Adding fluid to your Locomotive’s smoke generator
Y
our Locomotive is equipped with a
smoke generator that produces safe,
clean white smoke during operation.
The smoke generator requires the periodic
addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order to
function. Pierce the tube end with a pin, then
add four to eight drops of fluid directly into
the Locomotive’s stack. Smoke production
will commence momentarily, faster if you
run your Locomotive at speed. When smoke
production wanes, add more fluid (four to
eight drops).
If you prefer to have a
smoke free
loco-
motive, there is a switch located on the bot-
tom of the engine under the cab (see page 11
for location). Move the switch to off and your
locomotive will stop smoking.
When the smoke unit is on
Always
keep a
small amount of smoke fluid in the
Locomotive’s smoke generator; the genera-
tor’s element can become damaged if operat-
ed without fluid. Smoke production is greater
at higher voltages and when the Locomotive
is pulling a heavy load or long consist.
Y
our steam locomotive’s headlight is illu-
minated by one lamp. During the course
of normal operation, the lamp may require
replacement.
Carefully remove the three cab screws
(see page 11 for location). Set the engine on
its side and carefully pull the front of the
frame away from the cab. Be careful you do
not bend the draw bar that connects the
engine to the tender. The lamp (600-2314-
300) is available from your Authorized
Lionel Service Center or Lionel Service. See
the Lionel Service section on page 12 for
more information. Remove the expired lamp
by unscrewing it, and replace it with a fresh
bulb. Reinstall the cab and the three screws
taking care to not pinch any wires during
reassembly.
Check to be sure the smoke stack is
aligned with the smoke generator.
