LWAYS USE THE RIGHT KIND OF FUEL
Substances in gasoline which do not vaporize
will form gums in the generator of your lantern.
The length of service you get from your lantern
and generator depends greatly upon the kind of
fuel you use.
Use only Coleman Stove and Lantern Fuel, or
clean white white gasoline. Never use fuel con-
taining lead compounds or lubricating oils. Store
your fuel in a clean, closed metal container.
(Glass containers are dangerous - may break.)
If Coleman Stove an Lantern Fuel or "white"
gasoline is not readily available, most oil com-
panies will gladly tell you where to obtail it.
T
O FILL TANK
Close fuel valve tightly to the right. Remove
Filler Cap and fill lantern with 1 3/5 pints of
fresh, clean fuel. Never use fuel containing lead
compounds or lubricating oils. Lantern should sit
level all during filling. Fuel for the lantern may
be strained through several thicknesses of finely
woven cloth or, more convenient, a No. 0
Coleman Filtering Funnel. After filling, replace
Filler cap and tighten firmly with fingers.
Never remove filler cap while lantern is lighted,
nor near open flame or excessive heat.
T
O PUMP
Fuel valve and Filler Cap must be closed firmly.
Turn Pump plunger two turns to the left. Place
thumb over small hole in end of Pump Plunger
and pump 35 to 40 full strokes of air into
lantern. Good pressure is important. Now turn
Pump Plunger clear to right until tight and push
it clear down. Oil Pump Leather occasionally to
keep it soft and pliable.
T
O TIE ON COLEMAN MANTLES
Remove Ball Nut at very top of lantern. Lift off
the ventilator and take out the Pyrex Glass
Globe.
Tie mantle around groove in burner cap (see
drawing). Flat side of mantle should face gener-
ator. Distibute folds of mantle evenly at top and
cut off suplus string. Burn mantle according to
instructions on mantle envelope.
A
LWAYS USE GENUINE COLEMAN MANTLES
These are the perfect functional counterpart of
the Generator, Air intake, and Mixing Chamber
of Coleman Lanterns. Saturated with top-quality,
light-producing chemicals, they are significantly
designed in shape, size, and weave to glow with
maximum brilliance in type of illumination
approximating natural day-light. Reinforced bot-
toms and absence of side seams give them
longer life. Moisture-proofed and denitrated
against deterioration. To make shure you get
coleman uniform quality, look for the Coleman
name stamped on genuine Coleman mantles.
Let cool after burning it off before lighting
lantern. Good air pressure in the lantern will
help to shape it and 30 minutes burning on first
lighting will help its strength.
