Place the locomotive gently onto a clean H0 scale track. Ensure all wheels are correctly seated on the rails.
4.3 Power Connection (DC Operation)
For analog DC operation, connect your DC power pack to the track as per the power pack's instructions. Ensure the power pack is set to DC output.
4.4 Digital Decoder (DCC Operation)
The Roco 73729 is equipped with a DCC digital decoder and a PluX22 electrical interface. For digital operation, connect your DCC command station to the track. The locomotive should be automatically recognized or can be addressed using its default DCC address (typically 3). Refer to your DCC command station's manual for specific programming and control instructions.
5. Uputstvo za upotrebu
5.1 Osnovni pokret
Analog DC: Postepeno povećavajte volumentage on your DC power pack to start the locomotive moving. Adjust the direction switch on your power pack for forward or reverse movement.
Digital DCC: Use your DCC command station to select the locomotive's address. Use the throttle to control speed and the direction button for forward/reverse.
5.2 Funkcije osvjetljenja
The locomotive features directional lighting:
- Prednja svjetla: Three white headlights illuminate in the direction of travel.
- Zadnja svjetla: Two red taillights illuminate at the rear, opposite the direction of travel.
- Light Change: The lights automatically switch from white (front) to red (rear) depending on the direction of travel.
- LED Top Illumination: The model includes LED top illumination for enhanced realism.
Napomena: In DCC operation, specific function buttons on your command station may control additional lighting features or dimming, if available.
5.3 Sound Functions
This model is equipped with sound capabilities. In DCC operation, various sound functions (e.g., engine start-up, horn, brakes) can be activated using the function buttons on your DCC command station. Refer to your DCC system's manual and the locomotive's specific function mapping for details.
5.4 Spojka
The locomotive features a NEM 362 coupler pocket with KK-Kinematik (close coupling mechanism). This allows for easy attachment of rolling stock equipped with compatible couplers. Gently push rolling stock together until the couplers engage.
6. Održavanje
6.1 Čišćenje
Regularly clean the locomotive's wheels and track to ensure good electrical contact and smooth operation. Use a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn dirt on wheels, a specialized model train cleaning fluid can be used sparingly on a cotton swab. Uvijek isključite napajanje prije čišćenja.
6.2 Podmazivanje
Periodically, the moving parts of the locomotive, such as the motor bearings and gear train, may require lubrication. Use only specialized model train lubricant. Apply a very small amount to designated lubrication points as indicated in the detailed technical diagram (if provided separately) or by a qualified service technician. Over-lubrication can attract dust and hinder performance.
6.3 Friction Tires
The locomotive is equipped with two friction tires on its driven axles to improve traction. These tires are subject to wear and should be inspected periodically. If traction decreases, replace the friction tires with genuine Roco spare parts (Art.-No. 73729 replacement tires). Refer to a technical diagram for replacement instructions or consult a service center.
