Lighting lnstructions1. IMPORTANT - Check that all washered joints are tightened.

See drawing (Top left hand side of instructions).2. Fit mantle. lnstructions are on the mantle packet.3. Check control knob is turned off (clockwise).4. Fill lamp with clean paraff in (kerosene)only by removing pump and

using funnel fitted with filter, to a level iust below pumpopening. Capacity aboul ltl2 Pints (0.86 Litres).

5. lf filling is not required, ensure any pressure is released byloosening pump. Tighten again. This is important, otherwiselamp will not operate.correctly.

6. Provided with each lamp isa small iarcompletewith torch cup,fill jar with methylated spirits and soak torch cup.

7. Clip soaked torch cup onto vaporiser just below gas globe andlight. At this point a new mantle will burn off and produce ayellow flame from the hood.

8. Allow the torch to burn for between 90 and 120 seconds.Eefore it burns out, turn on the control knob (anti-clockwise)and pressurise slightly by giving ten strokes of pump. Themantle will light up with a low pop.

9. After 30 seconds pump f irmly for about 90 strokes after whichthe mantle should be fully illuminated. However, if the tank isnot full further strokes of the pump may be needed.NOTE: Periodic pumping is necessary to maintain a brightlrght. About 40 strokes each hour.

10. Remove torch cup and when cool replace in methylated spirits.11. Re-position insect shield to bottom of globe (export model only).12. To extihguish turn control knob off (clockwise).13. Release pressure by loosening pump and tighten again.

0perating HintsA. When Iighting, should yellow flame appear at the hood when

control knob is turned on it simply means that the vapouriserhas not been hot enough to vaporrse paraff in.lt is due to one oftwo things:(1) You have not heated vaporiser suff iciently

See paragraphs 7 and 8 above.(2) You have not released the pressure or too much pressure

has been applied too soon. Turn off and follow lightinginstructions from the beginning.

B lf , after lighting, a pronounced pulsatingandf lickeringof light isapparent, this can be due to lack of pressure. lt can be rectiftedby pumping until a bright constant light is obtainedt{ote: CARt MUST 8E TAKtt{ t{OT T0 0VER-PUMP

C Maintain pressure by periodic pumping.See NOTE paragraph 9. - Should the pressure be allowed todrop too low a light-back may occur (recognised by a roaringnorse) Correct by pumping ten times, then quickly turn thecontrol knob off and on a few times and then pump untilyouhave a bright lrght agarrr.

D. Loss of pressure is usually due to a leak at a washer joint e.gvaporiser to control cock, gland nut on control cock, controlcock to container. Tighten the connection by turning the nutclockwise.

REMEMBER. . .USE ONLY PARAFFIN AND DO NOT OVER PUMP..THIS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR LAMP
