Premier PA B-Unit Operating Manual

ProtoSmoke

Unit Operation

This Premier diesel locomotive contains a self-powered smoke unit that

outputs smoke through the smokestack on the roof of the engine. The smoke

unit is essentially a small heating element and wick that soaks up and then

heats a mineral oil-based fluid that emits a harmless smoke. The smoke is then

forced out of the stack by a small electric fan. Smoke volume is controlled by

the Proto-Sound 2.0 system.

With a few easy maintenance steps, you should

enjoy trouble-free smoke unit operation for

years.

When preparing to run this engine, add 15-20

drops of smoke fluid through the smokestack

(see Fig. 5). 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. 6). Failure

either to add fluid to the unit or to turn it off

may damage the smoke unit heating element

and/or wicking material.

When the smoke output while running the

engine begins to diminish, add another 10-15

drops of smoke fluid or turn the smoke unit off.

When storing the unit for long periods of time,

you may want to add about 15 drops of fluid to

prevent the wick from drying out.

After removing the engine from storage, add

another 25 drops of fluid, letting the wick soak up

the fluid for 15 minutes prior to operation.
