Priming The Smoke Unit; Checking The Battery - M.T.H. Premier Genesis Diesel Locomotive Operator's Manual

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 the fluid (or have
already added the fluid but choose to run
smoke-free), turn off the smoke unit
switch located under the engine (see Fig.
3). Failure either to add fluid to the
unit or to turn it off may damage the
smoke unit heating element and/or
wicking material.
Running the engine without a primed
smoke unit may cause damage

Checking The Battery

You may find, if your locomotive was built several months before you set it up, that the
rechargeable battery has run down and needs to be charged before operating. If you
notice that the sounds are garbled, test and charge the engine as described in the
"Self-Charging Battery Back-Up" on page 15.
