Priming the Smoke Unit
When preparing to run this engine, add
15-20 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 under 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.
