19. Q. How would you start the stoker engine?

A. Place operating lever 10 in horizontal or running position. Place

conveyor reversing lever 12 in forward position. Open valve 6, which

allows the steam to pass to the operating valve and starts stoker

running. Valve 7 is to be used as an emergency valve only in case of

clogging. Stoker should be run slowly at first. Do not feed too much

coal and carry a light fire.
