Starting locomotive operation
Operating conditions: We recommend running
the model in a forward direction for 30 minutes
and in reverse for 30 minutes in an unloaded con-
dition so that your model can establish ideal con-
centricity and the best possible tensile force.
The vehicles are equipped with moving, suspen-
ded skirts in the area of the couplings. This means
that all track radii greater than approx. 355 mm
can be navigated. In order to ensure smooth run-
ning, the multiple unit is not equipped with bogie
skirts. A bogie skirt set is enclosed with the packa-
ge. You can install these skirts in order to achieve
an appearance of the multiple unit that is true to
the original (Fig. 4). Attention: No radii below
approx. 540 mm can be navigated when the bo-
gie skirts are assembled.
The smooth operation of your locomotive is only
guaranteed on clean rails. For this purpose, we
recommend the ROCO rail-cleaning wagon,
Art. No. 46400 and, when dealing with more
dirt, the ROCO rubber, Art. No. 10002.
Coupling / decoupling: Both of the traction
cars are free from drive and only serve to consume
power from the multiple unit. The drive is located
in the centre wagon without restaurant and is ap-
plied to all 4 axles. All vehicles are equipped with
a conductive 2-pin plug-in connector (4 contacts,
of which only 2 are connected). The coupling bus-
hes are located at the ends of the traction cars and
the coupling connectors are located at the end of
the two motor coaches. Each further middle wa-
gon is equipped with a coupling bush at one end
and a coupling connector at the other end.
The correct arrangement of bushes and connectors
must be observed during the coupling process (see
Fig. 1a). Place the vehicles on a straight track and
carefully push together until the connector and
bush engage and the coupling locks into place.
If the coupling connector and the coupling bush
are pushed too far down during the connection
process and do not lock into place, please resist
10
this movement from beneath by using a suitable
object (see Fig. 1b).
In order to disconnect the power car, pull the ve-
hicles apart on the track until the coupling unlocks
and the connector and bush have been separated.
Double traction: As is the case with the origi-
nal, two power cars can also be be coupled with
the model (Fig. 2a). In order to do so, remove the
front caps from the traction cars and connect two
traction cars using a coupling rod (not included in
delivery) or PROFI coupling (not included in deli-
very).
When dealing with the long coupling rod or the
PROFI coupling, leave the coupling adapter in the
rear position.
When dealing with the short coupling rod, move
the coupling adapter into the front position (see
Fig. 2b).
Attention: In double traction mode, it is not pos-
sible to navigate radii smaller than approx. 540
mm or counter-curves, points with counter-points
or double diamond points, etc. Risk of derailment!
Installation of a PluX16 decoder in the
middle wagon with motor: Remove the
housing in order to install a digital decoder (Fig.
3). Remove the bridging plug Z. Insert the 16-pin
decoder plug into the interface whilst paying at-
tention to the coding pin (Fig. 5). The coding pin
*
is marked with a
on the circuit board. Re-seal
the vehicle.
Installation of function decoders in the
traction cars without motor: Remove the
housing in order to install a digital function de-
coder (Fig. 3). Remove the bridging plug Y. Solder
the 6-pin plug (spare part number 00666846) to
the strands of the function decoder (Fig. 7a) and
insert into the interface. In doing so, pay attention
to the position of the marking „1" or the coloured
dot (Fig. 7b). Re-seal the vehicle. The multiple unit
can now be operated under the address „3".

Maintenance
In order to ensure that your model provides you
with many years of pleasure, certain service
work at regular intervals (approx. every 30 ope-
rating hours) is required.
1. Cleaning the locomotive wheels: If dirty,
the running surfaces of the wheels must be cle-
aned using clean cloths or a track cleaning
rubber. Never spin the driven wheels by
hand; only drive them by applying a running vol-
tage via connecting wires. Non-driven wheels may
be spun by hand. This ROCO model locomotive
may only be operated using the intended running
voltage (max. 14 V).
2. Lubrication: Only apply small oil droplets
onto the positions as marked in the lubrication
plan in Fig. 8. In order to do so, first remove the lo-
comotive housing (Fig. 3). We recommend ROCO
oiler Art. No. 10906. In order to lubricate the
transmission parts (gear wheel, screw), we recom-
mend using ROCO special grease 10905. If
lubricated, do not oil these parts.
3. Traction tyre replacement: First undo the
gear covers on the snap fits in sequence using
a small screwdriver or knife and remove the cover
(Fig. 6). Then take out the gear set and then remo-
ve traction tyres using a needle or a thin screwdri-
ver (Fig. 6). When applying the new traction tyres,
ensure that they do not rotate.
4. Replacement motor with flywheel: Re-
move the housing in order to install the replace-
ment motor (Fig. 3). The motor is then removed
and replaced. Attention: We recommend only ar-
ranging for the motor to be replaced by your spe-
cialist dealer or a ROCO Service Partner.
5. Programming the decoder: Retrofitted DCC
decoders and function decoders may only be indi-
vidually programmed or read out individually! This
means that each traction car without motor must
be programmed individually. In order to program,
the decoder in the middle wagon requires a trac-
tion car for the power consumption. However, the
function decoder must be removed in advance.
Attention: If the power is only consumed by
the leading multiple unit end (Fig. 5), the pow-
er consumption must briefly be switched to ON
using DIP switches for the programming/reading
process and then switched back to OFF following
the programming/reading process. Otherwise the
power consumption is switched off via the relay
and the motor wagon decoder cannot be read and
programmed.
Assembly: Pay attention to the correct position
of the contacts during assembly.
Information:
This multiple unit is not designed for functional
overhead line operation! The pantographs are
only dummies. The two traction cars are equipped
with maintenance-free LED headlights. Depending
on the direction of travel, the headlights auto-
matically switch from forwards (white) to reverse
(red). The vehicles are not equipped with interior
lighting. There are no plans for the retrospective
installation of interior lighting.
Function decoders are required so that the swit-
chover of the red/white lights on the traction cars
also works in DCC mode. If the function decoders
are not used, all headlights remain constantly illu-
minated in DCC mode.
