Lubrication
You should lubricate the engine to prevent it from squeaking. Use
light household oil and follow the lubrication points marked “L” in
Fig. 1. Do not over-oil. Use only a drop or two on each pivot point.

Priming The Smoke Unit
When preparing to run this engine, add 15-20
drops of smoke fluid through
the smokestack. We
recommend M.T.H.
ProtoSmoke, Seuthe, LGB, or
LVTS fluids. Do not overfill
the unit or the fluid may leak
out and coat the interior engine
components.
If you choose not to add the
fluid (or have already added the
fluid but choose to run smoke-free), turn off the smoke unit switch located under the
engine (see Fig. 2).
Failure either to add fluid to the unit or to turn it off may
damage the smoke unit heating element and/or wicking material.
DO NOT
OVER OIL
Running the engine without a primed
smoke unit may cause damage
