Lubrication
You should lubricate the engine to prevent it from squeaking. Use
light household oil and follow the lubrication points marked “L” in
Fig. 1. 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 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
