Priming the Smoke Unit

When preparing to run this engine, add 15-20 drops of smoke fluid through the
smokestack (see Fig. 2). We recommend M.T.H. ProtoSmoke, Seuthe, LGB, or
LVTS fluids. Do not overfill the unit or the fluid may leak out and coat the interior
engine components.
If you choose not to add smoke fluid (or have already added fluid but choose to
run smoke-free), turn off the smoke unit by turning the smoke unit volume control
fully counter-clockwise. Failure either to add fluid to the smoke unit or to turn
it off may damage the smoke unit heating element and/or wicking material.
