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 lowest level possible. It can ignite by ignition sources including match- es, lighters, 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 compli- ance with local ordinances and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off propane when not in use.

DANGER

EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD

Never store propane near high heat, open flames, pilot lights, direct sunlight, other igni- tion sources or where temperatures exceed 120 degrees F (49°C).

Propane is heavier than air and can accumu- late in low places. If you smell gas, leave the area immediately.

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 invisi- ble killer. If these symptoms are present dur- ing operation of this product get fresh

air immediately!
