Take the Main Frame Attachment (B) and insert the angled end into the Main

Frame / Gas Bottle Attachment (A).

The holes will line up when inserted correctly.

Insert the Axle Bolt (J) through the hole (red arrow) when lined up.

(Ensure that the end of the bolt is pointing in the same direction as the gas bottle

holder).

Inserting into the Main Frame hole can be tight. A tap at the end with a

Undo the nut and bolt that are already in the top of Main Frame Attachment (B)

(Near the cam adjuster).

Attach the Handle (C) using the bottom hole onto the bolt and do up the nut and

bolt again.

The locking pin will fit into one of the adjustment holes.

Make sure the nut and bolt are not overtight so you can still adjust the handle via

the cam adjuster when out in the field.

Use a shifting spanner and/or a socket spanner to tighten the nut. Hold the

bolt from the other side when tightening the nut.

Make sure the flame head (D) is sitting in the opposite direction to the gas bottle

Holder (as they counter act each other's weight to give stability to your Incinerator

Multi).

Undo the wing nut (for the bottom hole) and the nut and split washer (for the top

hole).

Insert the Flame Head (D)into the Main Frame / Gas Bottle Attachment (A) using

the two predrilled holes.

Do up the spring washer and nut (on the top hole). Make sure they are not

overtight, so they still allow movement to adjust the angle of the flame head (D).

Use a shifting spanner and/or a socket spanner to tighten the nut. Hold the

bolt from the other side when tightening the nut.

Do up the wing nut (on the bottom bolt) finger tight.

To adjust the angle of the Flame Head (D), loosen the wing nut to adjust then re-

tighten.

CAUTION! Adjustment of the angle of the Flame Head (D) must

always be done while the flame is OFF. This should be before

starting your Incinerator Multi or when the Flame Head has had enough

time to cool off after using it.

NOTE: 2 wheels are included. You can either attach one and leave the other as a

spare, or you can attach a second wheel if you feel the Incinerator Multi is more

stable (using both wheels will reduce manoeuvrability). We recommend the use

of ONE wheel only.

ONE WHEEL –Insert the Axle bolt (J) into the hole on the Main frame / Gas Bottle

Attachment, then slide on the wheel to the Axle Bolt (J).

Do up the nut, ensure that you don’t over tighten the nut and bolt as this will

cause unnecessary drag and wear the bearings.

Spin the wheel to check that it spins freely but there is no free play. You will have

more of Axle bolt (J) sticking out, this is for if you were to install the second

wheel.

TWO WHEELS –Take one wheel and slide onto Axle bolt (J), insert the wheel and

Axle bolt through the hole on the Main Frame / Gas Bottle Attachment. Then attach

the second wheel to Axle Bolt (J).

Do up the nut ensure that you don’t over tighten the nut and bolt as this will cause

unnecessary drag and wear the bearings.

Take your gas bottle and slide the base into the groves on the gas bottle holder

(A) (the extra slots are for adjustment for bigger gas bottles or if the gas bottle

is too full/empty).

Take the Gas Bottle Holder Strap (H) and secure it around the gas bottle and the

Main Frame / Gas Bottle Attachment (A). Make sure that the bottle is held firmly

and doesn’t move.

Once the gas bottle is installed adjust the Flame Head (D) back in towards

the gas bottle (as per the arrow) to find the right balance and stabilise the

machine so that it will stand by itself. You might need to re-adjust this repeatedly

as the gas bottle becomes emptier and weighs less.

If using thread sealant, make sure you wait the recommended drying

time as per sealant instructions.

Turn on gas at LPG bottle and listen for any gas leaks, test for

leaks by applying a mixture of water and liquid soap using a spray

bottle. If the connections bubble, you have a leak and must not use

the equipment. Make sure all connections are tight and repeat

above steps. If leak continues contact a registered gas ﬁtter.

Take your Incinerator Multi to the intended area of use. Plan where and how you

are you going to use the Incinerator Multi so you can decide what adjustments to

make.

Make sure that the Handle is on a setting that is comfortable for you and that both

the horizontal and vertical angle of the Flame Head are adjusted to suit the

requirements according to the width of the area you want to flame weed and to

the height of the weeds etc. (e.g., Walking path, fence line or full garden bed).

This is important because once the Incinerator Multi is in use, it would be incredibly

hot to touch or adjust. You won’t be able to adjust the Flame Head again until it

cools down.

We recommend that you wheel around your Incinerator Multi for a bit before you

light it to make sure you are comfortable with the settings/adjustments.

Once you are experienced at operating it, this step will be a lot quicker, please

remember that to change adjustments once you have lit the Incinerator Multi, you

will need to wait for it to cool down due to the temperature of the machine once

it is lit.

Operating Instructions

Step 1 –Adjustments

WARNING

THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT INVOLVES OPEN FLAME, HIGH

TEMPERATURES AND LPG GAS. FOLLOW ALL SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS AS DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL.

We recommend the use of safety gloves and eye protection for this stage.

Rest the Handle on the ground ensuring that the handle is on an even surface.

Take your flint lighter and open the gas bottle slightly (till you hear the gas

escaping from the Flame Head (D).

Reach over carefully and light the Flame Head (D). Once lit you can lift the handle

up from the ground and you can adjust the flame by opening the gas more.

When initially opening the valve on the handle of the incinerator Multi, be ready

to light the burner with the accompanying flint lighter immediately. Never allow

prolonged LPG to flow to the unignited burner. If there has been excess unburned

LPG flow, close the valve, move your unit away from where you are and make

sure you have allowed ample time for the LPG to dissipate before re attempting

to ignite the burner.

If you smell gas, shut off the LPG bottle to the device. Extinguish any open flame.

Check the device for any leaks using the soap and water solution. Do not attempt

to re light the device until leaks are repaired and there is no gas smell.

Opening the gas bottle more will increase the flame significantly, so adjust

carefully.

Step 2 –Lighting the Incinerator Multi

P a g e | 17

Once you have the flame set at the right intensity, walk along the path of weeds

you wish to burn. To decrease the flame, turn down the gas using the gas valve

on the bottle.

If you wish to change the horizontal

angle of the Flame Head, to adjust to a

different area while in use, (e.g. from flame

weeding a path to a fence line) you can do so

by tilting the unconnected end of the

Flame Head (D) onto the ground and

pushing the Handle (C) the opposite

direction you want the Flame Head (D) to

move to.

Watch Incinerator Multi Short Operation Demo or

scan QR code for a practical demonstration.

Once you have finished using the Incinerator Multi, turn off the gas bottle to the

closed position, the remaining gas will burn away, and the flame will disappear.

Make sure you allow enough time for the extremely hot parts to cool down

before you touch them.

Step 3 –Using the Incinerator Multi

Step 4 –Shutting down the Incinerator Multi

DANGER

THE FLAME HEAD WILL STILL BE EXTREMELY HOT IMMEDIATELY

AFTER EXTINGUISHING THE FLAME. DO NOT TOUCH UNTIL YOU

HAVE ALLOWED ENOUGH TIME FOR IT TO COOL DOWN.

THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT INVOLVES OPEN FLAME, HIGH

TEMPERATURES AND LPG GAS. FOLLOW ALL SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS AS DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL.

that the Incinerator Multi is protected from the harsh environment such as rain,

storms and prolonged sunlight as the elements could damage it.

Always double check that the gas bottle is fully shut off and there is no gas coming

out.

It is a good idea to keep the Flint Lighter (G) hanging from the Handle (C) to

avoid losing it
