1 E8/9A-Unit Locomotive with Sound & DCC From Walthers CONGRATULATIONS! You have just purchased one of a series of the finest running, most detailed model locomotives available today. It is equipped with a heavy diecast chassis and a state of the art drive system that is second to none. Your new PROTO 2 HO Scale E8/9A diesel locomotive has been carefully hand-assembled and tested before leaving our modern factory. Additionally, it has been engineered to provide virtually trouble-free senice and operation. REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS Remove protective plastic cover. Grasping the sides of the foam casing, press two fingers into the holes in the underside of the foam and push the locomotive out above the foam in the front. Holding on to the top center of the locomotive (where there are no detail parts) and the fuel tank, pull the shell straight out very carefully and slowly. Be careful not to damage any of the delicate detail parts. If locomotive shou ld become stuck as you are pulling, you may jiggle the locomotive to the left and right as you continue to pul l out. Under no circumstances should you apply pressure to the locomotive. Important: Retain this package and all packing materials in case you need to ship locomotive for servicing.

2 Break-In. To break-in your ES/9 Locomotive, operate it at varying speeds, starting and stopping it frequently while running it in both forward and reverse for an hour or so. This will allow the motor brushes to "seat" and adjust to ensure improved operation for the life of your engine. LUBRICATION AND CLEANING Frequency As with any precision mechanical equipment, occasional lubrication and maintenance is required for optimum performance. PROTO 2 locomotives, with their precision-engineered reduction gears, motor and chassis need only occasional, careful lubrication and cleaning. Avoid over lubricating, as excessive amounts of lubricant can migrate to the drivers and cause reduced tractive force and grime on the rail heads. Models used infrequently or not at all should not be lubricated more often than once a year. Models which are run often and pull long consists on grades should be inspected and lubricated every two or three months. Instructions Bearing Areas. A small patch of cloth held with tweezers should be used to clean bearing areas before lubrication. With the model upside down, place a drop of light oil at each wheel bearing. Do not over lubricate. Worm Gears. By removing the body shell and metal chassis weight the snap-on covers (Part #2 in exploded views) over the drive worms can be removed. Light grease should be applied to the worm gear with a toothpick. Idler Gears. A drop of light oil can also be applied to the plastic idler gears below the worm gear. As they are made from slippery plastic, the gears require little maintenance.
