Main Burner and Auxiliary Burner
The main burner and auxiliary burner burn Coleman fuel (other fuels may damage the stove), providing the heat needed for cooking. Each burner is attached to a manifold assembly and consists of a cap and filters secured to a burner bowl by a screw.
Generator
The generator is one of the areas most likely to need servicing over the life of the stove. Generator repairs may be needed if the heat output of the burners diminishes or if the stove is difficult to light. This repair involves replacing the generator needle tube, coil and needle. The generator tube connects from the valve beneath the tank to the manifold assembly. The generator coil and needle are in the end of the generator tube, providing the link for fuel to flow from the valve into the tube. Unscrew the tube and needle using pliers.
Wing Baffle and Hood
The hood folds down on the stove, protecting the burners when not in use. The wind baffles are the metallic wings attached to the hood of the stove. The hook and wing baffles aid in shielding the cooking area from wind.
Fuel Tank
The fuel tank stores the fuel used in the camp stove. The tank should be cleaned every six months by rinsing it with clean fuel. The model 413H stove uses white gas, such as Coleman Fuel. Do not substitute with kerosene, alcohol or gasoline. On the side of the tank is a pump knob. The pump knob pressurizes the fuel in the tank before use. If the pump does not slide smoothly, simply add a drop of oil to the shaft.
