Maintaining and servicing your locomotive

Adjusting the smoke output

our locomotive features an improved smoke unit with variable smoke output. In the TrainMaster

Command Control environment, you may select low, medium, or high smoke output using your

CAB-1 Remote Controller. Your locomotive is shipped from the factory in the medium smoke output

setting.

To adjust the smoke output, bring the locomotive to a stop, press AUX1, AUX2, 9, then press

L for low smoke, M for medium smoke, or H for high smoke. Press AUX2 again to complete the

setting. See page 16 for the location of these buttons on the CAB-1 Remote Controller.

Your locomotive will remember its new setting until you change it again.

It may take up to a minute for the smoke unit to heat up or cool down to the new setting.

Note!

In the conventional environment, smoke output is always at the medium level. Smoke

Note!

output is not variable in the conventional environment.

Adjusting the variable smoke unit output using the L, M, or H buttons will also effect the

locomotives speed step/momentum setting (see page 16). After changing the smoke unit

output, simply reset the speed step/momentum to your preferred setting by pressing the L, M,

or H button once again.

our locomotive is illuminated by several LEDs and lamps. During the course of normal

operations, they may require replacement.

We recommend that you have the LED and lamp replacemenst done at an authorized

Lionel Service Center. See the Lionel Service section on page 40 for more information.

our locomotive is equipped with traction tires (Lionel part no. 620-8815-206) to increase the

tractive effort of your locomotive and allow it to pull more cars at once.

During the course of normal operations, the traction tires may become worn out. To

replace the traction tires, remove the side frame screws from the underside of the trucks and

lift away the side frame. Remove the worn tire, then slip the replacement around the wheel.

Reposition the side frame on the truck and secure it with the two screws.
