Lubrication
You should lubricate the engine to prevent it from squeaking and to prevent excessive
wear. Use light household oil and follow the lubrication points marked “L” (shown
below). Do not over-oil. Use only a drop or two on each pivot point.
You can obtain replacement parts and replacement instructions from
the M.T.H. Parts Department

Priming the Smoke Unit
When preparing to run this engine, add 15-20 drops of smoke fluid through the
smokestack (see Fig. 2). We recommend M.T.H. ProtoSmoke™ fluid. Do not overfill
the unit or the fluid may leak out and coat the interior engine components.
If you choose not to add smoke fluid (or have already added fluid but choose to run
smoke-free), turn off the smoke unit by turning the smoke unit volume control fully
counter-clockwise
(smoke control shown in Figure 7 (page 9))
Failure either to add fluid to
the smoke unit or to turn it off may damage the smoke unit heating element
and/or wicking material.
