Adding smoke fluid to your locomotive’s smoke generator
Y
our locomotive is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe, clean white smoke
during operation if the smoke unit switch is in the ON position. Refer to Figure 7 on
page 12 for the location of the switch.
The smoke generator requires the periodic addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order to function.
A small bottle of smoke fluid is included with this set. Press down and unscrew the cap. Pierce the
end of the nozzle with a pin, then add about four drops of fluid directly into the locomotive’s
stack. Smoke production commences momentarily. It will start faster if you run your locomotive
at higher speeds. When smoke production decreases, add more fluid (about four drops). An idle
locomotive will not smoke.
Smoke production is greater at higher voltages and when the locomotive is pulling a heavy
load or a long consist.
Slide the smoke unit switch to the OFF position if the locomotive
remains in neutral. The smoke unit will become damaged if the
locomotive is left sitting on the track with power on.
If you prefer to operate the locomotive without smoke or you do not want to add
smoke fluid, slide the smoke unit switch to the OFF position.
Note!
Caution!
