Take the manual fuel pump and insert the smooth, most rigid tube into the jerrycan. Make sure that it is in a higher position than the removable tank (Fig. H). Insert the ribbed hose into the opening of the removable tank. Lock the valve on top of the pump (turn clockwise).
After having ignited the heater, always check whether the combustion chamber is level, by sliding it slightly to the left and the right by its handle (Fig. E). This should be a smooth movement. If the combustion chamber is not level, this will cause smoke and soot to develop.
If the flame height is still too low and the wick is set on position 3, then contact your dealer, or replace the wick, refer to section M. If the flame gets too high after adjus- ting (Fig Q), the wick height lock should be placed one position lower again. Otherwise smoke or soot may be caused.
