Adding Water
NOTE! ONLY DISTILLED WATER IS PERMITTED TO BE USED OR YOU WILL DAM-
AGE YOUR 100% COPPER BOILER!
Distilled water is easily found at most drugstores
and supermarkets
(See fig. #10).
Unscrew and remove the cover of the water inlet and add 500 ml of the distilled water
with a measuring cup. Measured out, 500ml will normally be two cups worth if the boiler
is empty. Rescrew back the filler cap and tighten with a wrench until the cap is secure.
We recommend you use a clear water cup with measurements indicated. This fill should
be done while the locomotive is already on the tracks and should be done using the
supplied metal funnel into the opening
(SEE FIG. #11). Do not use a plastic funnel as it
may melt if the engine is warm!
The next step is adding water into the boiler. At this point, your locomotive should already
be placed on the track. Please drain all leftover water so that your new fill can be precise.
