- Fittings: Operation is possible with different couplings (fig. 2). We recommend using the Roco close coupling.
- Operating instructions: Before use is advisable to let the loco go around about 30 minutes forwards 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).
- Running in digital mode: Remove the jumper from the interface. Finally put the plug of the chip into the interface as shown in fig. 7.
- 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.

FAQ
-
Q: How should I clean the wheel contacts?
A: First remove the gear cover (fig. 4). 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. -
Q: What lubrication should I use for the locomotive?
A: Apply tiny oil drops to spots marked in fig. 8. Prior to lubrication, dismantle the locomotive (fig. 3). We recommend using item no. 10906, Roco oiler. For lubricating the gear parts (e.g. cogwheels, worm), we recommend our Roco special grease (item no. 10905). Please do not oil these parts when using our grease.
