Removing the Oil Wick

The oil wick* can be removed from the oil reservoir by using a pair of long-nose pliers or screwdriver. Reach into the reservoir with the pliers and grab several strands of the wicking. The entire wick should be ê PICTURE freed with a single pull.

If the wick has deteriorated or has become discolored, then it must be replaced. Such deterioration or dis- coloration is usually the result of charring caused by lack of oil.

*Boosters other than Series 100 contain two (2) oil wicks.
