Adding fluid to your Locomotive’s smoke generator
Your 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 func-
tion. Pierce the tube end with a pin, then add
35-40 drops of fluid into the Locomotive’s
stack. See diagram for location of smoke gen-
erator duct. Smoke production will commence
momentarily, faster if you run your Locomotive
at speed. When smoke production wanes, add
more fluid (four to eight drops).
If you prefer to have a smoke free loco-
motive, there is a switch located on the bot-
tom of the engine under the cab marked
SMK/NO SMK (see page 5 for location).
Move the switch to NO SMK and your loco-
motive will stop smoking.
When the smoke unit is on Always keep a
small amount of smoke fluid in the
Locomotive’s smoke generator; the genera-
tor’s element can become damaged if operat-
ed without fluid. Smoke production is greater
at higher voltages and when the Locomotive
is pulling a heavy load or long consist.
Make sure the headlight was not turned off by pressing AUX2 before replacing bulb.
Replacing your Dash-9’s lamps
Your Dash-9 is illuminated by several 18-
volt lamps. During the course of normal
operation, they may require replacement.
Begin by removing the Dash-9’s shell;
see page 6 for screw location. After removing
the six screws, carefully lift the shell away
from the frame.
Locate the wire harness containing the
expired lamp. Carefully remove the lamps
from the clear plastic lens. Next route the
wires through the retaining clips and
unplug the connector from spring housing
(Note the manner in which the wires are
routed, this makes reinstallation easier.)
Refer to the diagram on the next page for
the part number of the wire harness to be
replaced. The wire harnesses are available
from your authorized Lionel Service Center
or Lionel Service. See Lionel Service section
on page 16 for more information. Reinstall
the shell.
