Lubrication
Lubricants: always use quality lubricants!
Light oil such as Labelle #108 or Whal Clipper Oil
Heavy lubricant such as Labelle #102 heavy gear oil or Label grease
Prepare the engine for lubrication by placing the model gently on the work surface on a
piece of foam sheet or soft towel to protect the locomotive finish. The engine should
be on its side. Be careful to keep lubrication off the painted surfaces as this causes
shiny areas.
1.
First lube the bushings on the driver journals with a small amount of heavy lube oil.
The oil is easily applied with a wood tooth pick.
2.
Next lube the U-Joints and tender journals with light machine oil.
3.
Next lube the CRANK SHAFT JOURNALS, MAIN ROD BEARINGS AND
CROSSHEAD with light machine oil.
4.
THE MAIN GEAR BOX IS LUBRICATED IN THE FACTORY. NO LUBRICATION IS
NECESSARY WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR MODEL. To lube the main gear box, remove
the cover of the gear box carefully (make sure you familiarize your self with the position of
all parts). Place the screws in a small container to prevent loss. Grease the gearing and
shaft bearings generously. Replace the cover exactly the way it was when you started.
It is a good idea to wipe off all excess light oil when you complete the lubrication process.
You have now completed the lubrication of your Accucraft “Consolidation”.
THIS LUBRICATION SHOULD BE REPEATED EVERY 25 HOURS OF OPERATION!
