The RailKing Car Wash is made up of three components: the car wash building and base, the car, and the activation button. Before you place the car wash on the layout, you must wire the car wash to the activation button and power source.
Priming the Smoke Unit Priming the Smoke Unit: The smoke unit is essentially a small heating element and wick. The wick soaks up a mineral oil-based fluid, which is then "cooked" by the heating element to emit a harmless smoke. It is forced into the car wash by a small electric fan that runs at a constant speed.
Operating Instructions Operating Instructions: Before operating the car wash, you must first place the two drying figures and the car on the base. Insert the tabs on the bottoms of the drying figures into their slots in the following order: The man wearing the white shirt goes in the slot nearest the car wash exit, and the man in the gray shirt goes in the slot farther from the car wash exit.
