3Move ‘em out!
• Get your Dash-9 moving. Press the DIR button on your CAB-1 remote or
Lionel transformer. This sequences the Lionel R2LC reverse unit to the next oper-
ating state.
• Adjust track voltage until your Dash-9 moves at your desired speed. To
increase speed, increase track voltage. To decrease speed, reduce voltage. To stop
the locomotive, cut track power.
• See page 4 for information on locking your Dash-9 in a single
operating state
Place your Dash-9 locomotives on Lionel or Lionel-
compatible O gauge track.

2Power up your Dash-9 with your transformer.
• Your Dash-9 is designed to operate on 8-18 volts alternating current.
Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current transformers are
suitable.
• Do not power your Dash-9 with direct current (DC). Damage to sensi-
tive electronic components may occur.
• When you first power up your track, your Dash-9’s headlights will illu-
minate. At this point, the locomotive is in neutral. This occurs when placing the
Dash-9 on your railroad for the first time. When your train is first powered up,
the default state will be neutral and the default direction is forward. This means
whenever you power up your engine the engine will remain in neutral, and
when the power is removed and again applied, the train will move forward. This
condition holds true if the engine is being powered up for the first time or if the
engine has been powered down longer than five seconds.

Using your Dash-9 Electrocoupler in the
non-Command environment
To use your Dash-9 Electrocoupler in the
non-Command environment, you must
first couple a piece of rolling stock equipped
with Lionel magnetic couplers directly to
your Dash-9’s electrocouplers. The magnetic
coupler on the rolling stock will then react
to the magnetic field generated by a Lionel
remote-control track section (available sep-
arately). Place your rolling stock’s coupler
“trigger disc” over the central coil of a
remote-control track section and press
uncouple on the controller. The magnetic
field pulls the disc downward, and the cou-
pler opens.
Your Dash-9 electrocouplers
will NOT open manually or by
using a remote-control track
section

Transformer operations
To select a single operational state for
your Lionel Dash-9 (example: forward
only), you can deactivate the R2LC’s
sequencing function with the reverse unit
control switch.
Get your locomotive moving in the
desired direction, then slow it
down without stopping. Set the reverse unit
control switch to PROGRAM. The Dash-9 is
now “locked” into your chosen direction.
When you no longer want single-direction
operation, just slide the reverse unit control
switch back to RUN.

Lubricating your Dash-9
Help your Lionel Dash-9 lead a long and
productive life on your railroad by
maintaining it properly.
We recommend you purchase a Lionel
Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (no. 6-
62927), available from your Lionel dealer.
Two basic rules to keep in mind: never over-
lubricate (a small amount will do), and
avoid getting grease or oil on the Dash-9’s
wheels or your track. You’ll know
your Dash-9 requires lubrication when visu-
al inspection reveals dryness on the parts
indicated in the illustration. Remove accu-
mulated dirt and dust before lubricating,
and always lubricate any locomotive emerg-
ing from prolonged storage.

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.

Replacing your Dash-9’s lamps
To replace your Dash-9’s interior lights, cut
the two leads of the expired lamp and
remove it from the lamp holder in the motor
shroud. Route the two leads from the new
lamp up and through the lamp holder,
reversing the path taken to remove the
expired lamps. Cut approximately 1/4˝ of
insulation off of each lead, twist the two
leads together. Wrap this connection with
insulated tape to ensure a secure connec-
tion. Before you reinstall the cab, put your
Dash-9 on the track and power it up to verify
that the connection you made is a good one.
When you have verified that your mission
was a success. Reinstall the cab and get back
on the track!

Your Dash-9’s Railsounds system—the basics
Lionel Railsounds is the most realistic
model railroad sound system in the
world. Your Dash-9 Railsounds upgrade fea-
tures digital samples for the ultimate in
realism.
When you first apply track power, the
Dash-9’s Railsounds system delivers an
authentic start-up sequence, followed by the
sounds of the locomotive at idle. As the
Dash-9’s speed increases, the RPMs move
through four levels of roar. Sounds return to
idle only after the locomotive has come to a
complete halt.
To silence the diesel roar (horn and bell
remain unaffected), slide the Railsounds
switch on the underside of the locomotive to
NO SND (see page 5), before powering up
the locomotive.

Installing a 9-volt alkaline bat-
tery in your Dash-9.

Note!
Please remove protective cover from battery clip
Although Railsounds is powered by track voltage, the battery is required for
uninterrupted operation and shutdown sequences. Use only alkaline batteries.
Discontinue locomotive power for 10 seconds before changing the Railsounds
ON/OFF switch position.
If Railsounds “drops out” during track power interrupts (direction change),
replace the battery.

With Railsounds, you experience the
sounds of real railroading like never
before. Simply put, it’s the most sophisticat-
ed, authentic model railroad sound system
in the world.
• Four diesel-roar levels. Your Dash-
9’s speed determines the level of diesel
RPM roar—automatically, if you pre-
fer: idle, half throttle, three quarters or
full-speed output.
• MultiHorn™. A different horn sound
at different speeds—a Railsounds
exclusive.
•Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your
CAB-1 or transformer to begin the effect,
again to discontinue.
• Reverse unit reset sound. Power
down your track, wait for 3-5 seconds,
and listen for the air-release sound—
that’s the Dash-9 telling you its Lionel
Command reverse unit has just reset to
forward operation.
• Shutdown sequence. No other model
railroad sound system shuts down like
Railsounds. Turn off track power, and
after the air-release reset sound, you
have two seconds to restart your Dash-9.
If you’re done with operations,
Railsounds will commence with a realis-
tic diesel shutdown sequence about two
seconds after the air-release reset occurs.
Experiencing the range of your Dash-9’s Railsounds system
Notes on Railsounds
• Turn the volume knob clockwise or
counter clockwise in the location shown
on page 6 to adjust sound output.
• Listen for incidental locomotive sounds
during Railsounds operation. They’re
automatic and, of course, authentic.
• The 9-volt alkaline battery you installed
ensures continuous Dash-9 diesel roar.
• Longer track-power interruptions
(including locomotive derailments)
cause Railsounds to shut down after
about 7 seconds.
• For even more authentic Railsounds
effects, operate in the TrainMaster
Command environment.
