Product Information

The product is a model train produced by Modelleisenbahn GmbH. The user manual provides instructions for starting locomotive operation, maintenance, and care. The product has different couplings and can be operated in digital mode. It requires regular servicing after approximately 30 hours of operation. The smallest radius this model should run is R2 of the ROCO track system (R2 = 358 mm).

Product Usage Instructions

Starting locomotive operation

  1. Unwrap the model carefully with foil (fig. 1).
  2. Choose the coupling and use the Roco close coupling for operation (fig. 2).
  3. Let the loco go around about 30 minutes forwards and 30 minutes backwards without load to obtain an optimal circuit and best  tractive power.
  4. Mount the small kits provided in the accessory bag cautiously.Use glue only if indicated (fig. 2).
  5. Remove the jumper from the interface for running in digital mode.
  6. Finally put the plug of the chip into the interface.

Maintenance of the model

To enjoy the product for a long time, it is necessary to service it regularly.

  1. Clean the wheel contacts using a small brush on spots marked in fig. 7.
  2. Lubricate using tiny oil drops on spots marked in fig. 5. Prior to lubrication, dismantle the locomotive (fig. 3).
  3. For lubrication of gear parts, use Roco special grease (item no. 10905). Do not oil these parts when using the grease.
  4. To change the traction tyre, remove the gear cover (fig. 6). Take out the wheel set and remove the traction tyre using a pin or a fine screwdriver (fig. 6). Avoid twisting the new traction tyre when pressing it on.

The latest version of the instruction manual can be found on our website under downloads at the article.

Starting locomotive operation

Unwrap model: Take out the model cautiously with foil (fig. 1).

Operating instructions: Before use is advisable to let the loco go around about 30 minutes for-wards an 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, Rocco track cleaning rubber, for removing heavy dirt.

Fittings: Operation is possible with different couplings (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.
Attention! Use glue only if indicated (fig. 2).

Running in digital mode:
Remove the jumper from the interface.
Finally put the plug of the chip into the interface as shown in fig. 4.

Maintenance Guide

To enjoy your model for a long time, it is 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. 7.
    Rh-1142-Electric-Locomotive-11

  2. Lubrication: Apply tiny oil drops to spots marked in fig. 5. Prior to lubrication dismantle locomotive (fig. 3). We recommend using item no. 10906, Roco oiler. For lubrication the gear parts (e.g. cogwheels, worm) we would recommended our Roco special grease (item no. 10905).
    Attention: Please do not oil these parts when using our grease.

Locomotive-6

  3. Change of traction tyre: Remove the gear cover (fig. 6). Take out wheel set and remove traction tyre using a pin or a fine screwdriver (fig. 6). When pressing on the new traction tyre please avoid twisting it.

  4. Motor Changing: First remove loco body (fig. 3), and then the motor (fig. 8).

Assembly: During assembly please take care of correct position of contacts.

Don‘t throw your box in the dustbin. If your model is not in use this box will keep it safe. If kits  are mounted on a wagon it will be slightly tight when placing it in the original box. This guarantees safe transport. It is therefore recommended to cut out certain parts of the original box. To keep the model like the original, smaller parts (e.g. buffers) had been manufactured separately from the body and are not tightly fixed on it. Therefore they probably can get lost. In this case you certainly may reorder them but  a complaint would not be acceptable.

Safety instructions: This product may only be used in closed rooms. Do not expose the model to direct sunlight, severe temperature fluctuations or high air humidity.
