Using these HO scale Kadee #148 couplers is easy. First, find the center screw hole on the coupler and use it to mount the coupler to your model train. Make sure it's firmly attached. When connecting cars, just bring the couplers close to each other and the magnetic force will do the work. As for maintenance, keep them clean from dust and debris. You can use a soft brush to gently clean the couplers and the gear box. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the couplers. Store them in a dry place when not in use to prevent rusting. Be careful when handling the couplers as they are small and delicate, and you don't want to bend or break the Whisker Centering Spring.
