elp your Lionel Rectifier lead a long
and productive life on your railroad by
maintaining it properly.
We recommend you purchase a Lionel
Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (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 Rectifier’s
wheels, contact rollers, or your track.
You’ll know your Rectifier requires lubrica-
tion when visual inspection reveals dryness
on the parts indicated in the illustration.
Remove accumulated dirt and dust before
lubricating, and always lubricate any loco-
motive emerging from prolonged storage.

Installing the pantograph on your Rectifier
A
lthough your engine is wired
to operate on three-rail track, it
is equipped with an operating
pantograph which can be wired
into the power circuit by any
model railroader whose layout
works with a catenary, or over-
head power line.
The pantograph is
held in place with a
spring catch and can be
removed simply by pulling the base
frame upward. This is a very impor-
tant feature as it prevents damage
to the pantograph in the
event of a derailment or
catching on a catenary. To
replace, open the panto-
graph and snap into place
by pushing in the center
portion.
