being careful that the wire harnesses are not caught between the chassis and body and

idler and drive gears with grease.

Use the diagram shown in Figure 4

below as a guide and add grease to

the points marked with a “G.”

Periodically check the locomotive

wheels and pickups for dirt and

buildup, which can cause poor

electrical contact and traction and

prematurely wear out the neoprene

traction tires. Wheels and tires can be

cleaned using denatured (not rubbing)

alcohol applied with a cotton swab.

To clean the track, use RailKing Track

Cleaning Fluid and a clean rag or

denatured (not rubbing) alcohol.

Unplug the transformer and wipe the

rails of the track, turning the rag

frequently to ensure that you are using

clean cloth on the rails. Thereafter,

keep an eye on the track and clean it

when it gets dirty to ensure good electrical contact and to lengthen the life of the tires.
