CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65: WARNING: This fuel, and byproducts of

combustion of this fuel, contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

WARNING

This product is fueled by LPG. LPG 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.

LPG is heavier than air and leaking LPG will sink to the lowest level possible. It can ignite by ignition sources including matches, lighters, sparks or open flames of any kind many feet away from the original leak. Use only LPG set up for vapor withdrawal.

LPG should be stored or used in compliance with local ordinances and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off LPG when not in use.

DANGER

EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD

Never store LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) near high heat, open flames, pilot lights, direct sunlight, other ignition sources or where temperatures exceed 120 degrees F (49°C).

LPG is heavier than air and can accumulate in low places. If you smell gas, leave the

area immediately.

Never install or remove LPG cylinder while lantern is lighted, near flame, pilot lights, other ignition sources or while lantern is hot to touch.

During operation, this product can be a source of ignition. Never use the lantern in spaces that contain or may contain volatile or airborne combustibles, or products such as gasoline, solvents, paint thinner, dust particles or unknown chemicals. Minimum clearances from combustible materials: 24 inches from the sides and 48 inches from the top.

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.

Proper lantern operation produces a bright white light.

WARNING

Not for home or recreational vehicle use.

We cannot foresee every use which may be made of our products.

Check with your local fire safety authority if you have questions about use.

Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and heat producing products for specific uses. Your local authorities can advise you

about these.

Never refill disposable cylinders.

Use only Coleman® accessories or parts. During lantern set-up, check all fittings for leaks using soapy water. Never use a flame.

WARNING

BURN HAZARD

Never leave lantern unattended when hot or in use.

Keep out of reach of children.

DANGER

CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD

This lantern is a combustion appliance. All combustion appliances produce 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.

CAUTION

SERVICE SAFETY

Use only LPG set up for vapor withdrawal.

Keep all connections and fittings clean. Always inspect gas cartridge, lantern connections and “O” ring seal for damage, dirt and debris before attaching cartridge (Fig. 1). Replace if damaged or worn. Never use lantern with damaged or worn seals.

During set up, CHECK FOR LEAKS in one or more ways: Apply soapy water to connections. Look for bubbles. Listen for hiss of escaping gas. Feel for extreme cold. Smell for rotten egg odor. Never use a flame.

Do not use if leaking.

Use as a lighting appliance only. Never alter in any way or use with any device or part not expressly approved by Coleman.

Never use as a space heater.

Always use in upright position. Protect cylinder from excess heat.
