2. Lubricate each motion point with a lubrication oil as discussed
previously. Drain and fill the displacement lubricator in the cab until the
oil is just to the fill bushing. Use a ISO460 oil only. Use a syringe to full
the lubricator.
3. To fill the boiler you will use the hand pump to f
i
ll the boiler to ¾ full
glass. You will need to close the bypass valve located on the right side
under the cab. It will send all the water to the boiler when closed.
Leaving a space of air in the boiler will allow the steam to build and water
to expand allowing for easier starts when cold. You can maintain the
water level using the hand pump during operation in conjunction with the
axle pump. Reinstall the boiler filler do not over tighten as damage to the
O-ring will happen.
Lighting up
Both versions will require a draft fan AP-28202 for start up.
Be sure the throttle is closed and the Johnson bar is in neutral. And
typically open the bypass so there is less strain on startup. Set the draft fan
on the chimney in the off position.
For Butane - Open the firebox door as this boiler uses a ceramic burner
for operation and slightly open the gas valve
.
U
sing a stick lighter bring
the flame to the door. The burner should light then turn on the fan. Check
the flame and make sure it is a strong blue flame, if yellow or green adjust
the air collar on the burner flange in the cab. Close the door.
For Alcohol – Open the fuel valve and allow so sit and flow into the
burner pot for 1-2 mins to ensure good wicking of the fuel in the burner.
Once ready to light, turn on the fan and using a stick lighter or a lit wick
insert to the firebox to ignite. All pots should be lit and visible from the
door. Close the door.
Once the pressure is up to 20
psi you can open the blower valve slightly
and remove the fan from the stack. Pressure will climb quickly on the
blower. Once up to pressure
of
50-60
psi
,
the safety should lift and you are
ready to run and clear the cylinders. The locomotive has operating
cylinder drain cocks, they can be opened by sliding the lever fore and aft
for operation. Water and oil will eject from the chimney, a cloth or towel
will help deflect and keep the loco clean.
