As you add water to your Live Steam Mikado, the indicator on the inside of the cab, the
sight glass
(See fig. #12) , will rise as well. Always make sure to monitor the water levels
of your Live Steam Mikado as you can seriously damage your unit if you run it dry.
Please check the sight glass to make sure the water level is no more than two-thirds
filled. If you have added too much water or a residual amount had remained, causing an
overfill, the
drain cock valve should be used to bring the water in the boiler to a correct
level (See fig. #13).
