f you experience poor or no smoke output when the smoke unit is on and has
fluid, check the wick to see if it has become hard, blackened, and unabsorbent
around the heating element. Remove the smoke unit inspection cover from the
smoke unit (see Fig. 7). After removing the chassis and inspection cover screws,
lift the inspection plate away and inspect the wick. If it is darkly discolored and
hard, it should be replaced.
You can obtain replacement parts directly from the M.T.H. Parts Department.
