appliance when not in use. Store them in a safe dry
place away from heat.
3.3 Do not misuse the appliance, or use it for anything
for which it has not been designed.
3.4 Handle the appliance with care. Do not drop it.
4. ASSEMBLING THE APPLIANCE (fig.2)
4.1 Ensure that the control knob (2) is turned off (turned
fully clockwise).
4.2 Keep the cartridge (3) upright when fitting it to the
valve.
4.3 Place the valve squarely on top of the cartridge (as
shown in fig .2).
4.4 Gently screw the cartridge into the valve until it
meets the O-ring of the valve. Be careful not to fit
the cartridge cross threaded.
Screw handtight
only. Do not overtighten to avoid
damaging the cartridge valve.
4.5 Ensure that a complete gas seal has been made. If
you have to check the gas seals of the appliance,
do so outdoors. Do not check for leaks with an
open flame. Use soapy water or the like, applied
to the joints and connections of the appliance.

4.6
Pre-burning the mantle before use: Remove the
lantern top and glass. Make sure that the mantle (6) is
located on the grooves (7) of the burner tube (4), i.e.
the large end on the lower roove of the tube and the
small end on the upper groove. Make sure that the
mantle is uniformly threaded all round the burner tube.
Light the mantle with a match or lighter and turn the
control knob (2) and keep the burner alight for about a
minute until the mantle has formed a white “egg”.
4.7
When the mantle has been fully burnt off, replace the
lantern glass and top.
4.8 The lantern is now ready for use.
NOTE: When the mantle has been burned off, it is
very brittle and care should be taken not to damage
it. A damaged mantle will cause bad combustion
and also lower the light output from the lantern.
Spare mantles are available from your local dealer.
5. OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
5.1 Always operate the appliance on a firm, level
surface.
5.2 Turn the knob counter-clockwise (2) and light the
burner (5) immediately by pushing the trigger (8)
downwards. If the burner does not ignite, push the
trigger several times until it ignites.
5.3 Adjust the size of the flame by turning the control
knob (2).
5.4 After lighting, operate the appliance upright and
do not move it around. Flaring may occur if the
appliance has not fully warmed, or if it is moved
carelessly.
5.5 After use, ensure that the valve is fully shut (control
knob turned fully clockwise).
5.6 Suspension cable for transport. When suspending
the lantern from the ceiling or the like,
make sure
that the distance to combustible material
is at least 500 mm. OTHERWISE a fire may
break out.
6. CHANGING THE CARTRIDGE
6.1 Shut the valve fully. Be sure the flame is
extinguished and no other flame is nearby. Take
the unit outdoors, and away from other people.
Unscrew the cartridge from the valve and replace
the old cartridge with a new Primus cartridge.
Always check the O-ring in the appliance. If it
is cracked or worn, replace it. Apply the valve
thread squarely to the cartridge and screw it hand
tight only as decribed in section 4. Avoid cross
threading.
7. MAINTENANCE
7.1 If gas pressure drops or the LP- gas will not light,
check if there is gas left in the cartridge (3). If so,
the jet nipple (9) might be blocked.
7.2 Cleaning the jet nipple. Fully turn off the control
knob (2) and unscrew the cartridge (3).
7.3 Unscrew the two small screws (10) at the side of
the lantern and lift the lantern part (11) smoothly
from the valve body.
7.4 Unscrew the jet nipple (9) from the valve using a 6
mm spanner.
7.5 Clean out the jet nipple by blowing through the
tiny hole at the front. Do not use an incorrect size
needle or any type of pin etc. to clean the blockage
or you may damage the hole and make the
appliance unsafe.
7.6 Re-fit the jet nipple and screw it tightly to ensure
a gas seal. Re-fit the cartridge by following the
description in section 4. For extra safety, check the
joint with warm soapy water. If bubbles appear, the
joint is not tight enough.
7.7 Push the lantern part (11) to the valve body and
secure with the two small screws (10).
