Adding smoke fluid to your locomotive's smoke generator
Y
our locomotive is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe, clean white smoke
during operation if the smoke unit switch is in the ON position. Refer to Figure 8 on page
14 for the location of the switch.
The smoke generator requires the periodic addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order to func-
tion. 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 fluid, slide the smoke unit switch to the OFF position.
When the smoke unit switch is in the ON position, always keep a small amount

of smoke fluid in the locomotive's smoke generator; the generator's element can
become damaged if operated without smoke fluid. This is particularly true if your
locomotive sits in neutral for an extended period of time without smoke fluid in
the generator.
