Filling the lubricator: as you will read in the instructions fort he end of the
run, the lubricator should be empty of oil and water with the valve left in
open position. Now close the valve and remove the lubricator filler cap.
Fill up the lubricator with steam oil to about ¼ of an inch (about 1 cm)
below the top. Leave the filler cap off for the present, so that any tapped
air can escape. It can be refitted after you have filled up the boiler.
To fill the boiler: remove the filler cap and also open the water check
valve. Leave the boiler blow down valve open whilst raising steam.
Fill up the boiler completely – ideally use filtered rainwater or distilled
water using the large syringe provided. Replace the boiler filler cap,
check that the lubricator does not need topping up, and then replace its
filler cap also Filler caps should be firm tight. They are sealed with a
trapped “O” ring and, therefore should no be over-tightened.
