Starting locomotive operation

Unwrap model: Take the loco carefully out of
the packing with the help of the foil (fig. 1).
Very important!
Before taking into service your model these
bearings of the coupling rods must be oiled as
otherwise there would be the risk of bad run-
ning qualities of dramage on he locomotive (see
fig. 10).
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 R3
(419,6 mm) or rather R2 (358 mm) of the ROCO
track system (model without tubes protection pis-
tons would run only if driven very carefully on R2)
(fig. 2).
Your locomotive will run smoothly on clean tracks
only. For this purpose we recommend using item
no. 46400, ROCO track cleaning van, or item
no. 10002, ROCO track cleaning rubber, for
removing heavy dirt.

Fittings: Operation is possible with different
couplings (fig. 3). We recommend using the ROCO
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. 3).
Running in digital mode: First remove loco
body (fig. 7). Then remove the jumper from the
interface. Finally put the plug of the chip into the
interface as shown in fig. 8.

Maintenance of the model

To enjoy your model for a long time, it is necessary
to service it regulary (i.e. after it has been in op-
eration for approximately 30 hours).
1. Cleaning of wheel contacts: Wheel con-
tacts easily get dirty on tracks which are not en-
tirely clean. Use a small brush to remove dirt
from spots marked in fig. 4.
2. Lubrication: Apply tiny oil drops to spots
marked in fig. 10. Prior to lubrication dismantle the
loco body (fig. 7). We recommend using item no.
10906, Roco oiler. For lubrication the gearparts
(e.g. cogwheels, worm) we would recommended
our Roco special grease (item no. 10905).
Attention: Please do not oil these parts when
using our grease.
3. Steam generator application (fig. 5): First
remove the loco body (fig. 7) and then push in the
Seuthe steam generator no. 10 (running in digital
mode: use no.11).
Observe manufacturer's instructions!
4. Change of traction tyre: First pull out crank
shaft pin (fig. 6). Take out the wheel set and
remove the traction tyre using a pin or a fine
screwdriver (fig. 6). When pressing on the new
traction tyre please avoid twisting it.
5. Carbon Brush Changing: First remove loco
body (fig. 7), and then the motor (fig. 9).
Assembly: During assembly please take care of
correct position of contacts (fig. 8).
