Forney Live Steam Instructions

Safety
For your safety, there are certain rules that should be observed, as follows:
1. The safety valve has been set at the factory to release at 30 pounds per
square inch of pressure.
Never tamper with the safety valve
.
2. The fi ring system has been designed to use butane gas only. Never use
any other gas (including propane or butane/propane mix), as the storage
pressures can reach unsafe levels.
3. Always refuel the engine away from other working live-steam locomotives.
The
fuel
fi lling system allows a small amount of the gas to bleed off as
the fuel tank is being fi lled. A passing engine can ignite this bleed-off gas,
causing a potentially hazardous situation.
4. When lighting up, light the match fi rst, then turn on the gas.
5. A steam engine gets hot. Be careful. Lift the Forney by holding the end
steps when hot.
