This Steam engine
is operated by means of steam pressure generated by heating water
in the boiler, using small fuel tablets placed in a tray beneath
the boiler. The boiler is equipped with a safety valve and whistle*
(top center). The engine is equipped with a throttle (on steam pipe)
to control the speed of the engine from full throttle (handle parallel
with the steam pipe) to complete stop (handle in cross potion to
the steam pipe) Place unit on a level surface which will not
be harmed by heat or water. Be sure the safety valve is operable
by pulling up spring loaded stem. By filling initially with hot
water, a longer running period may be obtained. *
Except model #85 and #85G
