Lubricating your F3’s Pullmor motor armatures
Y
our powered F3A unit will require occa-
sional lubrication of its Pullmor motor
armatures. If you hear excess noise during
operation, or if the locomotive slows down
intermittently, you may need to oil the top
armature bearing.
Start by separating the body shell from
the frame; remove the front body screw and
unclip the rear shell tabs from the frame
slots. Apply a small amount of Lionel oil
(two drops) in the armature shaft hole.
Finish the job by reinstalling the body
shell. Reinsert the rear tabs into the frame
slots, then line up the screw holes in the
front, and reinsert the screw.
Your F3 unit contains sophisti-
cated electronic devices that are
extremely sensitive to static
electricity. Please avoid all phys-
ical contact with these devices.
Note!
