Startup Instructions: Unscrew the safety valve on top of the boiler and add water with a syringe, ensuring not to exceed 1.5 times the boiler's capacity. Leave space for steam generation. Add oil to the small oil cup on the steam pipe to lubricate the engine. Fill the alcohol lamp with fuel and ignite to start heating the boiler. Once steam is produced, gently turn the flywheel clockwise to start the engine.
