OIL & LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS
In order for the engine to perform correctly and quietly, it is important that
the chassis be lubricated before operation. Lubrication should include all
side rods and linkage components and pickup rollers to prevent them from
squeaking. Use light household oil and follow the lubrication points
marked “L" in Fig. 9 below.
The locomotive’s internal gearing has been greased at the factory and
shouldn’t need additional grease until after 50 hours of operation or one
year whichever comes first. Grease can be added by inserting grease onto
the worm gears inside the locomotive trucks. In order to access these gears,
the body must be removed from the chassis by unscrewing the six chassis
screws as seen in Figure 10 on page 28. When the body has been removed,
the motors must be removed from the trucks by unscrewing the motor
mount screws. Once the motors are free from the trucks, grease can then be
applied onto the worm and drive gears on both the motors and inside the
truck block using a grease dispenser.
