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.
• 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.
WARNING
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.
