Lubricating and Greasing the Engine

Before operating, lubricate all exposed moving parts using a multi-purpose 
oil (available with M.T.H.'s Maintenance Kit, sold separately) or a light 
household oil.  Follow the lubrication points.

Coupling the Engine and Car

Checking the Battery

You may find, if your set was built several months before you set it up, that the 
rechargeable battery has run down and needs to be charged before operating.  If you 
notice that the sounds are garbled, test and charge the engine as described in “Self-
Charging Battery Back-Up" on page 12.
