Servicing your E-6’s lamps
Your E-6 units are illuminated by an
L.E.D. circuit board and several small
lamps. During the course of normal opera-
tion, the L.E.D. and lamps may require
replacement.
Due to the delicate wiring and soldering
operations, we recommend that you have
the replacement done at a Lionel Service
Station. See the Lionel Service section on
page 20 for more information.

Adding smoke fluid to your locomotive’s smoke generator
Both “A” units are equipped with a
smoke generator that produces safe,
clean, white smoke during operation.
Periodically, you will need to add smoke
fluid to the locomotives; a small tube of
smoke fluid and a special tip are included
with this set.
To add smoke fluid, pierce the end of the
tube with a pin, then apply the special tip.
Before you begin, be sure that your locomo-
tive is on a level surface with the smoke
generator off. Twist and pull off the plug at
the center of the locomotive, then insert the
tip into the hole. The tip must point to the
rear of the locomotive. Lean the tube
toward the front of the engine, then add 4-8
drops of fluid. Experiment with the flow of
the smoke fluid to prevent overfilling the
smoke generator. When smoke production
wanes, add 4-8 drops of smoke fluid in the
same manner. Additional smoke fluid (no.
6-62909) is available from your Lionel deal-
er. Save the tube and the special tip for use
with this set.
To turn off the smoke generators, slide
the SMK/NO SMK switch at the bottom of
each locomotive to the NO SMK position (see
page 4 for the location of this switch). When
the smoke generator is on, be sure that there
is smoke fluid in the smoke generator to
avoid damage. Smoke production is greater
when the locomotive is pulling a heavy load
and at higher voltages.

WARNING: Never operate the smoke unit when dry. This will cause the smoke unit to over-
heat and may damage your engine.
