Replacing the Inner Glass Tube
If the glass tube in the Compression Igniter should break, replace it with the
included replacement glass tube*.
•
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 dispose
of the glass properly.
•
Check the condition of the O-rings and replace them if necessary. NOTE: If
the O-rings show no abrasion damage, they do not need replacing.
•
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 bot-
tom end of the glass tube fits over the post at the bottom of the igniter.
•
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.

The TD-8498A Replaceable Glass Tubes kit includes two more replacement tubes and
twelve O-rings
Replacing a Large O-ring
•
To replace 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 screw-
driver to remove the ring.)
•
Place the replacement O-ring in the groove at the bottom of the hole. Make
sure that the O-ring is flat against the bottom of the hole..
•
Replace the top on the igniter. Line up the top end of the glass tube with the hole
in the top and then turn the top clockwise to screw it onto the igniter.
