PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS:
Proper pressure is dependent on the fuel type the
unit will be running. When smoking or non-ignition
occurs, remove the lower panel. Locate the Phillips
screw with a nut on the fuel pump to the left of the
fuel line. There is a small "P" next to the pressure
screw. The ideal pressure is 112 psi (7.9 kg/cm
If you are experiencing smoking or fuel dripping
from the unit, turn the screw clockwise 1/8 to 1/4
of a turn to increase the fuel pressure until the
unit is operating properly.
If you are experiencing extended flames from the
front of the unit, turn the screw 1/8 to 1/4 of a
turn counterclockwise to reduce the air pressure
until the unit is operating properly.
