Internal lubrication is achieved by steam oil that is mixed with the
steam in the displacement lubricator, housed in the front, left-hand
side of the cab. Unscrew and remove the knurled cap from the top
of the lubricator. Locate the knurled lubricator drain screw located
under the cab floor. Unscrew this two or three turns, but do not
remove it. Any water in the lubricator will run out through the hole in
the drain screw. When the water has finished draining, tighten the
drain screw and refill the lubricator from the top with the steam oil
supplied. Replace the cap. Take time filling the lubricator,
especially when cold, as the oil takes time to run down and may
trap an air bubble. Both cap and drain screw are fitted with ‘O’ rings
and need only be closed finger tight.
NOTE:
Only special steam oil as supplied should be used in the
lubricator and under no circumstances should ordinary oil be
substituted, or damage may result.
4) LIGHTING THE BURNER
WARNING:
Before lighting read the section on the gas system in
the Troubleshooting section later on and be aware of potential
problems. If the gas system is not operating correctly,
shut it off
immediately
or damage may result.
Move the locomotive to another location before lighting. Butane is
heavier than air and small pockets of gas can collect around the
locomotive during filling.
To light the burner, hold a lighted match or cigarette lighter over the
top of the chimney and
slowly
open the gas regulator by turning it
anti-clockwise. The gas should ignite almost immediately with a
pop as the flame travels down the chimney and into the boiler tube.
The burner should be audible but not too loud.
NOTE
as stated above, the gas regulator should be opened slowly
until the burner ignites. If opened too quickly or too far, particularly
when the engine is cold or if the gas tank has just been filled, it is
possible that the flame may not ignite correctly, or may not travel
back into the boiler flue but stay in the smoke box. If this should
