CLEANING AND MAINTENACE
Care must be taken to clean and maintain your train for
optimal performance. Clean track and wheels provide
electrical contact for proper train operation. After every
eight hours of use, wipe the track rails and exposed
portions of your locomotive’s wheels with a soft, lint-
free cloth or cotton swab. Removal of black residue is
normal.
Do not use steep wool to clean your track. If your track
becomes dirty and dull looking, clean it with one of the
recommended track cleaners available at your local
hobby store. Common solvents are not recommended
as they may damage plastics. Please make sure you
track is free from lint, fiber, and loose material which
may be sucked into the motor.
After every 24 hours of operation, your train set
requires lubrication to keep it in optimal operation
condition. Do not use common household lubricants as
they may damage your train. Contact your local hobby
store for proper lubrication products and procedures.
