CLEARING THE NOZZLE
You should clear the nozzle in the burner every time you use the stove. This is done by moving the
multitool magnets back and forth a few times beneath the burner’s base nut. The patented Optimus
cleaning needle will then be activated. If you operate the cleaning needle while the stove is burning,
the flame may go out. Keep a match or lighter at hand when operating the cleaning needle and relight
the stove if necessary.
CHECKING THE O-RINGS
It is important to ensure that the spindle’s O-rings are complete and undamaged in order to avoid
fuel leakage. Get into the habit of occasionally checking the two O-rings by unscrewing the control
valve and spindle. Replace the O-rings if you suspect that they are cracked or otherwise damaged.
The tip of the fuel hose has an o-ring which may benefit from lubrication so they function
satisfactorily in cold climates. Use Optimus lubricant or another oil which can withstand harsh cold.
If you are out in winter, you must pay particular attention to all rubber O-rings and seals. These
may become hard and brittle in severe cold, and possibly crack. To be on the safe side, replace the
old ones and take a few spares with you if you are going to be out for a long time, a long way from
civilization.
LUBRICATING THE PUMP LEATHER
You should lubricate the pump leather using Optimus lubricant so the pump will function perfectly.
It is particularly important to check this if the stove has not been used for a long time. The pump
leather is located at the far end of the pump rod. This is accessed by unscrewing the pump rod and
pulling out the pump rod entirely from the pipe. Lubricate the leather using a small amount of lubri-
cant (butter can be used in an emergency). Be careful when replacing the pump rod.
