9.
Drain heating coil of any residual water left inside from prior use.
10.
Prepare heat source.
(Perform step
a
if heating with a fire, and
b
if using a stove)
(See heating recommendations section, pg. 12)
a.
Camp Fire
- Prepare and start a camp fire with dry wood in a contained
fire ring or pit.
Observe all applicable federal, state and local regulations when
constructing a fire.
b.
Stove
– Light stove.
c.
DO NOT PLACE COIL ON CAMP FIRE OR STOVE UNTIL INSTRUCTED.
11.
Interconnect the heating system
a.
Remove the black purge valve from the short rubber
tube at the base of the bag on the ground and insert
the thermostat port into the tube.
b.
Set desired temperature on the thermostat. Use
setting #4 (100F) if unsure. (see “Tips’ section for
recommended temperatures)
c.
Connect the blue supply tube to the short tube at
the base of the elevated bag. To prevent water from
spilling, pinch the short tube attached to the bag
while removing the purge valve and connect the
supply tube.
12.
Verify that air bubbles have purged
through the
tubing and water has started to flow into empty bag.
Failure to follow steps 2-4 can cause inadequate water flow during heating and produce
steam or overheated water.
DO NOT HEAT COIL AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WATER FLOWING
THROUGH SYSTEM.
Doing so can damage or melt the heating coil
and cause a risk of injury including burns.

13.
Place coil over heat using a stick.
a.
Camp Fire
(See heating recommendations section, pg. 12)
i.
The coil should be in a concave down position to help the coil
balance properly on top of the fire wood.
ii.
Do not use the heat deflector with a camp fire.
iii.
Shield the bag on the ground to prevent damage from potential “popping” embers.
b.
Stove
(Single Burner Backpacking Stove 10,000-15,000 BTUH Output)
(See heating recommendations section, pg. 12)
i.
The coil should be centered on the stove in a concave up position
with the heat defector in the center of the coil.
ii.
Assemble the Y-Stand and push it into the ground to support the
end of the tube jacket.
Important!
Do not heat exposed rubber tubing.
Note
It is normal for water drops to condense and drip from the coil when heating.
Important!
Do not directly use or test water flowing from the thermostat valve during the
heating process.
The thermostat’s normal temperature oscillations prevent
setting the temperature by “feel”. Always use a water collection bag to equalize
the water temperature and let the thermostat do its job.
Heating coil and system parts become hot during use.
Use care when
placing or removing heating coil from heat. Do not directly touch
heated parts. Allow heating coil and sheath to cool before handling.
