Starting locomotive operation
Unwrap model: Take out the model cautiously
with foil (fig. 1).
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 R2 of
the ROCO track system (R2 = 358 mm).
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.
Note:
When putting the device into operation, ensure that there is secure contact between the wheels and the rail.
Capacitors will be charged for a few seconds!
Note:
Due to the storage capacitors, the locomotive continues to travel a little way after the STOP button has
been pressed.
In your control system (Z21 multiMAUS, Z21 WLANMAUS, Z21 Maintenance Tool and
Z21 APP), the STOP button function can be reprogrammed from "Track voltage OFF" to "Emergency
stop". For this purpose, please observe the operating instructions for your control system.
After reprogramming in every individual control device in your control system, the locomotive will stop
immediately when you press the STOP button.
To stop the loco earlier, CV 153 can be programmed.
This CV states how long the locomotive should continue to run in tenths of a second (0-255) if no more
DCC signals are received.
Note:
In order to avoid damage to the digital couplings, please do not simultaneously activate both cou-
plings. The "shunting-decoupling function" can be programmed with CV 116.
The "shunting-decoupling function" is deactivated with CV 116 = 0.

Fittings: Operation is possible with different cou-
plings (fig. 2). Remove the gear cover (fig. 7).
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).
A.C. operation: see fig. 9

limited extent.

Maintenance of the model

To enjoy your model for a long time, it is necesary
to service it regulary (i.e. after it has been in ope-
ration for approximately 30 hours).
1. Cleaning of wheel contacts: Wheel cont-
acts easily get dirty on tracks which are not enti-
rely 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. 5. Prior to lubrication remove the
gear cover (fig. 6). 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. Change of traction tyre: Remove the gear
cover (fig. 7). Take out wheel set and remove
traction tyre using a pin or a fine screwdriver
(fig. 8). When pressing on the new traction tyre
please avoid twisting it.
4. Change of Motor: The change of the motor
requires fine mechanical knowledge. Please cont-
act your Roco dealer or a specialist workshop.
