Maintaining and servicing your powered and
non-powered F3A set
H
elp your Lionel powered and non-pow-
ered F3A set lead a long and produc-
tive life on your railroad by maintaining it
properly.
We recommend you purchase aLionel 929
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 F3’s
wheels, contact rollers, or your track.
You’ll know your F3 requires lubrication
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.
