Roco H0 Series Steam Locomotive Class 86 User Manual
Starting locomotive operation
Unwrap model: Take the loco carefully out of the packing with the help of the foil (fig. 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 dramage on he locomotive (see fig. 10).
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 R3 (419,6 mm) or rather R2 (358 mm) of the ROCO track system (model without tubes protection pis- tons would run only if driven very carefully on R2 ) (fig. 2).
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 (fig. 3). 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. 3).
__
Running in digital mode:
First remove loco body (fig. 6). Then remove the jumper from the interface. Finally put the plug of the chip into the interface as shown in fig. 8.
A.C. operation: see fig. 11
