Sollte der Brennerschieber einmal festsitzen, kann man diesen dann durch ein leichtes
Verkanten nach links/rechts lösen.
Achtung: Die Befeuerung mit Trockenbrennstofftabletten erfordert viel
Sauerstoff. Eine gute Belüftung des Zimmers ist daher notwendig!
Tabletten, die nicht restlos abgebrannt sind, wegen der auftretenden Ge-
ruchsbelästigung nicht ausblasen, sondern unbedingt ausbrennen lassen.
Falls nicht genügend Wasser im Kessel ist, sollte der Brennerschieber auf
eine feuerfesten Unterlage gelegt werden und hier die Brennstofftabletten
restlos abbrennen lassen.
16. Das Dampfabsperrventil bei sichtbarer Dampfentwicklung (Manometerstand ca. 1
bar) durch eine Drehung nach links öffnen. Das Schwungrad von Hand anwerfen, damit
das in der Dampfleitung und dem Zylinder befindliche Kondenswasser entweichen kann.
Dadurch setzt sich die Dampfmaschine in Betrieb. Die Drehzahl des Schwungrades kann
durch das Dampfabsperrventil geregelt werden.
17. Der Kondenswasserbehälter sollte während des Dampfbetriebes mehrfach entleert
werden. Hierzu vorher das Dampfabsperrventil schließen und die Dampfmaschine stop-
pen.
18. Nach Beendigung des Dampfbetriebes und dem Abkühlen sollte die Dampfmaschine
gewartet werden. Noch im Kessel vorhandenes Wasser durch das Öffnen des Wasserab-
lassventils entleeren. Hierzu das Wasserablassventil öffnen und die Dampfpfeife durch
leichtes Ziehen an der Kette öffnen - so entsteht kein Unterdruck beim Entleeren des
Restwassers. Vorsicht bei heißem Wasser! Im Kessel verbleibendes Wasser kann der
Funktion nicht schaden, aber evtl. zu Ablagerungen an dem Schauglas führen. Kalkrück-
stände am Wasserstandsschauglas oder im Kessel auf keinen Fall mit Essig oder sons-
tigen stark ätzenden Mitteln entfernen (Empfehlung: Verwendung eines kalklösenden
Mittels, welches Messing und Lötzinn nicht angreift). Eine Rußbildung an der Unterseite
des Kessels beeinflusst ebenfalls nicht die Funktion und kann mit einer Bürste entfernt
werden. Zum Abschluss das Modell trockenputzen.
Garantie:
19. Alle WILESCO-Dampfmodelle durchlaufen eine Endkontrolle. Bei einem evt. Fehler
können Sie die Dampfmaschine über Ihren Fachhändler oder direkt an uns einsenden.
Wir bitten um Verständnis, dass bereits angeheizte/gebrauchte Modelle nicht ge-
gen neue ausgetauscht werden können. Die häufigsten Reklamationen sind undichte
Dampfkessel. Die Lötnaht wird durch Beheizung ohne ausreichenden Wasserstand zer-
stört. In solchen Fällen verflüssigt sich das Lötzinn an der Lötnaht tropfenförmig und der
Kessel wird undicht. Dies ist ein eindeutiger Beweis, daß der Kessel trockenbeheizt wur-
de. Bitte beobachten Sie stets sorgfältig den Wasserstand, da eine Trockenbehei-
zung jegliche Garantieansprüche ausschließt.
Umweltschutz wird auch bei uns groß geschrieben. Somit haben Sie die Möglichkeit
nach einem langen Dampfmaschinenleben diese und auch die Original-Verpackung an
uns zurückzugeben. (Versandkosten werden nicht übernommen.) Alle zurückgesandten
Modelle / Verpackungen werden von uns einem fachgerechten Recycling zugeführt.
Dieses Modell ist ausschließlich für die oben beschriebene Funktion bestimmt.
Technische Änderungen behalten wir uns vor.
WILESCO wünscht Ihnen nun viel Spaß mit Ihrer Dampfmaschine und „Volldampf vo-
raus„!
Attention! Before operating this steam engine model please
read and observe thoroughly the operation instructions.
Important information and safety precautions for your own
safety:
1. For safety reasons, children should run the steam engine
only under supervision of adults (recommended age: from 8
years on, not recommended for children under 36 months).
During the operation of the steam model until its complete
cooling the engine must be under constant observation.
2. Each irregularity during operation has to be repaired by a competent and authorized
person or by WILESCO themselves. Otherwise any warranty expires.
3. Any unauthorized change, repair or manipulation to the standard specification will
also invalidate the warranty.
4. All parts which are under steam pressure so as boiler, spring loaded safety valve etc.
leave our works only after a 100% examination. The spring loaded safety valve must not
be manipulated. The operation of the steam engine without any spring loaded safety
valve is not allowed The function of the spring loaded valve has to be checked before
each operation by pressing the spring or by a small pull on the upper valve rod. If lime
residues caused by hard water are visible on the spring loaded safety valve, it has to be
replaced immediately.
5. High temperatures: The principles on which the engine works mean that the burner
slide, boiler, boiler house, the spring loaded safety valve, the steam pipes etc. become
very hot. Do not touch in order to avoid the risk of burns.
6. Safety precautions: During operation, take care that children do not touch any of the
moving parts.
7. Danger if the boiler is heated without enough water! Always ensure
that there is enough water in the boiler of the steam engine. Caution: When
refilling WiTabs dry fuel tablets also refill up to the max. level.. The
water must always be visible at least at the lower end of the sight
glass, otherwise the joints become leaking and the boiler will be destroyed.
