Operating instructions
Important information and safety precautions!
1.
For safety reasons, children (recommended age: 8 year and above) should only use the
Steam engine under adult supervision.
(Because of steam pressure, hot boiler, hot steam pipes
and flames etc.) Do not leave the steam engine unattended either during operation or whilst the
engine is cooling after operating.
2.
If any problem occurs with the steam engine, the matter should only be dealt with by a distributor
or the WILESCO factory. Attempts to repair by other persons will invalidate the warranty.
3.
Any alteration to the Standard specification carried out by persons (other than WILESCO Agents)
will also invalidate the warranty.
4.
Only WILESCO genuine parts or accessories should be used (boiler, spring loaded safety valve
etc.) as these have been factory tested. For safety reasons, the spring safety valve must not be
adjusted. It is illegal to operate a steam engine without a spring safety valve. Always check the
valve for correct operation before use.
5.
High temperature:
The principles on which your steam engine operates mean that the burner
tray, the boiler housing, the spring loaded safety valve, the steam pipes etc. become very hot. Do
not touch, in order to avoid the risk of burns!
6.
Safety precautions:
Do not touch and in particular do not let the children touch any of the moving
parts while the steam engine is in operation.
6a) In the case of an emergency or if the engine has to be moved, the model can be lifted by the
roof.
7.
Do not heat the boiler without sufficient water!
Always ensure that the steam engine
has sufficient water in the boiler during operations. Also check the water level carefully when
adding new dry fuel tablets. The water
must be visible at the lower end of the sight glass
(minimum).
If this instruction is ignored the boiler will be damaged and has to be replaced.
We
will not accept any claims whatsoever, including consequential damage, in this matter.
If a
leak occurs in the boiler, or any other part, stop using the steam engine immediately. Any
necessary repairs should only be carried out by trained staff, of at the WILESCO factory.
8.
The steam engine meets all safety standards and requirements. Every boiler has been submitted
to a bursting pressure and water test of 5 bar (approx. 71 psi). Boiler content 240 ccm, operation
pressure 1,5 bar (21 psi).
9.
Please keep the instructions in a safe place!
