Premier U50C Diesel Engine Operating Instructions
When storing the unit for long periods of
time, you may want to add about 15 drops
of fluid to prevent the wick from drying
out.
After removing the engine from storage,
add another 25 drops of fluid, letting the
wick soak up the fluid for 15 minutes prior
to operation.If you experience poor or no
smoke output when the smoke unit is on
and has fluid, check the wick to see if it has
become hard, blackened, and unabsorbent
around the heating element. Remove the
smoke unit inspection cover from the
smoke unit’s body (see Fig. 4). After
removing the chassis and inspection cover
screws, lift the inspection plate away and
inspect the wick. If it is darkly discolored and hard, it should be replaced.
Replacement wicks are available from the M.T.H. Parts Department.
