Premier FM Trainmaster Operating Instructions
B. Remove the trucks from the chassis and the truck sides from the trucks in
order to slip the new tire over the grooved drive wheel. See Fig. 8 for which
screws you must remove to do this. Remove screw in Motor Mount to free
trucks (see Fig. 7 on pg.13)
Once the trucksides have been removed:
1. Make sure the old tire has been completely removed from the groove in the
drive wheel, using a razor blade or small flathead screwdriver to pry away any
remains.
2. Slip the new tire onto the wheel. You may find it useful to use two small
flathead screwdrivers to stretch the tire over the wheel.
3. If you twist the tire while stretching it over the wheel, you will need to
remove and reinstall the tire. Otherwise your engine will wobble while
operating.
4. Make sure the tire is fully seated inside the groove. Use a razor blade to
trim away any excess tire that will not seat inside the groove properly.
5. Reassemble in the reverse order.
One set of replacement tires is packaged with your model. Additional sets are
available directly from the M.T.H. Parts Department.
