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 gas when not

in use.

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 the preset regulator that came with the lantern. Do not attempt to adjust.

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