Smoke Unit On/Off
Control
Figure 2. NOTE: Smoke Unit Switch is now a volume pot type control. The amount of smoke can be
varied by the adjustment of the smoke control under the tender. By rotating the control, the smoke
can be varied from off to fullforce or any amount in between.
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.
