What's in the Box

• 1 x Bottle of Lionel Wood Stove-Scented Smoke Fluid (2 fl. oz.)

Setup

1. Prepare Locomotive: Ensure your locomotive's smoke unit is clean and free of debris before adding fluid. Refer to your locomotive's specific instruction manual for details on its smoke unit.
2. Open Fluid Bottle: Carefully remove the cap from the smoke fluid bottle. Note that the bottle may not include a dropper, requiring careful pouring.
3. Locate Smoke Stack: Identify the smoke stack opening on your Lionel electric locomotive.
4. Add Fluid: Slowly and carefully dispense approximately 10-15 drops of smoke fluid into the smoke stack opening. Avoid overfilling, as this can lead to leakage or damage.
5. Secure Cap: Replace the cap securely on the smoke fluid bottle to prevent evaporation and spills.

Operating Instructions

1. Place Locomotive on Track: After adding the smoke fluid, place your locomotive on the track and ensure it is properly connected to power.
2. Start Operation: Start the locomotive. Smoke production will typically begin shortly after the smoke unit heats up, usually within a few minutes of operation.
3. Observe Smoke Output: The amount of smoke may increase as the train runs and the smoke unit reaches optimal operating temperature. For best results, operate the locomotive at a consistent speed.
4. Refill as Needed: If smoke production decreases significantly, add more fluid as needed, following the steps in the Setup section. Do not allow the smoke unit to run dry for extended periods, as this can cause damage.

Maintenance

• Storage: Store the smoke fluid in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cap Security: Keep the bottle tightly capped when not in use to prevent evaporation and contamination.
• Smoke Unit Cleaning: Periodically clean the smoke unit of your locomotive according to your locomotive's specific instruction manual to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
• Fluid Compatibility: Avoid mixing different types or brands of smoke fluid, as this may lead to unexpected results or damage to the smoke unit.

Troubleshooting

No Smoke Production:

• Check Fluid Level: Ensure there is sufficient smoke fluid in the locomotive's smoke unit.
• Verify Power: Confirm the locomotive is receiving power and the smoke unit is activated (if applicable).
• Allow Warm-up Time: Smoke units require a few minutes to heat up before producing smoke.
• Clean Smoke Unit: A clogged smoke unit may prevent smoke production. Refer to your locomotive's manual for cleaning instructions.

Low Smoke Output:

• Add More Fluid: The smoke unit may be running low on fluid.
• Increase Speed: Some smoke units produce more smoke at higher locomotive speeds.
• Check for Blockages: Ensure the smoke stack is clear of any obstructions.

Unusual Odor:

• Ensure Proper Fluid: Only use Lionel-approved smoke fluid. Mixing fluids can cause unexpected odors.
• Ventilate Area: Ensure adequate ventilation in the operating area.
