Starting locomotive operation Maintenance of the model
Unwrap model: Take out the model cautiously
with foil (g. 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
g. 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 of
the N track system (R2 = 228,2 mm).
Your locomotive will run smoothly on clean tracks
only. For this purpose we recommend using item
no. 10002, ROCO track cleaning rubber, for
removing heavy dirt.
To enjoy your model for a long time, it is necessary
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 g. 4.
2. Lubrication: Apply tiny oil drops to spots
marked in g. 6. Prior to lubrication dismantle lo-
comotive (g. 2). 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. Carbon Brush Changing: First remove loco
body (g. 2), and then the motor (g. 5).
Assembly: During assembly please take care of
correct position of contacts.
