IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS. PLEASE READ BEFORE USE.
Controller
This locomotive is fitted with a coreless motor and is designed to work on the more modern
proprietary DC controllers and any DCC system (when fitted with a suitable 6 pin decoder).
As such Feedback controllers, PWM or controllers older than 10 years old may not be
compatible and indeed it is possible you could cause damage to the electrical components
on the model.
Electronic track cleaners
In our experience, the use of electronic track cleaners can cause intereference with modern
motors and, in some extreme cases, cause failure of components. We do not recommend
the use of electronic track cleaners with this product.
Before use
This locomotive requires lubricating before use otherwise you may find your model is a little
noisy or slightly rough out of the box.
Run at a medium speed for 15 minutes in either direction and your locomotive should start
to bed in. Do not run at high speeds and do not stop by turning off the power, reduce speed
gradually. Do not run on carpet or other floor coverings as dust and hairs can cause a lot of
damage to mechanisms.
Lubricant should be applied to the gears
seen under the 2 holes on the bottom of
the locomotive.
