Operation
The #840 Powerhouse is equipped with an interior light and a smoke generator.
Operating voltage is between 10 and 18 volts.
The interior light is on anytime power is applied to the threaded terminal on the side of
the superstructure.
The smoke generator can be turned
on or off by opening or closing the
switch next to the threaded
terminals in the switch bank
attached to the side of the
superstructure.
To operate the smoke unit, add 25 -
30 drops of smoke fluid. Drip the
fluid into any one of the three
smokestacks. While any of the
three stacks can be used for filling
the smoke generator, it is
recommended that only one stack
be used for filling at any given time. DO NOT add smoke fluid to all three smokestacks
at once in order to prevent overfilling of the smoke generator. Excessive smoke fluid in
the generator will inhibit smoke operation.
DO NOT operate the smoke unit without sufficient smoke fluid in the generator
chamber. The wicking in the smoke generator will harden if operated without sufficient
fluid. This can cause the heating
element to burn out.
The smoke fluid tubes may become
clogged with condensed smoke
fluid from time to time. If this
occurs (as evidenced by diminished
smoke in any one of the stacks),
gently blow into the smoke fluid
tube. If desired, an empty squeeze
bottle could be used to force air
down through the tube(s).
