Operating Instructions

IMPORTANT: Read these instructions carefully before operating the
locomotive
The following items are required for running this engine and are not in-
cluded with the model.
Fuel
Water
Lubricating oil See 'Lubrication'
This is a working model locomotive using steam under pressure and
highly flammable fuel. Provided it is operated with reasonable care and
attention, no problems should arise.
It is intended for use out of doors and must only be operated in a well-
ventilated area.
Whilst the locomotive is in use, hot gasses are exhausted up the chim-
ney and excess steam frequently blows off through the safety valve
even when stationary, so operator and spectators should not bend over
the model.
As you will appreciate, this is not a toy and is therefore unsuitable for
young unsupervised children.
Follow manufacturers recommendations regarding the safe storage of
Butane gas canisters.
Some areas of the model will get quite hot whilst it is operating, so a
pair of gloves are provided in the tool kit for your protection.
Always have to hand either a fire extinguisher or wet cloth when oper-
ating the model.
