6. Assembling and operating
the appliance with liquid fuel
(figs. 3 and 4)
6.01 The appliance is delivered with three jets.
Jet 45 is for cartridge gas, jet 37 for white gas
and unleaded petrol, and Jet 28 for kerosene,
diesel oil and similar fuels. Ensure that the
correct jet is installed.
6.02 Fill a Primus fuel bottle to the filling mark
with liquid fuel.
NOTE!
Never overfill the bottle!
6.1 Ensure that the shut-off valve (2) and gas
control (5) are fully closed (by turning the knob
fully clockwise).
6.2 Screw the pump (21) into fuel bottle (20).
6.3 Screw the fuel pump swivel coupling
(22) carefully into the valve until it meets the
control valve O-ring (as shown in Fig. 3). Be
careful not to cross-thread the connection.
Hand-tighten only - overtightenIng will
damage the connection.
6.4 Swing the legs (pan supports) (12) into
position in the wind shield (11).
6.5 Pump about 20 full strokes, or more if the
fuel level is below the tilling mark on the fuel
bottle.
6.6 Place the fuel bottle on a firm, level
surface with the text ‘ON’ the fuel pump facing
upward.
6.8.1 Always place the appliance on a steady
surface. Ensure at all times that the hose
between the cartridge and stove is straight,
and cannot come in contact with the flame
or hot gases.
Ensure that the hose is not
twisted or subject to abrasion. Keep
the fuel bottle away from the heat of the
appliance.
6.8.2 First open the shut-off valve (2) then
open the gas control (5) by turning it a half turn
counterclockwise. Allow fuel to spray from
the jet for about 2 seconds before closing the
control. If using kerosene or diesel, or if the
weather is odd and windy, more fuel will be
required for preheating. In this case, allow fuel
to escape for 4-6 seconds.
6.8.3 Check for leaks at the shut-off valve, gas
control, fuel pump, jet, fuel hose and fuel line.
DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE IF LEAKS
ARE PRESENT
.
6.8.4 Light the priming pad.
DO NOT LEAN
OVER THE APPLIANCE WITH YOUR HEAD
OR BODY.
The priming pad will now bum for
about 40 seconds if white gas is used, and
for longer if kerosene or diesel is used or if
the ambient temperature is low. Open the gas
control slowly by turning counterclockwise)
when the fuel in the printing pad begins to
run out, but before the lame has expired
completely. If the appliance burns with a
yellow or an unstable flame, priming has
been insufficient. Try closing the gas control
somewhat until a steady, blue flame is
established end allow the device to burn at
low power for a while to heat up. If the stove
still cannot be operated at full power, the only
course is to turn it off, allow it to cool fully
and repeat the priming procedure for a longer
period using more priming fuel. Remember
also that the stove must be shielded from the
wind during this procedure.
6.8.5 After lighting, keep the appliance upright
and do not move it around. A high lame may
occur if the appliance has not been preheated
fully or if It is moved without care.
6.8.6 A minimum clearance must be
maintained with flammable materials. The
minimum permissible clearance between
the appliance and ceiling, and between the
appliance and the nearest wall, is 1250 mm
(48 inches).
These minimum clearances
must be observed to prevent a fire hazard.
6.8.7 To turn the appliance off and empty the
fuel system, turn the fuel bate over so that
the ‘OFF’ on tile fuel pump is facing upward.
When the flame has been extinguished
arid air is flowing through the jet, close the
shut-off valve (2) by turning the knob fully
counterclockwise. Note! This procedure
will take about 1 minute. Also close the gas
control (5) when the appliance has been
turned off. Allow the appliance to cool before
disassembling it.
6.8.8
NEVER
relight shot appliance. Hot parts
may vaporise the liquid fuel and cause a
dangerous “fireball”.
