USE-CLEAR UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY
TO SEJ UP STOVE
Slide handle to left and open stove. Lift grate and remove tank. Lock case open by putting loop in grate through slot in wind-
screen and securing with tab.
TO FILL TANK
Unscrew pump nut and remove pump; Fill tank to the marker line with clear unleaded gasoline. Replace pump and tighten
pump nut firmly with fingers. Pump 50 strokes. Place tank clips in slots on front of stove, making sure that end of qenerotor
tube fits into hole in burner assembly.
TO LIGHT
Be sure right auxiliary burner valve (flat disc on right side of case) is closed by turning in a ~Iockwise direction. Open black
air valve (by turni.Dg counter-clockwise) one full turn. Light match -hold close to left perforated burner and open red gas knob
until burner lights. Do not open red gas knob unless match is lit and close to burner. Sometimes ~he match will blowout before
the flame starts. If this occurs, close red gas knob at once. Light match ogain. Hold flame cI se to left perforated burner,
re-open red gas knob. If you fail to light burner after several attempts liquid gas may get into the system and prevent the
burner from lighting. Turn stove upside down and drain off excess gasoline.
When flame turns blue, close black air knob. Adjust flame to desired height by opening or closing red gas knob.
If stove goes out accidentally or otherwise, and remains in that condition for a few minutes, check for accumulation or over-
flow of gas before re-Iighting. Drain excess gasoline as above. " ' ,
TO LIGHT SECOND BURNER
Slide auxiliary valve knob through slot in case. Place lighted match close to perforated burner ring, then open valve (by turn-
ing counter-clockwise).
TO EXTINGUISH
To shut off stove-close auxiliary valve knob then red gas knob. Stove will continue to burn one or two minutes until
the
accumulated gasoline vapor in the tubes is burned out. , ,
OPERATING HINTS
If air valve is left open longer than two minutes after lighting, pressure will go down and fire may go out.
If-flame has a tendency to go out when closing the air valve, open gas valve wider, then close air valve more slowly. Best
results are obtained by using a low flame for about two minutes until the generator is thoroughly heated.
If stove burns with a yellow flame, there is liquid gasoline in the burner assembly. With instant starting qosoline pressure
stoves some liquid gasoline will pass into the burner assembly, but if the flame does not soon clear up and turn blue, close
the gas valve and when fire is extinguished, remove tank, grates and dishes and turn stove upside down to drain out gasoline: ,
Then relight again as directed in "TO LIGHT".
f
If stove will not burn or goes out while burning, check to see if tank needs repumping or you may be out of gas. If this is not
the cause, your generator may be ciogged. To correct this condition, open and close gas valve (red knob) quickly several
times. If condition is still not corrected, remove generator ossembly by unscrewing from tank, counter-clockwise, (Iean-
strainer and air bleed hole (next to strainer tube).
If stove pops and blows out, this is probably due to burned out rings on the burners. Replace with new burner rings.
If generator leaks gas while stove is not burning, tighten gas knob.
After a stove has been in use the packing in the valve stem nut will shrink and cause a leak. Tighten nut with a wrench to stop
leak.
When removing pump, if there is still pressure in the tank, hold tank with pump end up, and unscrew pump nut slowly
1'0
allow
air to escape.
If pump becomes stiff and hard to operate, a few drops of oil placed on the pump stem will restore its ease of operation. A
little grease placed on the pump nut threads will make it easier to remove the pump, and prevent rusting of threads on tank.
The generator hood should be tightened occasionally to prevent leakage.
