To begin, take your Bachmann E-Z Lube® Heavy Duty Gear Oil and place one or two
drops on the motor shaft and gearbox. Angle the applicator through the rear lubrication
port on the bottom of the chassis to reach beyond the drive axle and into the gearbox
centered in front of the rear axle (Figure 2).
Next, put a drop or two of heavy-duty plastic-compatible
gear oil onto the main axle gear which is the gear that is
visible in the access port (Figure 3).
While in this same area, place a small amount of
E-Z Lube® Heavy Duty Gear Grease through the access port
into the gearbox and onto the main gear. This lubricant will
not “sling off” or dissipate at high running temperatures.
The best method to apply the grease is by using a thin
wooden applicator, such as a toothpick or dowel (Figure 4).
Next, put a drop of Heavy Gear Oil on each side of
the pillow block bearings, where each of the three drive
axles rest in the locomotive frame (Figure 5).
