Starting locomotive operation
GB
Unwrap model: Take out loco cautiously using
foil (fig. 1).
Operating instructions: Before use is advisable
to let the loco go around about 30 minutes for-
wards and 30 minutes backwards without load, to
obtain an optimal circuit and best tractive power.
The smallest radius this model should run is R2 of
the ROCO track system (R2 = 358 mm).
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 remo-
ving heavy dirt.
Fittings: Operation is possible with different cou-
plings (fig. 2). 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 (fig. 2).
Attention! Use glue only if indicated.
Current pickup: As delivered the locomotive is
set current pickup from the rails (fig. 6). For cur-
rent pickup from overhead the switch-over must
be done as shown in fig. 6.
Remove housing to do this (fig. 3).
Running in digital mode: First necessarily
switch to operation with current pickup from the
wheels (fig. 6). Then remove the jumper from the
interface. Finally put the plug of the chip into the
interface as shown in fig. 7.

Maintenance of the model
GB
Attention! Don't crack the flatcables.
To enjoy your locomotive for a long time, it ist
necessary to service it regularly (i.e. after it has
been in operation for approximately 30 hours).
1. Cleaning of wheel contacts: Wheel contacts
easily get dirty on tracks which are not entirely
clean. Use a small brush to remove dirt from
spots marked in fig. 5. First remove loco body
(fig. 3).
➭ Assembly
2. Lubrication: Apply tiny oil drops to spots
marked in fig. 9. Prior to lubrication dismantle
locomotive (fig. 3). We recommend using item no.
10906, Roco oiler. For lubrication the gear-parts
(e.g. cog-wheels, worm - fig. 4) we would recom-
mend our Roco special grease (item no. 10905).
Attention: Please do not oil these parts when
using our grease.
