This is the owner's manual for Lionel F3/F7 Powered B-Unit Diesel Locomotive
This owner's manual covers the Lionel F3/F7 Powered B-Unit diesel locomotive, a LEGACY-equipped model that also runs in TrainMaster Command Control (TMCC) and conventional transformer operation. It explains setup with the LEGACY CAB-2 Remote Controller or the CAB-1 Remote Controller, the location of the locomotive's switches, and adding smoke fluid to the smoke generator.
Later sections cover assigning the locomotive a new ID# (1 to 98), lash-ups for LEGACY operation, the Odyssey II Speed Control system, reprogramming to restore features, lubrication, LED service and replacing the traction tires, and end with the Lionel Limited Warranty Policy. The locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-36 or larger track curves and must be powered by an AC transformer at no more than 19 volts AC.

It must be powered with an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer only, at no more than 19 volts AC. A DC transformer or more than 19 volts AC may damage the electronics.
Add 10-20 drops to prime the smoke unit and 10 to 20 drops when smoke production decreases. Do not exceed 20 drops, which can oversaturate the unit and cause leakage.
The locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-36 or larger track curves.
Slide the Command reverse unit switch to PGM, enter any number from 1 to 98 not already used, press SET, then slide the switch back to RUN.
