Replacing the Inner Glass Tube
•
If the glass tube in the Compression Igniter should break, replace it
with one of the spare glass tubes.
•
Hold the igniter over a receptacle to catch any falling glass and
remove the piston.
•
Unscrew the removable base from the bottom, and unscrew the top
from the safety tube.
•
Carefully remove any broken glass from inside the safety tube and dis-
pose of the glass properly.
•
Check the condition of the O-rings and replace them if necessary.
•
Screw the removable base into the bottom of the igniter. Leave the top
off the igniter.
•
Carefully insert the replacement glass tube into the igniter so that the
bottom end of the glass tube fits over the post at the bottom of the
igniter.
•
Replace the top on the igniter. Line up the upper end of the glass tube
with the hole in the top and then turn the top clockwise to screw it onto
the igniter. Make sure that the glass tube is firmly seated over the
O-rings on the post of the removable base.
Replacing a Large O-ring
•
For the large O-ring in the top of the igniter, unscrew the top from the
safety tube.
•
Remove the old O-ring. (You may need to use a small, flat-blade
screwdriver to remove the ring.)
•
Place the replacement O-ring at the bottom of the hole. Make sure that
the O-ring is in the groove at the bottom of the hole.
•
Replace the top on the igniter. Be careful to line up the upper end of the inner glass tube with the hole in the
top.
