Storage Between Operating Sessions; Altering Wheel Gauge - roundhouse WILLIAM Owner's Handbook Manual

transmitter batteries are housed in the back of the unit under a clip off panel.
The receiver batteries are housed in the tender as described on page 3.

STORAGE BETWEEN OPERATING SESSIONS

At the end of an operating session, it is good practice to clean the locomotive
carefully with a clean soft cloth, and to oil all bright metal parts.
Do not leave fuel in the gas tank.
Do not leave water in the boiler for long periods.
Do not store in places where the temperature may drop below freezing
as water may still be present in the pipework.
Ensure all controls are closed and the valve gear in mid gear.
Ensure that radio control equipment is switched off and, if the engine is
not to be used for some time, remove all batteries.
Periodically it may be necessary to wash off all traces of dirt and old oil from
the moving parts with paraffin (not thinners). This will remove any
accumulations of dirt or grit. After washing with paraffin, leave to dry
thoroughly overnight before re-oiling. It is most important that clean oil is
applied and allowed to penetrate fully into all moving parts before the
locomotive is run again. Manually moving the locomotive back and forth will
assist in distributing the oil fully. Under normal operating conditions this
procedure should not be required more than once or twice per year.
The wheels are set at the factory for the specified gauge however, for those
who wish to alter this to run on other peoples railways or if you change the
gauge of your track, they are easily reset with the aid of a conversion kit
available separately.
The driving wheels are moveable on their axles and are locked in place by a
small grub screw. They should be adjusted so that the "back to back" gauge
supplied in the kit will just slip between their inner faces.
wheels are evenly spaced relative to each side frame.
Do not over tighten the grub screws particularly on insulated wheels.
The tender wheels and axles are swapped for those of the required gauge by
simply removing the keeper plate from the underside of the tender frame (two
self tapping screws).
