BriteLyt Rapid 829/500CP 13
Tips and Troubleshooting
•
If you notice the lantern flickering or darkening, use your hand
pump or EZ-Pump accessory to increase the tank pressure to
approximately 2.5 atmosphere bars.
• If the hand pump plunger does not work properly grease the
O-Ring and re-install.
• If the pre-heater is not igniting or burning improperly, ensure you
have proper pressure in the fuel tank. You should be just below
the red line. If pressure is correct clean the nozzle of the pre heat-
er with the cleaning needle which came with your lantern.
• Do not remove the heat shield (Part #126s) when burning lantern.
• To keep bugs away add citronella oil in a 50/50 ratio with your
fuel and burn normally.
• If using biodiesel when preheating with the Alcohol cup it may
take 6-10 burns before the mantle will light.
• Remove broken mantles as they will break the glass in your
lantern.
•
Routinely flush and clean your fuel tank with water or gasoline.
• If you are in an extremely cold area or above 5,000 feet in eleva-
tion you may need to add 10% mineral spirits to your fuel tank to
have lantern light faster.
• If the hand pump plunger does not work properly grease the
O-Ring (lightly) and re-install.
• If using biodiesel, when preheating with Alcohol cup, it may take
6-10 burns before the mantle will light (you also need to use the
preheater after the Alcohol cup use). Preheat using the cup first,
and then, use the preheater, after the alcohol as burned off. This
will help to preheat faster.
