It is recommended that you use a thermos bottle of water, easily brought to the running
site, and this water need not be distilled and can come right from a tap. The warm water
needs to be filled in to the warm water bath area with a funnel after removing the screw in
the corner of the depression at the front of the tender, near the butane insert nozzle
(See
fig. #15).
Filling The Butane Gas Tank (continued)
Reinserting the screw is optional, but if you are going to transport the tender without
draining the water from the side cock, then you need to reinsert the screw and close it
using a flat-head screwdriver (not included). This will keep the water from spilling out and
possibly damaging the electronics. However, we really recommend draining the water
thoroughly before transport
(See fig. #16).

Location of tender side cock for draining of water
The fill needs to be done while on the track, rather than filling elsewhere and then carry-
ing to the track. You can remove the cooled water through the release valve before
refilling with warm water again before actually running and after the steam pressure has
indicated that the train is ready to go.
