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.

Lubricate Pick Up Rollers (L)

Lubricate Side Rods and Linkage (L) (Both Sides)

Lubricate Axle Bushings (L)

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
