Operating Oil Drum Loader - Lionel

Place the platform assembly adjacent to the track as close to the train as possible without causing interference. Note: for “0”
gauge layouts it may be necessary to raise the oil barrel loader approximately 1/2 “. Set the forklift loader on the platform
over the outermost pin on the drive arm so that the hole on the front underside of the forklift loader engages with the pin.
(See Figure 8). Figure 9 shows the position that the forklift loader should be in when the drive arm is at the edge of the platform
farthest away from the barrels.

OIL DRUM LOADER OPERATION
Load oil drums into chute next to house. Place the forklift driver onto the forklift loader. Position the empty gondola car in
front of the loading platform and sequence reversing unit in locomotive to neutral position. Adjust track voltage to approximately
8 volts, usually at the lower end of most transformer voltage ranges. WARNING: Doing this for an extended period of
time could damage a locomotive equipped with a smoke unit. Turn power switch on and watch the drums load into the gondola
car. Turn switch off after the last barrel has been loaded. The train is now ready to deliver oil drums to their destination.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
This unit should be maintenance free under normal operating conditions.
Frequent or continuous operation may call for lubrication should the unit
begin slowing down or operating erratically. Turn the unit upside down and
apply one drop of machine oil to each of the 4 pivot points as shown.
