Maintenance and checks

11. Maintenance and checks
Car System vehicles represent finest, very realistic reproductions of reality. The
structure of these vehicles requires some care at regular intervals to ensure
that you will have as much fun as possible with the vehicles and their func-
tions, for as long a period of time as possible.

Cleaning
From time to time, dust and lint deposits must be removed from axle-bea-
rings, and from drive and steering elements of vehicles. Model roads, too,
should always be kept free of dust and tyre particles.
Clean the vehicles using a soft dry cloth and a soft dry paintbrush, or by
softly blowing air. Never use water or aggressive detergents.
Lubrication
As on the big originals, all rotating parts of vehicles (drive axles, front tyre
axles) and all moveable parts of the steering unit (front-axle swivel pins)
have to be lubricated. We recommend using FALLER special lubricant (Art.
170488) or FALLER special oiler (Art. 170489). The lubricating points are
shown with red circles in Fig. 50 Here too, follow the principle 'as little as
possible, as much as necessary'! When parts are dry, a minute quantity of
oil equivalent to the point of a needle is sufficient.
Excess oil at the points shown might combine with dust and other dirt par-
ticles to form a sticky paste that limits the vehicle's mobility on driving mode.
