Lubricating Your Locomotive - Lionel 6-31719 Owner's Manual

Locomotive operations and maintenance

Lubricating your locomotive

H elp your Lionel 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, contact
rollers, 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.
