H
elp your Lionel locomotive lead a long and productive life on your railroad by maintaining it
properly.
We recommend that you purchase a Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (part no. 6-62927),
available from your Lionel dealer. Two basic rules to keep in mind:
never
over-lubricate (a small
amount will do), and avoid getting grease or oil on the locomotive wheels, contact rollers,
or
your
track.
You’ll know your locomotive requires lubrication when visual inspection reveals dryness on the
parts indicated below or the locomotive begins to squeak. Remove accumulated dirt and dust before
lubricating, and always lubricate any locomotive emerging from prolonged storage. Also, lightly lubri-
cate the front and rear truck pivot points after each 25 hours of operation.