Any resulting claim, damage or consequential damage cannot be accepted.
If the boiler or any steam leading part leak, stop the steam model immediately by
removing the burner slide. Any necessary repair should be carried out by authorized staff
or at the WILESCO company.
8. The steam engine meets all safety standards and actual regulations. Each boiler has
been submitted to a bursting pressure and water test of 5 bar. The operating pressure is
maximally 1,5 bar.
9. Imperatively keep the operating instructions with your steam engine.
10. We advise you to place the stationary steam engine on a non sliding surface or fix it
onto a coated chipboard (approx. 16 mm thick) with 4 woodscrews (3,4 x 45 mm). The
size of the board depends on how many models will be run with the steam engine.
Caution: Don't operate the steam model near flammable objects or on tempera-
ture-sensitive surfaces. Operation only under windless condition.
Operating instructions
11. Filling with water at the first operation and after cooling of the boiler: Unscrew the
spring loaded safety valve and fill the boiler with the funnel up to the water level
maximum (upper end of the sight glass), if possible with warm water. Lift the funnel
slightly during filling so that the air inside the boiler can escape. Use only deficient in
lime water or, even better, water without any lime (e.g. distilled water). Then refit the
spring-loaded safety valve.
12. Screw the pressure gauge with sealing ring(s) onto the boiler. Bring its face to the
front side (eventually use further sealing rings of different thicknesses).
13. Screw the steam whistle onto the boiler. Do use only the spanner provided with the
Engine. Do not tighten by turning the lever as this will be damaged. When screwing in
the steam whistle, the lever with the chain should point outwards (use washers if
necessary) so that the chain which operates the whistle does not come in contact with the
boiler. Pull the chain gently to operate the whistle. Note: The steam whistle allows to
regulate easily any overpressure in the boiler. Assemble the smoke stack with the
enclosed screws on the back side of the boiler house.
14. Before you oil the cylinder, turn off the steam supply valve. Then turn off the oil
filler screw and fill in with WILESCO steam oil (item n° Z 83) while turning the
flywheel several times so that the oil is drawn in. Oil again when you refill WiTabs dry
fuel tablets so that the piston does not seize (2-3 drops oil are enough for approx. 10
minutes running time). Keep the steam supply valve closed during the oiling
procedure. Oil lightly all of the bearings and linkages. Before refilling the boiler with
water, check by operating the steam whistle that no steam pressure is in the boiler.
15. Place WiTabs dry spirit tablets upright into the burner slide ( not more
than 3 pcs.) and light them. Use only the original WILESCO burner slide.
Caution: Because of the risk of danger from an open flame, always
take the necessary safety precautions.
The burner slide is adjustable.The oxygen supply and the flame height can
be adjusted by moving the burner slide in relation to the air holes of the
burner slide guide in the boiler house. Before adding new fuel tablets, always check the
water level and refill the boiler with water to ensure that the boiler does not run dry. The
ratio of fuel tablets to the quantity of water in the boiler is designed so that the boiler
cannot run dry without any added fuel tablets. The burner slide must be completely
pushed in so that the flame does not damage the handwheel of the water drain valve.
Important: After the heating process, remove the burner slide from the guide
whilst it is still hot, otherwise unburnt fuel may cause the slide to stick. If the slide
becomes stuck, it can be removed by tilting it slightly to the left or right.
Caution: Dry fuel tablets require a lot of oxygen to burn properly. That is
the reason why, for an indoors use, the room should be well
ventilated. To prevent unpleasant smells, the fuel tablets should be burnt
out - they should not be blown out. If there is not enough water in the
boiler, place the burner slide on a fireproof plate until the tablets have
burned out completely.
16. When steam appears (manometer indicating approx. 1 bar), turn once the steam
supply valve to the left to open it. Then turn the flywheel by hand to let the condensation
in the pipes and the cylinder escape. Then the steam engine will start to operate. The
speed of the flywheel can be adjusted through the steam regulator.
17. The condensed water tray must be emptied several times while the steam engine is
running. Before you empty the condensed water tray, turn off the steam regulator and
stop the steam engine.
18. After the use of the steam engine and its cooling, the engine should be serviced. Pour
out any water left in the boiler by opening the water drain valve. For this, unscrew the
spring loaded valve, then open the steam whistle by pulling gently on the chain. This will
prevent a vacuum when the residual water is drained off. Be very careful if the water
is still hot! Any water left in the boiler cannot do any damage, but might leave sediment
on the sight glass. Any lime formation on the sight glass or in the boiler have not to be
removed in any case using vinegar or corrosive agent (advise: Use a lime dissolving
agent which does not attack the brass and the solder). The building of sood on the lower
side of the boiler does not influence the function and can be removed with a brush.
Finally, dry the model using a clean cloth.
Guarantee:
19. All WILESCO steam engines are carefully checked before leaving the factory.
However, if a problem arises, you can return the steam engine to a specialized distributor
or directly to WILESCO. We are sure you will understand that already fired or
used models cannot be replaced by new ones. The most frequent claim is a leaking
boiler. The solder will be destroyed if there is not enough water in the boiler. In such
cases, the solder liquefies drop-shaped and the boiler becomes leaky. This is an obvious
proof that the boiler was fired without enough water. Please watch always carefully the
water level, because heating without enough water excludes warranty claim.
This steam engine is only meant for the above described function.
Technical specifications can be changed without prior notice.
WILESCO wishes you lots of fun with your steam engine and „full steam ahead"!
