Maintenance of the model
Unwrap model:
Take out the model cautiously
with foil (fig. 1).
Operating instructions:
Before use is advisab-
le to let the loco go around about 30 minutes for-
wards an 30 minutes backwards without load, to
obtain an optomal circuit and best tractive power.
The smallest radius this model should run is
R2
of
the ROCO track system (R2 = 358 mm).
Your locomotive will run smoothly on clean tracks
only. For this purpose we recommend using item

close coupling.
In the enclosed accessory bag you will find small
kits to be fitted on your locomotive. Please
mount
them cautiously.
Attention!
Use glue only if indicated (fig. 2).
Running in digital mode:
Remove the jumper from the interface.
Finally put the plug of the chip into the interface
as shown in fig. 8.
To enjoy your model for a long time, it is neces-
ary to
service
it regulary (i.e. after it has been in
ope-ration for approximately 30 hours).
