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
remo-ving heavy dirt.

will find small kits to be fitted on your locomotive.
Please mount them cautiously.
Attention! Use glue only if indicated (fig. 2).
Running in digital mode:
Remove the jumper from the interface.
Finally put the plug of the chip into the interface
as shown in fig. 6.

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
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. 3.
2. Lubrication: Apply tiny oil drops to spots
marked in fig. 7. Prior to lubrication dismantle lo-
comotive (fig. 3). We recommend using item no.
10906, Roco oiler. For lubrication the gearparts
(e.g. cogwheels, worm) we whould 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. 8). 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.
