Lubrication
You should lubricate the engine to prevent it from squeaking. Use light
household oil and follow the lubrication points marked “L” in Fig. 7. Do
not over-oil. Use only a drop or two on each pivot point.

Priming the Smoke Unit
When preparing to run this engine, add
10 drops of smoke fluid through the
smokestack. We recommend M.T.H.
ProtoSmoke, Seuthe, LGB, or LVTS
fluids. Do not overfill the unit or the
fluid may leak out and coat the interior
engine components.
If you choose not to add the fluid (or
have already added the fluid but choose
to run smoke-free), turn off the smoke
unit switch located on top of the tender
(see Fig. 8).
Failure either to add fluid
to the unit or to turn it off may
damage the smoke unit heating
element and/or wicking material.
