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. 6).
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
(228,2 mm) of the ROCO-N 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 cou-
plings (Fig. 2).
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 remove the body (Fig. 4). Then remove the
jumper from the interface. Finally put the plug of
the chip into the interface as shown in Fig. 3.

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. 5.
2. Lubrication: Apply tiny oil drops to spots
marked in Fig. 6. Prior to lubrication dismantle the
loco body or the tender body (Fig. 4).
We recommend using item no. 10906, Roco oi-
ler. 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. Moto changing: First remove locomotive
body (Fig. 4), and then the motor (Fig. 5).
Assembly: During assembly please take care of
correct position of contacts (Fig. 3).
