reassemble the heater. Then install batteries.(fig.21)

up". 

(30) Reinstall top plate.

Install the batteries in the battery case. Fill with clean, pure 1-K kerosene. Wait at least 60 minutes 

for kerosene to fully saturate the new wick.  IMPORTANT !  If this is not done air bubbles may form 

in the wick reducing its ability to draw up kerosene. 

Remember to "dry burn" the new wick after each 5 or 6  tankfulls of kerosene are consumed. 

NOTE: Wick height is measured from top rim of the wick adjuster. The wick 

height should be 25/64 in. (10 mm).
