Lubricating the Locomotive
Use motor oil (10W-40 or 10W-30) for lubrication. Apply oil sparingly, using
a toothpick or similar applicator. Before beginning, please be sure to have
several toothpicks and cotton swabs handy to apply oil and clean up the excess.
Familiarize yourself with the location of the oiling points (see Fig. 2 on page
4) before beginning. Apply oil before operating and after every seven hours of
operation.
Lubricating the Wheel Gears (Fig. 2, #1)
Slowly turn the drive wheels by hand and apply oil to the wheel gears until all
teeth on all four gears are moist. Wipe away excess oil with a cotton swab.
Lubricating the Intermediate Gears (Fig. 2, #2)
Slowly turn the drive wheels by hand and oil the six intermediate gears until all
gear teeth are moist. Note: Four gears are double-gears: both sets of teeth
should be oiled. Wipe away excess oil with a cotton swab.
Lubricating the Ends of the Armature Shafts (Fig. 2, #3)
On the geared end of the armature shafts: place a single drop of oil at the point
where the shafts just protrude through the bearings.
On the other end of the armature shafts: place a single drop of oil where the
shafts extend through the insulating plate between the brass brush holders. Do
not put oil on the brush holders.
Wipe away excess oil with a cotton swab.
Lubricating the Drive Axles (Fig. 2, #4)
Position one end of the locomotive downward so that you can see one of the
drive axles on each motor. Using a toothpick or length of wire, carefully apply
two drops of oil to the axles at all four bronze bearings.
Turn the locomotive around so that you can see the other two drive axles.
Carefully apply two drops of oil on the axles at the bronze bearings.
Lubricating the Pickup Rollers (Fig. 2, #5)
Apply a small drop of oil at the axles of the pickup rollers. Wipe away excess
oil with a cotton swab. The rolling surface should be free of oil.
