the loco body or the tender body (fig. 6). We re
-
commend using item no.
10906, Roco oiler
. For
lubrication the gearparts (e.g. cogwheels, worm)
we would recommended our Roco
special grea-
se
(item no.
10905
).
Attention:
Please do not oil these parts when
using our grease.
3. Steam generator application (fig. 5):
First
remove the loco body (fig. 6) and then push in the
Seuthe steam generator no. 10 (running in digital
mode: use no.11).
4. Change of traction tyre:
Remove loco gear
cover. 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
.
5. Carbon Brush Changing:
First remove loco-
motive body (fig. 6), and then the motor (fig. 9).
Assembly:
During assembly please take care of
correct position of contacts.
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. 10).
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
R3
(419,6 mm) or rather
R2
(358 mm) of the ROCO
track system (model without tubes protection pis-
tons would run only if driven very carefully on
R2
)
(fig. 2).
Your locomotive will run smoothly on clean tracks
only. For this purpose we recommend using item
no.
46400, ROCO track cleaning van
, or item
no.
10002, ROCO track cleaning rubber
, for
removing heavy dirt.
Fittings:
Operation is possible with different
couplings (fig. 3). We recommend using the ROCO
close coupling.
In the enclosed accessory bag you will find small
kits to be fitted on your locomotive. Please
mount
them cautiously. Attention!
Use glue only if
indicated (fig. 3).
Running in digital mode:
First remove loco body (fig. 6). Then remove the
jumper from the interface. Finally put the plug of
the chip into the interface as shown in fig. 8.
