Lubricating the Engine
Lubricate all exposed moving parts before operating using a multi-purpose,
plastic-compatible oil (available with M.T.H.'s Maintenance Kit, sold
separately) or a light household oil. Follow the lubrication points.
Priming the Smoke Unit
Y
ou should prime the smoke unit with smoke fluid before
operating. Add 15-20 drops of smoke fluid from the
included pipette through the smokestack, then gently blow
into the stack to eliminate any air bubbles in the fluid.
If you choose not to prime the unit with fluid, turn the
smoke unit switch located under the tender to the OFF
position.
Running the engine without a primed smoke
unit may cause damage.
See the "ProtoSmoke Unit
Operation" section of this book for more information
on smoke unit maintenance.
