Installation Tips
Remove the shipping screw from the pump box before proceeding with installation.
The igniter assembly must be installed before placing the stove.
If using a blower, install it first.
It is not necessary to install the blower first on the Endeavor, if applicable.
Wood placement is the key. Experiment with different sizes of wood and wood placement until you find a method that
works best for your wood quality and kindling.
The compressor assembly must be placed as shown in the instructions. Placing it on its side, near hot components, or
in a location where temperatures go below 40° F will void the warranty and may lead to premature failure.

All Stove Models – Igniter Hose Clamp
A hose clamp is attached to each igniter hose. You will need to set the clamp while attaching the hose to
the igniter. See the photos below.
Using a Room Blower Outlet with the GreenStart 2 Igniter
An extra outlet (sku 94400953) for the room blower is included with the GreenStart Igniter 2 for
Freestanding Stoves. To access this outlet remove the top of the pump box using a 5/16” nutdriver.
There are two ways to route the cord into the pump box:
a. Route the cord and
cord restraint through
the right side of the
pump box using the
“U” shaped cutout
above the igniter hose.
b. Route the cord through
the bottom of the
pump box and secure
in place with the
included cord restraint
as shown below.
Replace the pump box top after plugging in the cord.

Igniter Operation
Warnings
MAKE SURE THE AIR CONTROL AND BYPASS (IF APPLICABLE) ARE OPEN. FAILURE TO
OPEN THESE CONTROLS MAY LEAD TO SMOKE ENTERING THE HOME.
DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR DURING IGNITION. THIS MAY LEAD TO SMOKE ENTERING
THE HOME.
DO NOT PLACE YOUR HAND NEAR THE IGNITER OPENING. THIS AREA BECOMES
EXTREMELY HOT AND MAY CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
Operating Tips
The compressor assembly will turn on for 30 seconds when it is first plugged in. This is normal.
The igniter must be operated only with someone present. Improper operation may lead to smoke
entering the home.
Hardwood or un-seasoned wood may take longer to ignite. For this kind of wood you may need
to cut the kindling into smaller pieces.
Wood placement is the key. Experiment with different sizes of wood and wood placement until
you find a method that works best for your wood quality and kindling.
Make sure to place wood within 1” of the igniter opening.

Igniter Instructions
1. Gather a handful of kindling, approximately 1-1/2” in diameter. Place two sticks under the igniter in the
path of the air stream, as shown below. Stack the remaing kindling near the air opening, leaving a
minimum 1” gap to the igniter opening and plenty of space for air to pass through. The more surface
area the air flow contacts, the qui cker the fire will sta rt.
2. Make sure the air control and bypass are in the open po sition.
3. Close the stove door when all kindling is in place.
Page 26 of 27 17601674 — 12/11/13 © Travis Industries, Inc.

GreenStart Igniter for Freestanding Stoves
4. Press the igniter button to start the ignition process. The gre en indi cator lig ht on the button will t urn on.
The igniter and compressor assembly will run for 15 minutes before shutting off automatically.
If you change your mind after starting the igniter, you may push the button again to end operation. The
button light will flash and the pump will continue to run for about one minute, allowing the igniter to cool.
Installation Instructions (SKU 94400951)
ADDED FEATURE – “BELLOWS ONLY”:
If a bellows effect is desired (adding oxygen to the fire without cycling the igniter) simply push the
GreenStart button twice, which will start the pump-only mode. The bellows effect will stay on for 7
minutes, before the unit shuts down.
