Set Up Checklist

- Lubricate the locomotive

Lubrication

You should lubricate the engine to prevent it from squeaking. Use
light household oil and follow the lubrication points marked "L" in
Fig. 1. Do not over-oil. Use only a drop or two on each pivot point.

Checking the Battery

You may find, if your locomotive was built several months before you set it up,
that the rechargeable battery has run down and needs to be charged before
operating. If you notice that the sounds are garbled, test and charge the engine as
described in the "Self-Charging Battery Back-Up" on page 15.
