OIL & LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS
In order for the engine to perform correctly and quietly, it is important that
the chassis be lubricated before operation. Lubrication should include all
truck block bushings and pickup rollers to prevent them from squeaking.
Use light household oil and follow the lubrication points marked “L" in Fig.
6 above.
The locomotive’s internal gearing in both power trucks has been greased at
the factory and should’’t need additional grease until after 50 hours of
operation or one year whichever comes first. Grease cannot be added to the
internal gearing until the body is removed from the chassis which is held in
place by six Phillips screws. The screws are located on each end of the
chassis’ as seen in Fig. 7 below. After removing the screws, lift the body
(by the cab front end first) away from the chassis and lay the body next to
the chassis.
