Roco BR 141 Electric Locmotive
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 backward 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 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. 5.
A.C. operation: see fig. 11

Maintenance of the model
To enjoy your model for a long time, it is necessary to service it regulary (i.e. after it has been in operation for approximately 30 hours).
-
Cleaning of wheel contacts: Wheel contacts easily get dirty on tracks that are not entirely clean. Use a small brush to remove dirt from spots marked in fig. 7.
-
Lubrication: Apply tiny oil drops to spots marked in fig. 9. Prior to lubrication dismantle the locomotive (fig. 3). We recommend using item no. 10906, ROCO oiler. For lubrication the gearparts (e.g. cogwheels, worm) we would recommend our ROCO special grease (item no. 10905).
Attention: Please do not oil these parts when using our grease. -
Change of traction tyre: Remove the gear cover (fig. 4). Take out the wheelset and remove the traction tyre using a pin or a fine screwdriver (fig. 8). When pressing on the new traction tyre please avoid twisting it.
-
Carbon Brush Changing: First, remove loco body (fig. 3), and then the motor (fig. 10).
Assembly: During assembly please take care of correct position of contacts.
