Good pressure in essential. A few drops of oil should be placed on pump

leather washer occasionally to keep it pliable.

Instructions for Maintenance of "HANDI"  Keropet Lantern

               (Model 3 )  Burns Petrol  .

1. Make sure that the lantern is getting the pressure by pumping the full amount

of pressure - 40 strokes, and the loosening filler plug. You can check

air pressure by the noise of escapingair. If pump is not forcing the air into

the tank it may be that the leather plunger washer had shrunk and needs

oiling. It is very important  that you keep the leather  washer well oiled.

To oil washer, use a light oil similar to machine oil, and pour on

and spread the washer so that it soaks the oil. Then place plunger

and washer back in pump barrel.

2. IF LANTERN BURNS THE MANTLE BLACK :-

     (a) The mantle holder is clogged eith carbon.

     (b) The lantern is not getting the right fuel and air mixture, which might be

           caused by a blockage in one or both of the air induction tubes.

     (c) Lighting lantern in half hot condition.

     (d) Generator nipple not tightened sufficiently.

3. IF LANTERN WILL NOT LIGHT AT ALL :-

     (a) No pressure. Look to memos Nos. 1 and 2.

     (b) Nut on generator not screwed down hard enough, thereby allowing

           the pressure to escape.

     (c) Generator nipple not tightened sufficiently.

     (d) Generator chocjed by carbonising. This necessitates the changing

           of the filter in the generator tube. As the filter or packing in all

           generators carbonises after a period of use, it is advisiable to have

           a spare generator on hand to fit when this takes place. The old

           generator can then be serviced.
