EFE Rail Class J94 Locomotive Technical manual

Class J94 Locomotive
Owner’s Information
Thank you for purchasing this EFE Rail Class J94 model locomotive. This highly detailed working replica
will give you years of pleasure and reliable operation if it is handled with care and regularly serviced.
This locomotive is a carefully engineered scale model, and will require a short period of running in time
before operating at its best. Run for about half an hour at a moderate speed in each direction to allow
the gears in the mechanism to bed in for smooth operation.
Motor: Coreless
Decoder: Next18 DCC Decoder
After every 24 hours of operation,
your locomotive will require
light lubrication to keep it in top
operating condition. Use a plastic
compatible lubricant suitable for
models carefully applied to the
gear train and connector rods.
Please take care when removing your model from its packaging, as EFE models incorporate many small
parts.
Run your model on track laid on a rm surface - not on carpet – to avoid dust and bres entering the
working parts of your model.
Care must be taken to clean and maintain your model for optimum performance. When required, wipe
the rails and exposed portions of your locomotive’s wheels with a soft, lint-free cloth or cotton swab
to ensure good electrical contact. Do not use steel wool to clean your track. Take care to avoid scenic
material from the layout entering the mechanism.
