German here! Please make sure that the "Adjusting screw " ist full opened 180° so that the pointer is pointing down. Otherwise the carburetor needle welds itself tightly. The lamp is not intended to be dimmed.😉 What the german name already says :"Starklichtlampe" (strong light lamp) Greetings from germany 🇩🇪 And sorry for my bad wording.

What an elegant lantern. Firing it up is a lot like starting a "Make and Break", that old school firecracker technology that will just keep on working if you know how to make it work.

Yet another German here: The red line on the pressure indicator indicates the MINIMUM pressure needed. Pumping softer & gentler (unlike in this video) will reduce mechanical stress on the fragile mantle (true for all mantle-based pressure lanterns). The rapid starter (blowtorch) isn't gentle to the mantle and should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. It was an army requirement to have for a quick start in cold environments.

I recently bought a Petromax,a real german from 1965. Came with a army metal case and spares parts. I used somes seals from the kit because the ones in the lantern were old,probably never changed until now. Thoses petromax are bright as hell,only downside in my opinion is the pump system,take manys pump to pressurize the tank. The coleman pump/check valve are better. To burn a new mantle with the rapid heater,just turn the heater on 4-5 secs and shut it off,the mantle will burn itself slowly,will take 2-3 mins to burn then lantern is ready to be light as usual. The real german petromax have "Made in germany" on the fount. The chinese one have Petromax germany marked on them but they are in fact made in china.

Had several of those back in my youth. Electricity was not reliable in rural areas. But with the electricification projects nearing completion, once remote areas have electric lamps and kerosene lanterns have taken a back seat nowadays.

The "Blowtorch" lighter was for military use in freezing weather. Its really hard on the mantle. Use a little alcohol in the pan for the preheat. Its a little more work, have to fill it 2 or three times, but your mantle will thank you. Everclear or 100 proof vodka works fine.

Something is wrong with your pump and you need to burn off the mantle before putting pressure on it. I’ve used two civilian and one military lantern for years. They really generate good and provide a good bright light.

@TonyM540
@TonyM540 Жыл бұрын
You don’t have to “ keep pumping “ continuously. But you do need to keep an eye on it. Generally if it’s pressurised sufficiently it will probably run for about 45/60 min before needing a few more pumps. If you keep an eye on the mantle when it’s lit then you will see it turning from a white bright light to a more yellow less bright light when the pressure is dropping, it’s then time to give it a few pumps. You should not leave one of these lanterns un-attended or let children play with them.

The first time I fired up my new Petromax I had problems! They are fiddley and if you don't like messing with old Morris Minors and Swiss watches at the same time then the Petromax is not for you! I suggest the non DIY people buy a gas or Electric Lantern. There are advantages to owning a petromax but you will need patients it is not as simple as filling it with paraffin and away she goes!

Yes it has to be set up correctly, but a beautiful lantern. I have one but use a Coleman kerosene 639 regularly as it is less fiddley and does what it says on the can. Low maintenance and good light and heat output. Takes the chill off a 12’x12’ room on a chill autumn evening.
