POST INSTALLATION (for standard burial steel or aluminum post)
1. Obtain from your dealer 3” OD post with notches for valve access at top.
2. Install inside post (1/4” OD) gas feed line tubing with ¼” flare nuts at each end. Tubing should be coiled 2 ½ times at top.
3. Tubing should protrude about 5” through the access hole at the bottom of post.
4. If supplied, insert ladder rest through hole and attach ornamental ball to each end.
5. Dig a hole 21” deep X 12” wide.
6. If a pedestal base is being used proceed to step 7, if no base is being used attach the ¼” flare nut from the gas feed line at the
bottom of the post to the main gas supply and secure post in plumb position, pour concrete around the post to just below the level
of the line access hole. Back fill the hole.
7. If using a pedestal base, pour the concrete in the hole, place the pedestal base over the hole and slide the post down through the
center of the base into the concrete leaving the access hole just above the concrete line. Attach the ¼” flare nut from the gas feed
line at the bottom of the post to the main gas supply and secure the post in plumb position. Back fill the hole and push the base
about 1”-2” down in the ground and secure in place using the back fill. If the base is not secured in the ground, the freeze and
thaw of the ground can cause the base to rise and fall causing the finish of the post to scratch.
LAMP INSTALLATION
1. Attach the flare nut from the ¼”OD gas feed line tubing to the gas valve on the lamp. Tighten Well.
2. Lower lamp onto post or stud, aligning valve with the slot in the post or stud. Check! Make sure you have access to your valve.
3. Tighten set screw(s) in collar of lamp so lamp is well secured to post.
4. Install glass by following the attached glass installation instructions. (Install all but one piece)
5. Leaving lamp valve in OFF position, turn on main gas supply and check all connections for leaks using a soapy solution.
NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS! Tighten any leaky connections and recheck for leaks.

FOR YOUR SAFETY
Do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other gas appliance.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS:
No combustible material, gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids should be stored near lamp. Nothing should obstruct the flow of

OPEN FLAME BURNER Maple Leaf Straight Flame
LIGHTING
1. Using a screwdriver, turn the valve to the ON position.
2. Slowly place flame toward the open flame burner tip until it ignites.
3. Install / replace the glass
4. Adjust flame using the on/off valve (see instructions below)
Valve ¾ Open Valve ½ Open
ADJUSTING FLAME
You may adjust the flame on your open flame burner by placing a screwdriver through the valve access hole in the collar of your
lamp. Turn the valve SLOWLY to adjust the height and form of your flame. Turning the valve too fast or too far can cause the
flame to extinguish. If your flame extinguishes, turn your valve to the OFF position and follow the lighting instructions. Having the
valve opened ¾ will give you a maple leaf shape flame and having the valve opened ½ will give you a straight flame.
It is not recommended to have the valve opened more than ¾ as this will cause dancing of the flame and thus cause the flame
to extinguish more often.
TROUBLESHOOTING (FOR MAPLE LEAF SHAPE FLAME)
If you are not using a wind guard and your flame does not have the maple leaf look, Turn valve off:
(1) Make sure the tip of the open flame burner is tight by turning it clockwise.
(2) Slide a thin piece of paper or dental floss through the slit at the tip of the burner.
Re-Light by Following the above lighting instructions .
UPRIGHT MANTLE BURNER
1. With valve in the off position, place the brass chimney holder on the burner.
2. Place the mantle on the burner. (the mantle will rest on the top part of the burner
3. Follow lighting instructions on the mantle package.
4. Place the glass chimney on the burner by sliding the long slender end of the chimney
over the mantle and rest it inside the chimney holder. (Careful not to touch the burning mantle)
5. Adjust the flame with the on / off valve to its brightest, but containing the flame within the mantle.
6. Install / replace the glass.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
Always make sure your gas supply is OFF and your lamp has cooled before attempting any repairs
INVERTED MANTLE BURNER
1. For Soft Mantles: install mantle over ceramic nozzle turning so the mantle slides into
the slots of the nozzle, then gently pull down mantle for proper shaping.
For hard mantles: do not touch fabric, leave the mantle in the container and install over
the ceramic nozzle, turning the container so the mantle slides into slots on ceramic tip .
Remove the container leaving the mantle on the ceramic nozzle.

mantle with match being careful not to touch mantle. Mantle is very fragile after
being burnt.

5. Using a screwdriver adjust flame with on / off valve to its brightest but containing
the flame within mantle.
