Maintaining and servicing your set
Lubricating your locomotive
H
elp your American Flyer locomotive lead a long and productive life on your railroad by main-
taining it properly.
We recommend that you purchase a Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (part no. 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 wheels, contact rollers, or your
track.
You'll know your locomotive requires lubrication when visual inspection reveals dryness on the
parts indicated in Figure 4 or the locomotive and tender begin to squeak. Remove accumulated dirt
and dust before lubricating, and always lubricate any locomotive emerging from prolonged storage.
Also, lightly lubricate the front and rear truck pivot points after each 25 hours of operation.
