Traction Tire Replacement Instructions

Your locomotive is equipped with two neoprene rubber traction tires on the

powered truck block. While these tires are extremely durable, you may need to

replace them at some point. Please use the following instructions to replace the

traction tires.

1. Turn your engine upside down.

2. Remove the traction tires from the wheels shown in figure below.

3. Make sure the old tire has been completely removed from the groove in the drive

wheel, using a razor blade or small flathead screwdriver to pry away any remains.

4. Slip the new tire onto the wheel. You may find it useful to use two small

flathead screwdrivers to stretch the tire over the wheel.

5. If you twist the tire while stretching it over the wheel, you will need to remove

and reinstall the tire. Otherwise your engine will wobble while operating.

6. Make sure the tire is fully seated inside the groove. Use a razor blade to trim

away any excess tire that doesn't seat itself inside the groove properly.

One set of replacement tires is packaged with the model. Additional tires are

available directly from the M.T.H. Parts Department (Order online: www.mth-
