[VAC] Re: Another Stupid Newbie Question....

[Bob Kiger <myairstream@xxxxxxxx>]

On my 66 Safari the Atwood Bowen has a pipe that runs from
the outside inward toward the tank.  There is a bunch of tubes and
sensors in front inside of that pipe.  The pilot is toward the rear
of those tubes.  It is most easily reached with a butane fire stick.

Locate the red knob on the left side of the entire unit.  Get your
closeup glasses and read the labels which should be OFF / ON and a
grooved position.  This grooved position is the pilot
position.  When it is placed down the groove enables you to press
the pilot button for a while.  Then light the pilot with the fire
stick while continuing to hold the pilot button down for about 30
seconds.

Then release the pilot button and turn the red knob to the ON
position.  Almost immediately the gas will jet flame down the pipe
toward the tank.  Carefully put back on the screen using the two
twist nuts.  Try to do all this in a place where it is not windy or
block the wind.

PS To all Newbies.  A lot of people would rather hear the nature of
the problem in the subject line.  Seems to me that there are too
many threads that begin with "A Newbie Question" or
"Another Stupid Newbie Question".  At some level we're all
newbies.
