Ongoing Maintenance Activities:
Apply the following recommendations as needed.
Cleaning Wheels:
Use a small amount of rubbing alcohol as needed to remove most normal build up on wheels. The
frequency of wheel cleaning can vary depending on factors such as track condition, duration of
running time, etc.
External Lubrication:
Using high quality plastic compatible lubricating oil, carefully (but sparingly) lubricate all moving
parts of the external side rod assembly. Lubricating the drive axles at their bearings is also
recommended. Always avoid excessive lubrication and remove any excess oil prior to normal
operation of the locomotive.
Internal Driver Set – Gear Lubrication:
After extended operational service, inspect and lubricate the drive gears in each driver set with high
quality plastic compatible gear oil or light grease. Again, light application of the lubricant is best. An
experienced modeler or technician should perform the drive gear lubrication as removal and
reassembly of the driver set cover plates and brake gear detail is required to access these components.
Drive Motor:
The Drive Motor in this locomotive is permanently lubricated and requires no additional lubrication.
