7.8 Routine service and mentenance
Always ensure that the seals and O-rings are
correctly seated and are in good condition.
Carry out this check each time before
assembling the appliance. Replace the seals
if damaged or worn. New seals are available
from your local dealer,
7.9 Multi-tool
The tool is used for removing and fitting the
Jet (10), locknut (31), hose connection (32),
bottom seam (33) and priming pad lock (34).
See Fig. 5.
7. Maintenance
7.01 When using liquid fuels, the jet should
be cleaned regularly for optimum, trouble-free
operation. If the appliance is used for long
periods or with poor quality fuel, the control
spindle (30) require cleaning.
7.1 Cleaning the jet
Close the shut-off valve (2) and gas control (5),
and unscrew the cartridge or fuel bottle.
7.2 The jet (10) can be cleaned in situ or when
unscrewed from the appliance.
7.3 Clean the jet using the cleaning needle (26)
supplied with the appliance.
7.4 Refit the jet and screw it home securely to
ensure a good seal. Fit a Primus cartridge for
added safety and check the joint with warm
soapy water. The appearance of bubbles
indicates that the joint is not sufficiently tight.
7.5 Cleaning of control spindle
Unscrew the locknut (31) using the multi-
tool. Unscrew the spindle. Carefully clean
the three grooves at the tip of the spindle, for
example using a fingernail. Take care not to
damage the spindle threads. Ensure that the
spindle O-ring is intact and check its tightness
following reassembly. For extra safety use a
Primus cartridge and check the tightness of
the joint with soapy water. The presence of
bubbles indicates that the joint a not tight.
7.6 Fuel pump
If the pump does not pressurise the fuel bottle,
stretch the leather pump gasket (28) slightly
and lubricate it with Primus leather oil (saliva
or a mineral-based oil). Unscrew and withdraw
the pump rod. Rub oil into the gasket until
it becomes soft end pliable. if the pump still
fails to pressurise the fuel bottle, replace the
gasket or proceed to 7.7.
7.7 If the pump fails to maintain the pressure
in the fuel bottle, clean and check the non-
return valve (29). Remove the valve and wipe
the rubber gasket with a cloth refit the valve.
