Adding smoke fluid to your locomotive’s smoke generator
Y
our locomotive is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe, clean white smoke dur-
ing operation if the smoke unit switch is in the ON position. Refer to Figure 9 on page 15 for the
location of the switch.
The smoke generator requires the periodic addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order to function.
A small bottle of smoke fluid is included with this set. Press down and unscrew the cap. Pierce
the end of the nozzle with a pin, then add about four drops of fluid directly into the locomotive’s
stack. Smoke production commences momentarily. It will start faster if you run your locomotive
at higher speeds. When smoke production decreases, add more fluid (about four drops). An idle
locomotive will not smoke.
Smoke production is greater at higher voltages and when the locomotive is pulling a heavy load or
a long consist.
Slide the smoke unit switch to the OFF position if the locomotive remains in neutral.
The smoke unit will become damaged if the locomotive is left sitting on the track with
power on.
If you prefer to operate the locomotive without smoke or you do not want to add smoke
fluid, slide the smoke unit switch to the OFF position.
Note!
Caution!
