Maintaining And Servicing Your Locomotive Lubricating Your Locomotive - Lionel American Flyer Owner's Manual

Maintaining and servicing your locomotive
Lubricating your locomotive
H elp your locomotive lead a long and productive life on your railroad by maintaining it
properly.
We recommend that you purchase a Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit
(6-62927), available from your Lionel dealer. Two basic rules to keep in mind: never over-
lubricate (a small amount will do), and avoid getting grease or oil on the locomotive's wheels
or your track. You'll know your locomotive requires lubrication when visual inspection reveals
dryness on the parts indicated in Figure 3. Remove accumulated dirt and dust before
lubricating, and always lubricate any locomotive emerging from prolonged storage.
