DANGER

General Safety Information cont.

• BURN HAZARD

• Never leave lantern unattended when hot or in use.

• Keep out of reach of children.

WARNING

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.

• SERVICE SAFETY

• Use only propane set up for vapor withdrawal.

• Keep all connections and fittings clean. Inspect propane cylinder and lantern propane connections for damage before attaching.

• 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.

CAUTION

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 compliance with local ordinances and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off propane when not in use.

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.
