Before using your locomotive, this instruction booklet should be read by everyone that will be operating the locomotive. These are
important instructions on the locomotive's operation and directions on avoiding damage to it through misuse.
Most of the questions you will have about care and maintenance are answered here. If you have further questions about your
locomotive or accessories contact your AUTHORIZED LIONEL SERVICE CENTER using the listing included on a separate flyer
in the locomotive's packaging.
This locomotive is designed to have a voltage range of 5-15 volts A.C. or D.C. and under normal conditions, will pull at least 25
cars on a level grade track.
Your engine is equipped with "Tire-Traction". This means that one of the drive wheels is fitted with a rubber tire to permit greater
pulling power. Lionel engines with "Tire-Traction" grip the track and enable the engine to pull heavy loads at higher speeds.
This locomotive is designed to use Lionel liquid smoke fluid. To fill the smoke generator, squeeze 4 to 8 drops of smoke fluid
into the smokestack. The locomotive will begin to puff smoke several seconds after track power is turned on. The locomotive
will puff smoke only when the wheels are turning. If more than 8 drops of smoke fluid are used, the generator may overflow
and fluid will spill out. If this should happen, lift the locomotive slightly, making sure all drive wheels remain in contact with the
track. Increase track voltage so drive wheels turn rapidly. After a few minutes, the locomotive will begin to puff smoke and
will operate normally.
NOTE: Do not leave the locomotive on the track in neutral for an extended
period of time with track power applied. This may cause overheating of the

smoke generator.

NOTE: The "Smoke Fluid" contains a light liquid petrolatum. Smoke fluid stains
can be removed using standard cleaning agents, such as water soluble deter-
gents.
