Starting Locomotive Operation; Prior To Initial Commissioning; Running The Model In; Operating Instructions - Roco S 160 2255 USATC Serie Mode D'emploi

▪ Prior to initial commissioning

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

▪ Running the model in

During the first five minutes the locomotive should run at medium speed. Before use is advisable to let the loco
go around about 30 minutes forwards and 30 minutes backwards without load, to obtain and optimal circuit and
best tractive power.

▪ Operating instructions

The smallest radius this model should run is R2 (358 mm) of the Roco track system (model 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.

▪Fittings

Operation is possible with different couplings. We recommend using the Roco close coupling. In the enclosed
accessory bag you will find small kits to be fitted on your locomotive. please mount them cautiously.
