I know exactly how lanterns work as I own over 50 various ones and restored quite a few as well.I have the popular Feuerhand baby.
It’s pretty straightforward.
1. The top is lifted and the side lever rotates the globe for cleaning
or removal.
2. Just depressing the lever raises the globe for access to light the wick. Pre singing it makes igniting easier. Think char cloth.
3. You pour fuel into the lower reservoir. Use a funnel, and don’t overfill. Raising and lowering the wick via the lower wire knob clockwise soaks the wick.
4. With a good wooden match , raise as described back at #2 and light wick. Lower globe and adjust flame. To high and it smokes.
5. To extinguish, rotate lever retracting wick until it goes out.
Misc: the lantern is very stiff new with the paint. It will eventually loosen up with repeated use.
There are a few accessories; a reflector shade, warming plate to heat a small cups or citronella oil
And replacement filler caps.
Thanks but those aren't the vintage version I'm after.
Thanks for that CD, it does appear to be what I'm after. Just have to find a printable version nowFound this... Not sure if it's what you're looking for though...

Seit 30 Jahren unverändert stellt die FH 276 das einzige Modell dar, welches noch bis 2012 von der Feuerhand GmbH poduzierte wurde. Pro Jahr wurden rund 1,5 Millionen Laternen dieses Typs hergestellt, von denen 98 Prozent durch die Firma Reco, welche die alleinigen Vertriebsrechte inne hatte...sturmlaternen.jimdofree.com
It's the vintage version I'm after.What makes you think that the instruction manual for this particular model will be any different to the 275/276 etc Basically the same design, just extra globes and the sturmkappe? Or is it just a vintage versin of the instructions you are after?
