SERVICE UPON RECEIPT OF EQUIPMENT 3. How to Assemble Range (fig- 1) a. Choose a level spot of ground protected from the wind, where loose earth is available. b. Place the rear section of the firebox on the ground with the stack end downwind. Attach the front section of the firebox to this by inserting its flanges into the grooves of the rear section. Attach the burner compartment to the front section in a similar manner. c. Erect the first five sections of telescoping smokestack. If a greater draft is desired, add the two other sections of stack. d. Pack earth 3 inches high around all sides of range. e. Insert the burners (with flame shields) into the holes in the burner compartment and attach the manifold. Be certain that the valves are shut off. f. Screw the adapter into the fuel can, and clamp the hose to the adapter and to the fitting between the drip valves. Hold the center clamp on the adapter to prevent its turning, and then lock the clamp down. Be certain to dry off the adapter, gasket, and the gasket seat before you insert and tighten the adapter. This will prevent the gasket from squeezing out of place. Note: The fittings provided at each end of the hose may be permanently attached to the burner manifold and to the adapter, eliminating the necessity of threading and unthreading these fittings. g. Place the fuel can on its side at least 18 inches above the burner level, and make certain that it is secure. If no other support is available, turn the hanger on edge and rest the can on this; be sure that both the hanger and the can are secure before lighting the range. In the event that the fuel can is not available or that the adapter breaks, fuel can be siphoned from any available container. 4 5 Section IV. OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS 4. Operation Heat for the range is normally furnished by two downdraft, gravityfeed burners. (See fig. 3.) Principal parts of the burner are the burner top plate and the vaporizer, a cylindrical part with fingerlike projections The range will burn approximately 2/3 gallon of fuel per hour. It can be operated with kerosene, fuel oil, or wood. a. Fill the two boilers with water or food and place them in position on the range. b. Open one drip valve and start the fuel dripping slowly. When fuel appeals around the edge of the burner, light with a match. Caution.: Keep face and hands from directly over the burner when lighting it. Be particularly careful when relighting a hot burner. If fuel has leaked on the ground, it is best to remove the first boiler before lighting the burners in order to avoid a possible back flash. c. If gasoline is being used, open the second drip valve and the other MANIFOLD FUEL FEED HOSE ATTACHMENT WING NUTS ’ jT BURNER TOP PLATE VAPORIZERS Figure 3. Burners, downdraft, gravity-feed. 6 burner will light automatically. If kerosene or fuel oil is being used, it is best to ignite an oil-soaked rag or piece of paper below each burner, before turning on the fuel. d. Keep the fuel valves open to a drip flow for about 4 minutes, to give the burners time to heat. When gasoline is used, proper adjustment of the valves should eliminate smoke completely after this initial heating period. e. When operating properly, the burners have a slight roaring sound and should be able to take almost solid streams of gasoline without smoking. Important: If the burners will not operate in this manner, check for air leaks around the bottom of the range or under the pots. Close all such leaks. * f. The fuel rate to both burners should be about equal. If less heat is desired, turn down both burners. g. Adjust the drip valves occasionally to obtain desired heat. h. Before shifting the boilers from front to back, and before removing a boiler from the range, throttle the drip valves to a very slow drip in order to avoid a flare-up. i. Five gallons of water should boil in 20 to 30 minutes at the burner end, and in about twice that time at the stack end. Shift pots from front to rear and vice versa to obtain uniformity of heating. Baking and roasting are best accomplished at the stack end. Keep the boilers covered as much as possible. /. Always shield the range from the wind. 5. Using a Wood Fire (fig- 4) a. Assemble the range without the burner section. b. Dig a trench 3 or 4 inches deep and 15 inches wide under the front section of the firebox. c. Build a fire in the trench, keeping it toward the front. d. The burner section may be used as a windshield or as g. draft control. 7 Figure 4. Outfit, cooking, pack, using wood fire. USED AS WIND SHIELD PART THREE MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Section V. MAINTENANCE 6. Maintenance a. At least once a week take the burner apart by removing the three wing nuts and bolts. Scrape the parts thoroughly with a screw driver or a wire brush, removing any hard substances between the burner top and bottom. If tools are not available, rotate the burner surfaces on dry earth. b. Keep the burner box and the stack clean. c. Clean pot bottoms carefully before nesting the pots. Important: Take particular pains when leaded gasoline is used, since some lead (poison) may be present in the soot. d. Avoid contamination of food with any particles of soot from any part of the burner outfit, especially when leaded gasoline is used. e. If used inside a shelter be sure to lead, stack fumes to outside to avoid hazard of monoxide or lead poisoning. 8 APPENDIX HOW TO PACK OUTFIT FOR TRANSPORTATION Each unit is packed in the following manner (fig. 5) : 1. 64-H-210 Hanger. 7. 65-H-1002 Adapter. 2. 65-H-1188 Box, fire, rear. 8 65-H-1238 Burner. 3. 65-H-1187 Box, fire, front. 9. 33-H-470 Hose. 4. 65-H-1399 Compartment, burner. 10. 64-P-387 Pan, top. 5. 65-H-2320-30 Pipe, stove. 11. 64-B-910 and 64-B-915 Boilers. 6. 65-H-2O3O Manifold. 12. 64-P-386 Pan, bottom. /-\ _ - (2) ■ > < r H fe i JI'I ^H i^fS^-TT 1 ;==:5’’’*^BL J " S^W aLYb) jj^gg^SE=^=X ~ ® Qj (7) Figure 5.
