Maintaining and servicing your locomotive
Replacing the traction tires
Y
our LionChief Plus 2.0 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 LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive includes built-in diagnostics to monitor the condition of the
main drive motor. 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, it must be returned to a local Factory Trained Authorized Lionel Service
Station, or contact Lionel Customer Service for repair.
