TOOL KIT
The following items are included with your locomotive.
One 60m1 bottle of special steam oil for use in the cylinder lubricator.
One 60m1 syringe with plastic tube for filling the boiler with water.
One set of spare washers and '0' rings.
One spare gas jet.
One Allen key for cylinder socket cap screws.
One pair of protective gloves.
One cleaning duster.
RUNNING IN
All locomotives are extensively test run before leaving the factory, but they
will still require a certain amount of running in when new, to overcome initial
tightness and allow valves etc. to 'bed in'.
ACCESS TO THE CONTROLS
For normal operation, all controls are accessible without the need to remove
any part of the locomotive, however, to give access to the gas tank when fill-
ing, the cab roof hinges up. Care should be taken when opening the cab roof.
Gently grasp either side of the roof hinge and firstly lift the hinge vertically
upwards. This will lift the hinge clear of the cab, and allow the roof to then tilt
to the side.
The gas regulator is accessible through the rear of the cab and on manual con-
trol engines, the steam regulator is accessible through the right hand cab door-
way and reversing lever through the left hand cab doorway.
The radio control receiver, batteries and switch are housed in the tender and
access to batteries and receiver is by lifting the dummy coal or wood load.
COUPLING ENGINE AND TENDER
The tender has a steel pin under the front which should be fitted into one of
the two holes in the draw bar from the engine. Use the first hole for close cou-
pling if running on large radius curves, or the second hole if curves are tight.
On radio controlled versions, the servo leads pass through the rear buffer
beam and should be coupled to the leads from the tender.
