Maintaining and servicing your locomotive

Servicing your locomotive's LEDs and lamps

Y our locomotive is illuminated by several LEDs and lamps. While the LEDs are expected to
last for the life of the locomotive, you may find that the lamps may require replacement.
We recommend that you have the lamps serviced at an authorized Lionel Service Center. See
the Lionel Service section on page 36 for more information.

Servicing 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. We
recommend that you have the traction tires replaced by an authorized Lionel Service Center
because the truck and side frames must be removed to access the wheels. See the Lionel Service
section on page 36 for more information.

Servicing the pantographs

Do not raise or lower the pantographs by hand.
Caution!
Y our locomotive is equipped with operating pantographs. Each pantograph is secured to the
locomotive with four mounting screws, which are removed using the small wrench that is
included with the locomotive. Because the pantographs are fragile, we recommend that you
have them repaired at an authorized Lionel Service Center. See the Lionel Service section on
page 36 for more information.
