Starting locomotive operation
GB
Unwrap model: Remove the buffer-protecti-
on-platelets and take out the model cautiously
with foil (fig. 1).
Operating instructions: Before use is advisa-
ble to let the loco go around about 30 minutes
forwards an 30 minutes backwards without load,
to obtain an optomal circuit and best tractive po-
wer. The smallest radius this model should run is
R2 (358 mm) of the ROCO track system.
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. 2). 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. 2).
Running in digital mode:
First remoe the locomotive body (Fig. 3). Then re-
move the jumper from the interface. Finally put
the plug of the chip into the interface as shown
in fig. 7.

Maintenance of the model

GB
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. 6. First remove gear cover (fig.
4)
2. Lubrication: Apply tiny oil drops to spots
marked in fig. 5. Prior to lubrication dismantle the
loco body (fig. 3). 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 lights: First remove loco body (fig.
3) and then change lights (fig. 6).
4. Change of traction tyre: Remove bogie
blind (fig. 4). Take out the wheel set and remove
the traction tyre using a pin or a fine screwdri-
ver (fig. 6). When pressing on the new traction tyre
please avoid twisting it.
Assembly: During assembly please take care of
correct position of contacts (fig. 7).
