TRACTION TIRE REPLACEMENT
INSTRUCTIONS
Your locomotive is equipped with two neoprene rubber traction tires on
the rear set of flanged drivers. While these tires are extremely durable and
long-lasting there may arise a time where they will need to be replaced.
Should this occur, you will need to remove the side rods from the wheels in
order to slip the new tire over the grooved drive wheel.
Before the new tire can be installed, you must make sure the old tire has
been completely removed from the groove in the drive wheel. Use a razor
blade or small flatblade screwdriver pry away any remains left from the old
tire that may still be in the drive wheel groove. Once the old tire has been
completely removed, slip the new tire onto the wheel. You may find it
