2.4 Preparation for the first test run
Components: distilled water, steam engine oil, dry spirit tablets
Please operate the steam engine model only according to the instructions
and the safety instructions.
Operating instructions
1.
Filling with water at the first operation and after cooling of the boiler:
Unscrew the spring loaded safety valve and fill the boiler with the
funnel up to the water level maximum (upper end of the sight glass), if
possible with warm water. Lift the funnel slightly during filling so that
the air inside the boiler can escape. Use only deficient in lime water or,
even better, water without any lime (e.g. distilled water). Then refit
the spring-loaded safety valve.
2.
Screw the steam whistle onto the boiler. When screwing in the steam
whistle, the lever should point outwards (use washers if necessary) so
that the operation of the whistle is possible without having contact with
the boiler. Do not pull or pull out the lever, only move it carefully from
side to side.
Note: The steam whistle makes it possible to regulate easily any overpres-
sure in the boiler or check before oiling whether the boiler is still under
pressure.
3.
Only oil the piston when there is no pressure in the boiler. To check
this, operate the steam whistle several times. When the piston needs to
be oiled remove the piston rod from the pin of the crank disk and apply
abt. 2-3 drops of Wilesco steam engine oil onto the piston and abt. 2-3
drops into the cylinder itself. 2-3 drops oil are sufficient for approx. 10
minutes operating time. Oil lightly all of the bearings and linkages.
Before refilling the boiler with water, check that no pressure is in the
boiler through operating the steam whistle.
4.
Place 1 1/2 WiTabs dry fuel tablets upright in the burner
slide (not more than 1 1/2 pcs.) and light them. Use only
the original WILESCO burner slide. Caution:
