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 and avoid getting lubricant on flat surface of
pickup roller. 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 16.
