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.
Operating instructions: Before use is advisa-
ble to let the loco go around about 30 minutes
forwards an 30 minutes backwards without load,
to obtain an optomal circuit and best tractive po-
wer. The smallest radius this model should run is
R2 (358 mm) of the ROCO track system.
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. 2). 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. 2).
Running in digital mode: First remove loco
body (fig. 3). Then remove the jumper from the
interface. Finally put the plug of the decoder into
the interface as shown in fig. 5.

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. 6.
2. Lubrication: Apply tiny oil drops to spots
marked in fig. 4. We recommend using item no.
10906, Roco oiler.
3. Removing loco body: Remove screw. Tilt
up the front of the loco body pulling it backwards
from the retaining clips (fig. 3)
4. Motor: The motor is maintenance free.
