Operators Service Manual - PROCEDURE FOR SMOKE OPERATION.
You can choose to operate the smoke
unit, but first you will need to fill the
fluid reservoir with fluid. A cross
section of the locomotive shows that
the reservoir is located underneath
the smoke stack. 10 drops of fluid
is enough. Over filling the reservoir
should be avoided but will cause no
damage to the unit. You may experi-
ence liquid dripping out the bottom of
your locomotive if this happens by the
bleeder valve. This is not a cause for
concern.
The smoke feature is controlled by a
micro switch located underneath the
sand dome. To remove the sand dome,
you must pull STRAIGHT up. DO NOT
lift on an angle. This will cause dam-
age to the support pins.
Regular maintenance is a vital part of any electrical toy. While we have tried to make service inter-
vals as infrequent as possible, you should be aware that lubrication may need to be performed at some
time. Our Bronzite bushings use a self-lubricating formula, as the axles turn and generate heat, the
bushings release an oil that both lubricates and polishes the axle at the contact point, allowing for
better electrical connections and less often servicing. Small bits of debris may get stuck to the lubrica-
tion and axles during operation. After operation; or if you notice erratic running, Check the axles for
layout bits, hair or other loose items that may find there way into the operational area. When handling
the locomotive, please be careful as there are small parts that can be bent out of place or broken off. To
avoid the spread of oils on your model, it is recommended that you use rubber gloves or finger cots - if
you do get finger prints on your model, you can clean them a cotton swab. DO NOT USE ACETONE
or other harsh cleaning checmicals, as this may damage your model. For information on how to ser-
vice your model, please see the next page.
