CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65:

WARNING:This fuel, and byproducts of com-

bustion 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 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 matches, 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 ignition sources or where temperatures exceed 120 degrees F (49°C).

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

• Never install or remove propane tank 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: 12 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.
