Care of the Remote Control
Your RailKing Remote Control System should offer years of trouble-free
service. There are a few things you can do to ensure trouble-free operation:
• If your train responds inconsistently, replace old batteries with fresh ones.
Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Remove batteries before storing for extended periods.
• Do not drop the remote. It can damage the delicate electronics inside.
Lubrication and Greasing Instructions
The engine should be oiled and greased in order to run properly.
You should regularly lubricate 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. Do not over oil. Use only
a drop or two on each pivot point.
