Service and Care of Your Model
You do not have to open the motor coach to lu-
bricate the drive screw. Instead, it is sufficient to
remove the roof component (
D) as shown in Fig-
ure 4. Then you can see the drive screw (S) and
can oil it. Please remember that the motor coach
has a motor and gear in both end wagons. Then
move the motor coach back and forth a little bit to
evenly distribute the oil. Use a commercially avail-
able oiler with a precision hollow needle or a pin.
Caution: do not use salad oil or skin crème. No
more service is needed. We also do not recom-
mend separating the individual units for whatever
reason.

Installation of a Next 18 decoder
It is advisable to have your specialist stockist or a service workshop install a decoder. For all those who wish to
carry out the installation themselves, follow the following instructions.
The FLIRT model has a Next 18 decoder port
(J). Consult Fig. 2 coach unit A. The installed interface board con-
tains the switching circuit for the stop function. If you wish to convert to digital operation by installing a decoder,
the stop function is deactivated. The Next 18 decoder can be installed at this interface via simple insertion. The
interface board must be removed first for this.
When installing the decoder it is advisable to remove the housing of Unit
A from its bogies. Proceed as shown in
Fig. 5 by loosening the screw (X) and pulling the head (K) of the housing forwards. You can then clip the housing
out by splaying
(Y) and removing upwards (Z). The housing is refitted by following the procedure in reverse.
