Class 26

THIS MODEL NEEDS OILING BEFORE USE:

Whilst this model has been pre-lubricated at manufacture, the factory applied lubrication may

have dried out during transit or storage. Therefore please lubricate the visible gears on the

underside and test run before use using a proprietary lubrication. Your local model shop will be

able to advise you in this, however Dapol also sell recommended locomotive oil.

If under test your locomotive is sluggish, or excessively noisy (remembering with proper lubrica-

tion and running in it will quieten down considerably), then you may wish to lubricaste the worms

and their associated bearings. This can easily be done by unclipping the bogie from the chassis

as shown in the accompanying diagram.

Please remember to run your locomotive in for 30 minutes in each direction after lubrication, and

the failure to lubricate your locomotive will result in a voided warranty.

Page 3: Important Instructions
RUNNING IN' YOUR LOCOMOTIVE: You will obtain quieter and smoother performance from your Dapol locomotive if you invest a little time 'running in' the motor and the motion parts. We recommend that you begin the 'running in' period by operating the locomotive on its own, at a moderate speed, for a period of at least half an hour in each direction.
Page 4: Dcc Operation
We have designed this model to have independent control of front and rear lamps. For best operation, we recom- mend a 4 function (or greater) decoder is fitted (for example a 6 function Dapol lmperium Next-18) to your model. If you have purchased the Dapol factory fitted decoder it has been fitted with a pre-programmed lmperium decoder (Please refer to separate DCC operation instructions supplied).
Page 6 When refitting, ensure that the gear on top of the bogie tower meshes with the worm. EUROPEAN REGULATIONS: Dapol products conform to WEEE and RoHS requirements. If you have a need to dispose of any electrical part, please do so correctly.
