Set Up Checklist
- Lubricate the locomotive
- Check to see whether the battery needs to be charged for full sound effects
- Apply power to run as described in the Basic Operating Section of this manual.
Lubrication
You should lubricate the engine to prevent it from squeaking. Use
light household oil and follow the lubrication points marked “L” in
Fig. 1. Do not over-oil. Use only a drop or two on each pivot point.
Checking the Battery
You may find, if your locomotive 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
the "Self-Charging Battery Back-Up" on page 12.
