OP ERATING INSTRUCTIONS

USE ONLY LIGHTING KEROSENE - DO NOT USE PETROL OR POWER KEROSENE

TO FILL CONTAINER

Remove Filler Cap (7) and fill Container with approx. one half litre

(one pint) of Lighting Kerosene. Replace filler cap. Remove any spilt kerosene before proceeding.

TO INSTALL MANTLE

Remove Cowl Nut (43) Cap (54) and Glass (56). Carefully tie mantle

on to groove of Burner (48) and cut off surplus string. Move a lighted match under mantle and let the mantle burn off completely. until it has turned ash-like. The mantle is designed to give a fairly significant light output (approx. 300 C.P.) and is therefore rather large in size. (The mantle will shrink later when the lantern is pressurised). Re­assemble in reverse order to above, and attach handle. ensuring

handle goes through the cap holes and into the Burner Casting (45).

: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS I

TO LIGHT Prior to lighting, ensure that the Air Valve (6) is open and the Pointed Knob (41) is in the down position. To start the pressure lantern, kerosene must be evaporated by pre-heating the Generator Tube (26). This is done by burning a Full Heating Cup (30) of Methylated Spirits around the Generator tube. To fill this cup, place the hooked spout of the Spirit Bottle (58) through the large hole in the base of the frame (45) and fill the cup do not overflow. Light a match and pass it through the same opening, igniting the methylated spirits. When the methylated spirits has been half consumed, close the Air Valve (6) and when methylated spirits is very low in the cup and almost consumed, start pumping (11) slowly. Pumping speed may be increased once lighting is established. Between 50-100 pump strokes are required to give full operating pressure. NOTE: If the pre-heating has not been sufficient when pumping is commenced, liquid instead of vapourised kerosene will pass to the mantle and a yellow smokey flame will result. This is not dangerous, you merely release the pressure by opening the Air Valve (6) and the flame will be extinguished. Quickly repeat the procedure "TO LIGHT," close the valve and pump up the pressure. To avoid blockage, it is important that the pressure in the lantern is kept up at all times, hence re-pump whenever the brilliance noticeably fades. TO EXTINGUISH Turn Air Valve (6) about one turn in an anti-clockwise direction. DO NOT Use needle (28) to shut off pressure. The Pointed Knob (41) is only for pricking the Jet (25) and not for extinguishing the lantern.

GENERAL NOTES ON MAINTENANCE

As is common with most lighting appliances the Austramax Pressure Lantern requires periodical replacement of cerlain part?, particularly lhe Generator Tube Filling (29) and the Burner (48).

These are parts which with a little care, you can replace yourself.

TO REPLACE GENERATOR TUBE FILLING (29) AND NEEDLE (28) Remove Handle (58) Cap Nut (43) and Cap (54) remove Glass (56) remove Frame Screw (51) and lift frame. Unscrew Jet (25) remove Generator Nut (31) while holding brass block below with a suitable spanner. Slide off Generator Tube (26) and Filling (29) by careful up­

ward movement to avoid damage to needle, which is still attached. If replacing Needle (28) unscrew and replace. tightening gently with pliers. Place filling carefully over needle and slide down. without damaging tip of needle. followed by Generator Tube (26). Jet (25) must be fitted after the generator tube, with needle in the up position to avoid damage to needle tip. Ensure needle is visible above jet when Red Knob ( 41) is in the UP position.

TO REPLACE BURNER

Remove Handle (57) Cap Nut (43) Cap (54) Remove Glass (56) and all parts of used mantle, screw out Burner (48) and replace. To assemble. use reverse sequence to above.

TO REPLACE MANTLE

T h e r ep l a c e m e n t p r o c e d ure is as p ar a g r a p h 2 .

CONSUMPTION

With full tank (one half litre) of Lighting Kerosene the lantern will burn for 6-8 hours at normal pressure.
