Running your Tie-jectorNote! Power your Tie-jector with an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer only.Powering your Tie-jector with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of 19 voltsAC, may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.Note! Your Tie-jector requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-27 or larger track curves.Loading tiesThe top of your Tie-jector has two bins. The bin at the front is for storage of extra ties. Ties placedin the rear bin will be deposited around the layout when the Tie-jector is activated.Load wood ties in the bin as shown.Tie ejection binTie storage binTies eject from hereFigure 1. Loading tiesLEGACY/TrainMaster Command Control (TMCC/Command Control)operationsFor the finest operating experience, your Tie-jector is fully compatible with Lionel’s TMCC andLEGACY control systems. You can operate your TMCC Tie-jector with your TMCC Cab 1 or yourLEGACY Cab-1L or Cab-2 controller.Your commands are sent by the remote controller to the Command Base, which sends a wireless RF signal through the rails to your Tie-jector. Your Tie-jector will not respond until itrecognizes its unique ID#, so you can operate multiple Command-equipped locomotives onthe same track at the same time.3

Running your Tie-jectorThe LEGACY CAB-2 Remote ControllerFor operation using the CAB-2 remote, you must set the Tie-jector to either TMCC or CAB-1 mode.Note! LEGACY mode will NOT operate your Tie-jector.Note!

Running your Tie-jectorNote! Power your Tie-jector with an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer only.Powering your Tie-jector with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of 19 voltsAC, may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.Note! Your Tie-jector requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-27 or larger track curves.Assigning your Tie-Jector a new ID#For operation in the LEGACY or Command Control environment, you will want to give your tiejector a unique ID#. It will respond to commands associated with its ID# while all other unitswill disregard these commands. This procedure is not necessary for conventional(non-Command) operation.1. Slide the program run switch on your Tie-jector to the PGM position. SeeFigure 2.2. Place the Tie-jector on the track.3. Connect the Command Base and plug it in.4. Power up the track.5. Press ENG on the CAB-1, CAB-1L, or CAB-2 remote.Note! The Tie-jector will accept an ACC or ENG address! Must be set to TMCC or Cab-1 modeunder the engine menu (will not respond to Legacy 9-bit commands).6. Enter the unique ID#. Choose any number from 1 to 98 that has not beenassigned to another locomotive or tie-jector (ENG). We recommend using apart of your Tie-jector's road number.Note! All LEGACY locomotives, Tie-jectors, etc. respond to ENG 99. We recommend that youreserve ID# 99 as a "universal" ID#.7. Press SET.8. Slide the program run switch back to the RUN position.The Tie-jector's ID# has been set. Be sure to record the new ID# for your reference.FRONTUNDERSIDE OF TIE-JECTORProgram/RunswitchREARFigure 2.

Running your Tie-jectorConventional transformer operationsNote! For Conventional operation, a Command Base must not be powered up anywherein the area, even if it is not connected to the track. If a base is detected, your Tie-jectorwill default to Command mode.Note! Power your Tie-jector with an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer only.Powering your Tie-jector with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of 19 voltsAC, may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.Note! Your Tie-jector requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-27 or larger track curves.Your Tie-jector requires a conventional transformer with a bell button toactivate the tie unloading feature.1. With track power off, place your Tie-jector on the track.2. Power up the track. If a circuit breaker trips when you turn on the Lionel power supply,check the wheels of your tie-jector to make sure they are all securely on the track. Check tomake sure the track is free of all metals that may cause a short circuit.3. Move ‘em out! When the Tie-jector’s headlight illuminates, press the DIRECTION buttonon your transformer to sequence your Tie-jector through the repeating pattern of operations:neutral, forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. You may also briefly turn off track powerto advance the tie-jector to the next operating state. Adjust the throttle until your tie-jectormoves at your desired speed.Note! When placing your Tie-jector on your layout for the first time and after powerinterruptions lasting longer than five seconds, it will start out in neutral.Note! When the Program/Run switch underneath the Tie-jector is put in the Program position,the Tie-jector will be locked into the direction it was in when the switch was switched. Itwill now always start up in that direction and will not go through the Neutral-ForwardReverse-Neutral cycle.Dumping TiesTo eject ties in conventional operation, press the bell button on your transformer. Press thebell button for three seconds to start unloading and again to stop unloading ties anywhereon your layout.8

Running your Tie-jectorNote! Power your Tie-jector with an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer only.Powering your Tie-jector with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of 19 voltsAC, may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.Note! Your Tie-jector requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-27 or larger track curves.Using the Tie Work CarYour TMCC Tie-jector is equipped with a working ElectroCoupler on the rear. The Tie-jectoris powerful enough to pull one or two additional cars around your layout if you desire.We recommend adding a Tie Work Car (sold separately in paint schemes to match each ofthe TMCC Tie-jectors.) This car is equipped with a wired plug and electrical pick ups on thetrucks. Using this car will give your Tie-jector more electrical contacts with the rails for morereliable operation over dirty track, switch frogs and gaps.To attach the Tie Work Car, plug in the wire connector to the plug on the back of the Tiejector. Couple the cars normally.Note! When firing the ElectroCoupler, the wired tether will remain attached. This can beremoved manually by grasping the plug at the connector. Do not pull on thewires themselves.Wire ConnectorTie-jectorFigure 3. Attaching the work car9Tie Work Car

Maintaining and Servicing your Tie-jectorWith proper care and maintenance, your Tie-jector should provide years of enjoyment.Servicing the LED headlightYour tie-jector's headlight is illuminated by an LED. The LED is expected to last for thelife of the tie-jector and is not user serviceable. Contact Lionel Service if your LED needsreplacing.Replacing the traction tireYour Tie-jector is equipped with a single traction tire (Lionel part no. 6208815206) to increasethe tractive effort of your tie-jector.During the course of normal operations, the traction tire may become worn out. Removethe worn tire, then slip the replacement around the wheel.10

Maintaining and Servicing your Tie-jectorLubricating your Tie-jectorHelp your Lionel Tie-jector lead a long and productive life on your railroad by maintaining it properly. To keep your tie-jector lubricated, we recommend that you purchase a Lionel Lubricationand Maintenance Kit (6-62927), available from your authorized Lionel dealer.When you find that the lubrication points illustrated in Figure 4 appear dry, lubricate yourTie-jector after you have removed any accumulated dirt and dust. There are two basic rules tokeep in mind when you are lubricating your Tie-jector: use only a small amount of lubricationand avoid getting grease or oil on your Tie-jector’s wheels, roller pick-ups, or the track.FRONTGrease SparinglyOil SparinglyOil SparinglyREARFigure 4.
