Starting Locomotive Operation; Prior To Initial Commissioning; Running The Model In; Operating Instructions - Roco BR 03.10 DR Manuel

▪ Prior to initial commissioning

In order to prevent poor running characteristics or damage from occurring, the coupling rod
bearings on your locomotive must be oiled prior to undertaking the initial commissioning. We
recommend using the ROCO oiler 10906

▪ Running the model in

Before use advisable to let the loco go around about 30 forwards and 30 minutes backwards
without load, to obtain an optimal circuit and best tractive power

Starting locomotive operation

The smallest radius this model should run is
R2 (358 mm) of the ROCO track system (mo-
del without tubes protecting pistons). 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.
