Preparation to Running
To connect the tender to the locomotive there are 3 lines to be connected.
1. Water feed line high pressure on the left side with the M5 threaded
connection
2. Center line is the fuel both gas and Alcohol
3. Right side is the bypass return
,
a low pressure line
Always service the engine fully for each run. Gas, Oil and Water
1.
To fill the Butane gas tank, remove the tender deck cover and set
aside for ease of access to the tender. Invert
the
gas can onto
the
filler
valve and support the tender whil
e
filling to prevent the loco from tilting.
Be aware of your surroundings and other running locomotives as Butane
creates a puddle of gas that is invisible when filling. Gas will squirt out of
the valve
when full, at that time remove the can. For filling Alcohol fueled
versions be sure the fuel valve is closed
,
then open the filler cap and fill to
the top.
Open the Butane gas valve, DO NOT LIGHT but listen for the gas
through the jet, you should hear a smooth gas sound. If there is any
sputtering or squirting of gas allow it to pass until it is smooth. Shut the
gas valve The gas tank is now ready and full. Bleeding off the tank
allows the liquid in the tank above the valve to vent so lighting is easier
and large fires are avoided.
