RailKing SW 8-9 Operating Manual
reinstalled or a noticeable wobble in your engine will occur when operating
the locomotive. In addition, it is important to make sure that the tire is
fully seated inside the groove. Any portion of the tire extending out of the
groove can cause the engine to wobble. A razor blade can be used to trim
away any excess tire that doesn’t seat itself inside the groove properly.
Once the new tire(s) are in place, reassemble the truck sides to the truck
blocks. Replacement tires are available directly from MTH Electric Trains.
HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENT
The SW 8-9 locomotive contains two bulbs that are controlled by the track
voltage. The headlight bulb simply plugs into its lamp socket and can be
easily removed should the bulbs expire. To remove the bulbs, follow the
cab removal instructions found in the lubrication section on the preceding
pages. Once the cab has been removed from the chassis, gently twist and
push the bulb to unlock it from its lamp housing. Once unlocked, the bulb
will pull out of the socket. To replace the rear bulb, remove the socket from
the plug at the rear of the engine. Replacement bulbs are available directly
from MTH Electric Trains.
