Bachmann Branchline Class 03 Owner's Manual

Welcome
Many thanks for purchasing one of our Bachmann Branchline Class 03 Diesel Shunter Locomotives. A lot of care
was taken producing your model and we hope you enjoy it for many years to come.
Please note: This model has been designed to run on curves of no less than 2nd Radius (438mm). We recommend
that you don't use anything smaller as this may result in the model derailing.
1. Accessories
Although our models are highly
detailed and ready to run straight
from the box we also supply
optional accessories to be fitted by
the owner if they wish.
Buffer Beam Plate (Fig.1)
Remove the Standard Coupling
from its mount and push fit the
Buffer Beam Plate into place.
There's a corresponding part for
the cab end of the locomotive too.
2. Running-in
It is necessary that this Locomotive is 'run-in' to allow the mechanism and gears to settle. This requires the model
to be run without a load (wagons, coaches, etc.) for 30 minutes in each direction at half speed.
3. Lubrication
All Bachmann Branchline Locomotives are supplied ready lubricated and can be used straight from the box.
Over time your locomotive will require some additional lubrication, when will depend on the frequency of use
and storage, so please inspect your model on a regular basis.
All moving parts of the connecting rods will occasionally need oiling. Apply a single drop of oil to the areas
indicated in pink below (fig.2) and to the corresponding points on the other side.
