Coleman 5155B manual Carbon Monoxide Hazard, California Proposition Burn Hazard, Service Safety

General Safety Information cont.

DANGER

•CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD

•This lantern is a combustion appliance. All combustion appliances pro- duce carbon monoxide (CO) during the combustion process. This product is designed to produce extremely minute, non-hazardous amounts of CO if used and maintained in accordance with all warnings and instructions. Do not block air flow into or out of the lantern.

•Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning produces flu-like symptoms, watery eyes, headaches, dizziness, fatigue and possibly death. You can’t see it and you can’t smell it. It’s an invisible killer. If these symptoms are present during operation of this product get fresh air immediately!

•For outdoor use only.

•Never use inside house, camper, tent, vehicle or other unventilated or enclosed areas. This lantern consumes air (oxygen). Do not use in unventilated or enclosed areas to avoid endangering your life.

WARNING

•This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane gas is invisible, odorless, and flammable. An odorant is normally added to help detect leaks and can be described as a “rotten egg” smell. The odorant can fade over time so leaking gas is not always detectable by smell alone.

•Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking propane will sink to the low- est level possible. It can ignite by ignition sources including matches, light- ers, sparks or open flames of any kind many feet away from the original leak. Use only propane gas set up for vapor withdrawal.

•Propane gas should be stored or used in compliance with local ordinanc- es and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off propane when not in use.
