Maintaining and servicing your set
Replacing your EP-5's lamps
Y
our EP-5 is illuminated by two 14-volt lamps. During the course of normal operation, they may
require replacement. The headlights are illuminated by LEDs, which are expected to last for the
life of the locomotive. See your authorized Lionel Service Center if service is ever required.
Start by separating the body from the frame (see page 25 for the location of the body screws).
Each lamp rests in a holder. Carefully pull the bulb straight up out of the holder to remove it. Replace
the expired lamp with Lionel part no. 610-4584-300, available from your local Lionel Authorized
Service Center or Lionel Service. (For more information, see Lionel Service on page 36).
To reinstall the shell, reverse the process. Make sure all of the wires are inside the body before you
tighten the screws.

Lubricating your EP-5's Pullmor motor armature
Y
our EP-5 will require occasional lubrication of its Pullmor
motor armature. If you hear excess noise during operation,
or if the locomotive slows down intermittently, you may need to
oil the top armature bearing.
Start by separating the body from the frame (see Figure 3 on
page 10). Apply a small amount of Lionel oil (two drops) in the
armature shaft hole.
Finish the job by reinstalling the body shell. Line up the screw
holes and reinsert the screws.
The Command reverse unit is a sophisticated electronic device and is extremely

sensitive to static electricity. Please avoid all physical contact with the R2LC.
