Maintaining and servicing your locomotive
Lubricating the Pullmor motor armature bearings
Y
our locomotive will require the occasional lubrication of the armatures on its Pullmor
motors. If you hear excess noise during operation, or if the unit slows down intermittently,
you may need to oil the armature bearings. We recommend that you purchase a Lionel
Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (6-62927) to properly service your locomotive.
1. Remove the front body screw, then disengage the rear body tabs from the slots in the frame.
2. Lift the body off the metal frame.
3. As illustrated in Figure 6, place a small amount (two drops) of Lionel oil (available in the
Lubrication and Maintenance Kit, 6-62927) into the hole.
4. Repeat step 3 for the other motor.
5. Replace the body, securing it with the front body screw.
