Adding smoke fluid to your locomotive’s smoke generator
B
oth A-units are equipped with a smoke
generator that produces safe, clean,
white smoke during operation. Periodically,
you will need to add smoke fluid to the
locomotives. A small tube of smoke fluid is
included with this set.
To add smoke fluid, pierce the end of the
tube with a pin. Before you begin, be sure
that your locomotive is on a level surface
with the smoke generator off. Add four to
eight drops of smoke fluid into the stack as
illustrated in Figure 4. When smoke
production decreases, add four to eight drops
of smoke fluid in the same manner.
Additional smoke fluid (6-62909) is
available from your Lionel dealer.
To turn off the smoke generators, slide
the SMK/NO SMK switch at the bottom of
each locomotive to the NO SMK position (see
Figure 1 on page 5 for the location of this
switch). When the smoke generator is on, be
sure that there is smoke fluid in the smoke
generator to avoid damage. Smoke
production is greater when the locomotive is
pulling a heavy load and at higher voltages.

and may damage your engine.
