Starting locomotive operation

GB
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 be oiled
as otherwise there would be the risk of bad
running qualities or damage on the locomotive
(see fig. 7).
Operating instructions: Before use is advisable
to let the loco go around about 30 minutes for-
wards and 30 minutes backwards without load, to
obtain an optimal circuit and best tractive power.
The smallest radius this model should run is R3
(419,6 mm) of the ROCO track system or rather
R2 of the ROCO track system (model without
tubes protecting pistons, 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 remo-
ving heavy dirt.
Fittings: Operation is possible with different cou-
plings (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. 4). Then remove the jumper from the interfa-
ce. Finally put the plug of the chip into the inter-
face as shown in fig. 6.

A. C. operation: see fig. 11 + (I-XII).

Maintenance of the model

GB
To enjoy your locomotive for a long time, it is
necessary to service it regularly (i.e. after it has
been in operation for approximately 30 hours).
1. Cleaning of wheel contacts: Wheel contacts
easily get dirty on tracks which are not entirely
clean. Use a small brush to remove dirt from
spots marked in fig. 8.
2. Lubrication: Apply tiny oil drops to spots
marked in fig. 7. We recommend using item no.
10906, Roco oiler. For lubrication the gear-parts
(e.g. cog-wheels, worm) we would recommend
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 smokestack and then push in the
Seuthe steam generator no. 10 (running in digital

tyre using a pin or a fine screwdriver. When pres-
sing on the new traction tyre please avoid twi-
sting it (fig. 9).
5. Carbon Brush Changing: First remove loco
body (fig. 4), and then the motor (fig. 10).
