4. Kuweka na Kuweka

Installation of the smoke unit requires careful handling and basic knowledge of model train wiring. If you are unsure, consult a qualified technician or refer to your locomotive's specific manual.

Prepare Locomotive: Ensure your G Scale locomotive is powered off and disconnected from the track power. Remove the locomotive body to access the interior.
Identify Installation Location: Locate a suitable space within your locomotive for the smoke unit. This is typically near the chimney or exhaust stack. Ensure there is enough clearance and that the unit will not interfere with moving parts.
Wiring: The PIKO 36142 Smoke Unit requires a 5V DC power supply. Identify the appropriate 5V output terminals or connection points within your locomotive's electrical system.
- Unganisha waya wa kahawia from the smoke unit to the positive (+) 5V terminal.
- Unganisha waya nyeupe from the smoke unit to the negative (-) or ground terminal.
Kumbuka: Always refer to your locomotive's wiring diagram for precise connection points and voltage outputs. Incorrect wiring can damage the smoke unit or the locomotive's electronics.
Kitengo cha Usalama: Once wired, secure the smoke unit in its designated location using appropriate mounting methods (e.g., adhesive, small clips, or a custom bracket). Ensure it is stable and its wires are not pinched or exposed to moving parts.
Reassemble Locomotive: Carefully reattach the locomotive body, ensuring no wires are trapped and all components fit correctly.

5. Maagizo ya Uendeshaji

Follow these steps to operate your PIKO G Scale Smoke Unit:

Fill with Smoke Fluid: Before first use, or when smoke production diminishes, carefully add a few drops of approved model train smoke fluid into the smoke unit's reservoir. Most units have a small opening at the top or side for this purpose. Do not overfill. Refer to your locomotive's manual for specific access to the smoke unit's filling port if it's integrated.
Tumia Nguvu: Place your locomotive on the track and apply power. The smoke unit will begin to heat up.
Activate Smoke: Depending on your locomotive's control system, the smoke unit may activate automatically with track power or require activation via a function button on your digital command control (DCC) system or a switch on analog layouts. Consult your locomotive's manual for specific activation methods.
Observe Smoke Production: After a short warm-up period (typically 30-60 seconds), the unit should begin producing smoke. The amount of smoke may vary based on the fluid level and power applied.

6. Matengenezo

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your smoke unit.

Refilling Smoke Fluid: Refill the smoke unit with fluid as needed. Do not allow the unit to run dry for extended periods, as this can damage the heating element.
Kusafisha: Periodically inspect the smoke unit's chimney or exhaust port for any residue buildup. Gently clean with a soft, dry brush if necessary. Do not use liquids for cleaning the electrical components.
Hifadhi: When not in use for extended periods, ensure the smoke unit is clean and dry. Store the locomotive in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

7. Utatuzi wa shida

If you encounter issues with your smoke unit, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:

Tatizo	Sababu inayowezekana	Suluhisho
No smoke production.	Hakuna nguvu kwa kitengo. Smoke fluid reservoir is empty. Unit not activated. Uunganisho wa wiring mbaya. Damaged heating element.	Check power supply and wiring (ensure 5V). Refill with approved smoke fluid. Ensure smoke function is activated via controller/switch. Inspect wiring for loose or incorrect connections. If damaged, the unit may need replacement.
Weak or inconsistent smoke.	Low smoke fluid level. Ugavi wa nguvu wa kutosha. Clogged smoke outlet.	Refill smoke fluid. Thibitisha usambazaji thabiti wa umeme wa 5V. Gently clear any obstructions from the smoke outlet.
Harufu ya kuwaka.	Unit running dry. Juzuu isiyo sahihitage imetumika.	Immediately turn off power and refill with smoke fluid. Disconnect power, check wiring for correct 5V connection. Do not reapply power if voltage sio sahihi.
