If you experience poor or no smoke output when the smoke unit is on and has fluid,
check the wick to see if it has become hard, blackened, and unabsorbent around the
heating element. To remove the smoke unit you will first have to remove the boiler shell
(by removing the body mounting screws shown in Fig. 16 on pg. 36).

1. Once the boiler has been removed, remove the inspection cover (See figure 20).
Inspect the wick; if it is darkly discolored and hard, it should be replaced.
