OIL & LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS

In order for the engine to perform correctly and quietly, it is important that

the chassis be lubricated before operation. Lubrication should include all

truck block bushings and pickup rollers to prevent them from squeaking.

Use light household oil and follow the lubrication points marked “L" in Fig.

4 below.

The locomotive’s internal gearing in both power trucks has been greased at

the factory and shouldn’t need additional grease until after 50 hours of

operation or one year whichever comes first. Grease cannot be added to the

internal gearing until the body is removed from the chassis which is held in

place by six Phillips screws. The screws are located on each end of the

chassis’ as seen in Fig. 5 below. After removing the screws, lift the body

away from the chassis and lay the body next to the chassis.
