Premier E-33 Rectifier Locomotive 11

Maintenance

The engine should be well oiled and greased in order to run properly.

Regularly lubricate all axles and linkage components and pickup rollers to prevent

squeaking. Use light household oil, such as that found in M.T.H.'s

maintenance kit. Do not over oil. Use only a drop or two on each

pivot point.

Figure 3: Body Removal Screw Locations

The locomotive’s internal gearing was greased at the factory and should not need

additional grease until after 50 hours of operation or one year, whichever comes first.

Follow the greasing instructions below. Note that in some tightly packed engines you

may need to move internal components temporarily in order to access the gears.

1. To access the gear box, remove the cab from the chassis by unscrewing the chassis

screws as seen in Figure 3 and lifting the cab from the chassis.

2. Once the cab is removed, remove the trucks by unscrewing the black Phillips motor

mount screw located on the underside of the drive trucks (see Fig. 3).

3. Once the motor mount screw has been removed, pull the motor away from the truck

block and lightly coat the motor worm gear and bronze drive gear (in the truck block)

with grease.

4. Reassemble the truck and motor, being careful not to pinch any wires between the

truck block and motor mount.

5. After repeating the procedure for the other motor, reassmble the chassis and body,

being careful that the wire harnesses are not caught between the chassis and body and

reinstall the chassis screws.
