command was not used to turn the lamps off.
Y
our locomotive is illuminated by several LEDs that are expected to last for the life of the
locomotive. The LED's are not user serviceable. If service is required, we recommend that
you have your locomotive serviced at a Lionel Factory Trained Authorized Service Station or
Lionel Service.

Replacing the traction tires

Y
our locomotive is equipped with traction tires to increase the tractive effort of your
locomotive and allow it to pull more cars at once.
During the course of normal operations, the traction tires may become worn out. To
replace the traction tires, remove the side frame screws from the underside of the trucks and
lift away the side frame. Remove the worn tire, then slip the replacement around the wheel.
Reposition the side frame on the truck and secure it with the two screws.

Locomotive diagnostics

Y
our locomotive includes built-in diagnostics to monitor the condition of the main drive motor
and smoke system. If a problem is detected, the locomotive's cab light will blink a diagnostic
code.
If you see the light inside the cab flashing, press RESET (for LEGACY operation), 0 (for
TMCC operation), or DIRECTION/power interruption (for conventional operation to attempt
to clear the problem. The locomotive will immediately check itself again. If the problem
persists, the cab light will blink the code again.
Note that smoke-related errors can be reset a maximum of three times. On the third try,
if the problem still persists, the smoke unit will be shut down. After reaching the three-cycle
limit, the power must be cycled (turn off and back on) and then you may try to reset three
more times. If the problem persists, it must be returned to a local Factory Trained Authorized
Lionel Service Station or contact Lionel Customer Service for repair.
Turning the smoke unit switch to the off position will disable diagnostic checks of
