Illustration 5.

Do you smell gas?

If yes, there is a leak.

Is the connection area extremely cold?

If so, there is a leak

DO NOT USE LANTERN IF IT IS LEAKING.

When you are sure there are no leaks, you may

proceed to setup/lighting your lantern.

ATTACHING AND PRIMING MANTLES
Attaching the Mantle(s)

Step 1 ..Using the drawstring, tie the top of the new

mantle securely around the lip of each burner
tube. The flat side of the mantle should hang
next to the vertical section of the burner tube.
Illustration 6.

Step 2 ..Trim off any excess string. Illustration 7.
Step 3 ..Be careful not to damage the mantle during

installation. DO NOT operate lantern with a
hole in the mantle.

Priming the Mantle(s)

Step 1 ..Hold a flame source to the bottom of each

attached mantle. Allow each mantle to ignite
and burn evenly until only a white ash
remains. It will burn out by itself. Illustration
8.

Step 2 ..This process will reduce the mantle in size

and it will cause it to turn a gray/white
color.

Step 3 ..This process will take 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 4 ..The mantle(s) will now be very fragile. After

Priming DO NOT touch the mantle.

Step 5 ..Always have extra mantles available for

replacement. NEVER operate with defective
mantles. A mantle with a hole or other
defect can cause the lantern to overheat.

INSTALL THE GLASS GLOBE & HANDLE

Step 1 ..Place glass globe over the mantle(s) and

burner tube.

Step 2 ..Attach the hood securely with the round nut,

being careful to align the hole in each side
of the hood with the corresponding hole on
the burner tube frame. Illustration 9.

Step 3 ..Install the bail handle – passing the ends

through the hood and burner tube frame.

LIGHTING THE LANTERN

Step 1 ..When lantern is completely assembled and

free of any gas leaks, position lantern on a
flat stable surface.

Step 2 ..Keeping your head and body well back,

insert flame source through lighting hole
near to the mantle. Open fuel valve turning
counter clockwise. The mantles will
light. Illustration 10.

Step 3 ..Adjust the brightness as desired with the fuel

valve.

Note: Please wait a few minutes before moving the lit
lantern. Move lantern using the bail handle.
