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. 10).
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 R3
(419,6 mm) or rather R2 (358 mm) of the ROCO
track system (model without tubes protection pis-
tons 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).
To guarantee a safe transport of your loco-
motive the tender is packed separately. To be able
to run your model, couple tender and locomotive
together (fig. 4).

Maintenance of the model

To enjoy your model for a long time, it is neces-
ary to service it regulary (i.e. after it has been in
operation for approximately 30 hours). Uncouple
locomotive and tender first (fig. 4).
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. 11.
2. Lubrication: Apply tiny oil drops to spots
marked in fig. 10. Prior to lubrication dismantle
the loco body or the tender body (fig. 5,, fig. 5).
We recommend using item no. 10906, ROCO oi-
ler. For lubrication the gearparts (e.g. cogwheels,
worm) we would recommended our ROCO speci-
al grease (item no. 10905).
Attention: Please do not oil these parts when
using our grease.
3. Change of lights: First remove loco body and
the tender body (fig. 5, fig. 5) and then change
lights (fig. 6, fig. 6).
4. Change of traction tyre: Remove tender
gear cover. Take out the wheel set and remove
the traction tyre using a pin or a fine screwdri-
ver (fig. 7+8). When pressing on the new traction
tyre please avoid twisting it.
5. Carbon Brush Changing: First remove ten-
der body (fig. 5), and then the motor (fig. 9).
Assembly: During assembly please take care of
correct position of contacts (fig. 12).
