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.
1 below.
Periodically, check the locomotive wheels and for dirt buildup as this can
significantly affect the engine’s ability to perform properly. Dirty track and
dirty wheels can cause both poor electrical contact as well as poor traction,
especially on elevated track sections.
