How do I bleed the air from my Turboflame?
If the lighter fails to ignite after completing all the usual checks and it is certain that there is an ignition spark and that the lighter seems to contain sufficient fuel, it may require bleeding to remove trapped air from the fuel tank. To bleed the lighter, turn the flame adjustment screw to minimum (turn clock wise); hold the lighter such that the refill valve faces downwards. Then press the refill valve using a pen knife or small screwdriver to discharge the air/gas mixture. Continue pressing until hissing stops. Press again several times until hissing stops completely. WARNING: Be careful of back spray to your face or skin since butane comes out very cold and could give you frost bite besides being extremely flammable (see warnings noted in instructions). Then refill the lighter. Shake the gas canister first. Use at least two five second bursts and shake the gas canister each time. Repeat until the lighter is full. Escaping gas indicates that the lighter is full.
