On the way there
Awesome. A few tips. Lanterns and stoves are very different.
It isn't a lighting lever. That's the tip cleaner. Always down except when cleaning. Especially when lighting.
To light, pump up, open no more than 1/4 turn. This activates the "instant lighting feature" which means it's mixing some of your compressed air with the fuel. Once the mantle is hot, open ALL THE WAY. There is no adjustment. When running its wide open, always. It actually helps to get it lit, and since the lighting process uses some of the pressure in the tank, pump it back up once wide open and running. Then it should run for many hours without being messed with.
To understand the valve and how it works, spin the valve out of the fount of one of your lanterns, then take the valve apart. You'll see the instant light spring, operating rod and air hole in the fuel/air tube.
Bet you got a few "roll-eyes" LOL.
Have fun. Message inbound about your 426.
