Service Safety - Coleman NorthStar 2500A Mode D'emploi

General Safety Information
• 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.
• 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.
