Y
our locomotive’s headlight is illuminated by one lamp. During the course of normal
operations, the lamp may require replacement.
Removing the body screws and linkage will allow access to the interior of the locomotive
and the expired lamp. However, due to the complexity involved, it is recommended that
a Lionel Service Station erform this service, if required. Lionel part no. 40-8047-300 are
available from your authorized Lionel Service Center. (See the Lionel Service section on page
12 for more information.)
Replacing your locomotive’s lamp
Maintaining your locomotive
Adding fluid to your locomotive’s smoke stack
Y
our locomotive is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe, clean, white
smoke during operation.
The smoke generator requires the periodic addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order to
function. A small bottle of smoke fluid is included with the locomotive. Press down and
unscrew the cap, then pierce the end of the nozzle with a pin. Add four to eight drops of fluid
directly into the locomotive’s stack. Smoke production will commence momentarily, faster if
you run your locomotive at speed. When smoke production decreases, add more fluid (four to
eight drops).
If you prefer
smoke-free
locomotive operation, move the SMOKE switch located inside the cab
to the OFF position, and your locomotive will stop smoking. Refer to Figure 2 on page 4 for the
location of the switches.
When the smoke unit is on,
always
keep a small amount of smoke fluid in the locomotive’s smoke
generator; the generator’s element can become damaged if operated without fluid. Smoke production
is greater at higher voltages and when the locomotive is pulling a heavy load or long consist.
Always keep a small amount of smoke fluid in the smoke unit when the smoke
unit is on.
Caution!
