3. Remove the four (4) wing nuts around the wick adjuster. Lift the wick adjuster off
the heater while moving it slightly back and forth.
4. Slide two fingers between the wick and the silver wick sleeve attached to the wick
adjuster. Lift the pins in the wick off the slots in the wick sleeve. After lifting all three
(3) pins off the slots, fold the wick and remove it. Replace the wick sleeve back into
the wick adjuster to protect the sleeve from damage.
NOTE: DO NOT damege the electrodes of Igniter unit on the
Wick Adjuster at the time of replacing the wick.
5. Place the wick adjuster on its side. Next, line up the three (3) openings in the wick
adjuster: 1) the holes in the sleeve, 2) the diagonal slots in the fixed part of the wick
adjuster, and 3) the slots in the moving part of the wick adjuster controlled by the
wick adjuster knob.
WARNING: NEVER replace the sleeve upside down.
6. Fold the new wick in quarters and insert it into the wick adjuster from wick adjuster
bottom. Place one of the pins in one of the lined-up openings. lf you experience
difficulty, gently turn the wick adjuster knob clockwise. Then insert the two other
pins, turning the wick adjuster knob if necessary. DO NOT bend the sleeve.
7. Finally, gently press the wick, all along its circumference, against the wick adjuster
to insure that it is firmly in place.
8. Lower the wick adjuster into the fuel tank, guiding the tail of the wick so it fits over
the primary air tube and evenly into place.
Point the wick adjuster knob to the front of the heater. Insure that the wick adjuster
is centered over the studs on the fuel tank.
NOTE: The space between the wick adjuster and the primary air tube should be
even all around.
NOTE: Make certain the top of the wick adjuster and the top of primary air tube
are the same height. lf they are uneven, the flames tend to be uneven, too.
