Adding Smoke Fluid To Locomotive - Lionel The Polar Express Owner's Manual

Operating your train set
Adding smoke fluid to your locomotive's smoke generator

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 17 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.

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.
