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.

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 on top of the tender (see Fig. 8).

Failure either to add fluid to the unit or

to turn it off may damage the smoke unit

heating element and/or wicking material.
