Customer Service - Petromax HK150 Manuel De L'utilisateur

USING THE LAMP
Prior to starting the lamp
• Damaged mantles must be replaced immedi-
ately.
• Make sure that needle, spray nozzle, mixing
chamber, and burner are properly tightened
and connected.
Starting the lamp
• See "Starting: Step by Step".
After starting the lamp
• When the pressure falls below 1 bar, careful-
ly bring pressure to the tank using the hand
pump (approx. 2.5 bar).
Extinguishing the lamp
• To extinguish the lamp, release the pressure
via the bleeder screw.
• In the case of unpredicted flames develop-
ment, open the bleeder screw immediately.
• Finish by turning the handwheel upward.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The pump does not work properly.
Pull out the pump plunger, grease the leather
seal and gently widen the leather seal (replace
it if necessary!). Push the pump plunger back
into the cylinder of the pump by turning the
pump plunger.
The upper part of the lamp catches fire.
Preheat the lamp for at least 90 seconds using
the rapid preheater. When pre-heating with the
use of spirit (preheat cup), use at least two full
cups of spirit.
The incandescent mantle does not burn properly.
When using the rapid preheater, position the
incandescent mantle in a way that it can easily
catch fire via the rapid preheater.
The rapid preheater does not ignite/burn properly.
Ensure that there is neither to much nor too litt-
le pressure in the tank. The manometer needle
should be just below the red line! If necessary,
clean the nozzle of the rapid preheater with the
cleaning needle included in the replacement
parts set.
The lamp flickers or gets darker.
Make sure that there is enough pressure and
fuel in the tank. If necessary, rapidly turn the
handwheel 360 degrees to free the spray nozzle
of any particles via the needle.
PREHEATING THE LAMP WITH SPIRIT
All current Petromax models come with a pre-
heat cup in addition to a rapid preheater. Pre-
heating with spirit is more gentle on the mantle.
Preheating the lamp through the preheat cup
• Sprinkle the new mantle with spirit.
• Fill the preheat cup with spirit using the spirit
can.
• Burn the spirit in the preheat cup and wait un-
til the cup has burned to the point of being
empty.
• Again, put spirit in the preheat cup and ignite
it.
• Wait until the spirit has almost completely bur-
ned out, and then turn the handwheel (with
the nose pointing down).
