GP-38 DUMMY DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for purchasing a Williams by Bachmann® locomotive. This locomotive has been manufactured to provide

years of use and enjoyment. Please follow the simple instructions below.

Before operating, please lightly lubricate the points shown in the diagram below. Do not over-lubricate and take extra care

to avoid getting lubricants on the wheel surfaces.

1. For the axles and coupler pivot points Marked A, we recommend that you lubricate with a small amount of light

oil such as Bachmann E-Z Lube® #99984 Light Gear Oil. Do not over-lubricate.

2. For areas that require electrical flow, such as roller pick-ups Marked B, please use Bachmann E-Z Lube®

#99981 Conductive Contact Lube. Never use any Teflon® based oil on these areas because this type oil has

insulating properties.

OPERATION

After unpacking the locomotive, make sure that the uncoupling plunger is in the correct position with the pin inserted in

the knuckle (see figure 1). Failure to do so will allow the uncoupling plunger to contact the center rail and a direct short

will occur when power is applied to the track.

Uncoupling

This dummy locomotive is equipped with operating knuckle couplers at both ends. To uncouple, position the uncoupling

plunger over the center of electro-magnetic track uncoupling section and activate the magnet.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Disassembly Instructions

You will have to remove the body shell for bulb replacement, or to install a power upgrade kit. The body shell is attached

with four screws on the bottom of the locomotive frame. The screws are located in each corner of the frame. When you re-

attach body shell, please be careful not to over-tighten the screws.

Lubrication

We recommend that you lubricate as directed on page 1 every 10 hours of operation.

Light Bulb Replacement

This locomotive uses a 12 volt bayonet style bulb. The standard replacement bulb number is 53.

Power Upgrade Kit

A power upgrade kit, Williams by Bachmann® #00241, is available to convert this dummy unit into a powered unit.

Please follow the installation instructions that are included with the kit.
