GIMBALS
Gimbals for ORIGO 1500 and 3000 are optional. Your ORIGO 1500 and 3000 gimbals
should be mounted as follows: The gimbal sideplates are fastened to the lower body of the
stove by the enclosed nuts and bolts (photo 6). They can only be attached in one way.

The gimbal arms, however, can be turned to enable the stove to be lowered forwards or
backwards. Before mounting the gimbal arms, make a test by attaching them to the gimbal
plates in order to determine which alternative is right for your boat. Remember that the
stove top must be raised to full upright position in order to remove burner units for filling,
when the gimbals are in down position. Also be sure that your ORIGO 1500 and 3000
stove has sufficient room to swing freely when gimbals are used. Take care that stove is
not mounted too close to combustible materials, or materials likely to deteriorate from the
heat. When lifting the stove into position you fasten the gimbal side plates to the gimbal
arms at the pivot point using the two special thumb screws supplied. Be sure that the
installation is done in the correct sequence.
Fiber washers with round holes must be placed on the gimbal arm side. Then hang stove.
Place fiber washers with oblong hole between body of stove and gimbal plate. They are cut
to fit the end of the plate, and fasten the screws. Adjust the tension of the screws to the
desired friction.
GASKETS
The stove is delivered with gaskets on top of the tanks. These are to be used if you are not
using your stove for some time. Can also be used to prevent evaporation in hot climate.
Use this way: fold up the stovetop, check that the stove has become cold. Put the gaskets
over the tank openings. Fold down the stovetop to horizontal position and open the burners
to lock the top in closed position.
