Heisler Live Steam
Safety
For your safety, there are certain rules
that should be observed, as follows:
1. The safety valve is under the steam
dome (the dome nearest the cab). It
has been set at the factory to release
at 60 pounds per square inch of pres-
sure. Never tamper with the safety
valve.
2. The firing system has been de
-
signed to use butane gas only. Never
use any other gas (including propane
or butane/propane mix), as the storage
pressures can reach unsafe levels.
3. Always refuel the engine away from
other working live-steam locomotives.
The fuel filling system allows a small
amount of the gas to bleed off as the
fuel tank is being filled. A passing en
-
gine can ignite this bleed-off gas, caus-
ing a potentially hazardous situation.
4. When lighting up, light your match
first, then turn on the gas.
5. A steam engine gets hot. Be care-
ful. The following parts are packaged
separately
- M3 hex head screws
- 3 mm hex head screw driver
- 5 ml syringe – steam oil
- 50 ml syringe - water
