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 Labelle
grease.
Prepare the engine for lubrication by placing
the model gently on the work surface. To
protect the locomotive finish, place the
engine on a piece of foam sheet or soft
towel. The engine should be placed on its
side. Be careful to keep the lubricant off of
the painted surfaces, as this can leave a
shiny appearance on the area it touches.
1.
First lube the bearings on the driver
journals with a small amount of light lube
oil. The oil is easily applied with a wood
tooth pick.
2.
Next lube the U-Joints with heavy
lube 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 FULLY
LUBRICATED AT THE FACTORY. NO
LUBRICATION IS NECESSARY WHEN
YOU RECEIVE YOUR MODEL. To lube the
main gear box, remove the cover of the

container to prevent losing them. 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”.
