Lubricating Your Locomotive - Lionel SD38 Owner's Manual

Maintaining and servicing your locomotive

Lubricating your locomotive

H
elp your Lionel locomotive lead a long and productive life on your railroad by maintaining
it properly. To keep your locomotive lubricated, we recommend that you purchase a Lionel
Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (6-62927), available from your authorized Lionel dealer.
When you find that the lubrication points illustrated in Figure 14 appear dry, lubricate your
locomotive after you have removed any accumulated dirt and dust. There are two basic rules to keep
in mind when you are lubricating your locomotive: use only a small amount of lubrication and avoid
getting grease or oil on your locomotive's wheels, roller pick-ups, or the track.
