ALCO PA-1 POWERED DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for purchasing a Williams by Bachmann® locomotive. This locomotive has been manufactured to provide
years of use and enjoyment. Please follow the simple instructions below.
This locomotive has been greased and tested before leaving the factory. Before operating, please lightly lubricate the
points shown in the diagram below. Do not over-lubricate and take extra care to avoid getting lubricants on the wheel
surfaces or traction tires.
1. For the axles and coupler pivot points Marked A, we recommend that you lubricate with a small amount of light
oil such as Bachmann E-Z Lube® #99984 Light Gear Oil. Do not over-lubricate.
2. For areas that require electrical flow, such as roller pick-ups Marked B, please use Bachmann E-Z Lube®
#99981 Conductive Contact Lube. Never use any Teflon® based oil on these areas because this type oil has
insulating properties.
3. For the gears Marked C we recommend that you lubricate with a small amount of heavy gear oil such as
Bachmann E-Z Lube® #99983 Heavy Gear Oil. Do not over-lubricate.
After unpacking the locomotive, make sure that the uncoupling plunger is in the correct position with the pin inserted in
the knuckle (see figure 1). Failure to do so will allow the uncoupling plunger to contact the center rail and a direct short
will occur when power is applied to the track. We recommend using an AC hobby transformer with maximum voltage
output of 18 VAC, a pure or smooth sine wave output, and a wattage rating of at least 80 watts.
Throttle Control
The throttle control will allow you to operate your train at a wide range of speeds. Slowly turn the control knob until you
are familiar with the response of the locomotive that you are operating. Please note that our sound systems require 6 volts
or greater to operate correctly.
