Lubricating and Greasing Instructions

The engine should be well oiled and greased in order to run properly.
Regularly lubricate all axles and pickup rollers to prevent squeaking.
Use light household oil, such as that found in M.T.H.'s maintenance
kit. Do not over oil. Use only a drop or two on each pivot point.
Lubricate All Wheel Axles (L)
Lubrication Points on the locomotive
The locomotive's internal gearing was greased at the factory and should not need
additional grease until after 50 hours of operation or one year, whichever comes
first. Remove the two grease port screws (two per gearbox). Use a grease tube
dispenser and put a small amount (Approx. 1-2 mL.) of lithium-based grease into
each grease port. Replace the screws.
