Lubricating the Engine
Lubricate all exposed moving parts before operating using a multi-purpose,
plastic-compatible oil (available with M.T.H.'s Maintenance Kit, sold
separately) or a light household oil. Follow the lubrication points.
Priming the Smoke Unit
You should prime the smoke unit with smoke fluid before operating. Add 15-20 drops of
smoke fluid from the included pipette through the smokestack, then gently blow into the
stack to eliminate any air bubbles in the fluid.
If you choose not to prime the unit with fluid, turn the smoke unit control located under
the tender to the OFF position (Full Counter Clockwise Position).
Running the engine without a primed smoke unit may cause damage. See the
"ProtoSmoke Unit Operation" section of this book for more information on smoke unit
maintenance.
