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 damage on the locomotive (see
fig. 11).
Operating instructions: Before use is advis-
able to let the loco go around about 30 minutes
forwards 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 protec-
tion pistons 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 Tender body (fig. 8). Then remove the
jumper from the interface. Finally put the plug of
the chip into the interface as shown in fig. 4.
A.C. pick up: see fig. 14

Maintenance of the model

To enjoy your model for a long time, it is neces-
sary to service it regulary (i.e. after it has been in
operation for approximately 30 hours). Uncouple
locomotive and tender first (fig. 6).
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. 12.
2. Lubrication: Apply tiny oil drops to spots
marked in fig. 11. Prior to lubrication dismantle
the loco body or the tender body (fig. 7, fig. 8).
We recommend using item no. 10906, Roco oil-
er. 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).
4. Change of traction tyre: Remove bogie
blind. Take out the wheel set and remove the
traction tyre using a pin or a fine screwdriver
(fig. 13). When pressing on the new traction tyre
please avoid twisting it.
5. Carbon Brush Changing: First remove ten-
der body (fig. 8), and then the motor (fig. 9).
Assembly: During assembly please take care of
correct position of contacts (fig. 4).
