Note: if you can carry only a bare minimum, carry matches, a signaling device (whistle), protection for your body from the elements (garbage bags), a container to heat water, quick energy food and adhesive bandages. In winter you can dip string in paraffin wax and wrap this around your matches. This will make the match burn longer and will help with starting fires. EO : LIGHT A STOVE AND LANTERN INTRODUCTION Coleman lanterns and stoves are designed to burn Coleman s own brand of fuel (or naphtha) which is a very flammable liquid fuel. This fuel is pressurized in a tank attached to the unit, heated in a generator and then burned as a gas. Keep your stove and lantern clean and in 3-18

PARTS OF A COLEMAN LANTERN HEAT SHIELD SAFETY Remember these safety procedures for the lantern: a. fill, light, and use the lantern outside of tents, buildings and confined shelters; b. ensure nothing flammable is placed on top of the lantern; c. only fill or pack up a lantern that is cool to your touch; d. be careful to avoid splashing fuel on your skin, or in your eyes; e. always fill the lantern in a different place than where you plan to use it stay downhill and downwind from stoves or lanterns that are being used or other sources of fire; 3-19

4 A-CR-CCP-121/PT-001 f. set the lantern on a stable, level and clean surface when you use and fill it. If you hang the lantern for use, ensure that it is secure and a safe distance away from flammable objects; g. always fill using a funnel, wiping up any spilled fuel; and h. ensure that the heat shield is in place. TO USE THE LANTERN After filling your lantern, clean and finger-tighten the filler cap. To pressurize the fuel tank: turn the pump handle counter-clockwise three turns, pump 10 to 15 strokes and then turn the pump handle clockwise until tight. When pumping, place your thumb over the hole in the pump handle when pushing in, and release it when pulling out. To light your lantern, light a match, insert the match through the access hole at the bottom of the globe, and then turn the control knob clockwise just enough to allow some fuel into the mantle. Some lanterns may have a gas tip cleaning lever which will have to be engaged to light. Do not touch the mantle with the match. When the lantern is burning with an even white light, turn the control knob to fully open, and return the gas tip cleaning lever. You will need to re-pressurize the fuel tank on a regular basis during the 6 to 8 hours that the fuel will last. Never open a pressurized fuel tank when the lantern is lit. To turn off, simply stop the gas flow by turning the control knob. Always refill your lantern immediately after use (when cool) if you plan to use it again soon. 3-20

TO USE THE STOVE After filling your stove, ensure that you clean and finger-tighten the filler cap. To pressurize the fuel tank: turn the pump handle counterclockwise three turns, pump 30 to 40 strokes and then turn the pump handle clockwise until tight. When pumping, place your thumb over the hole in the pump handle when pushing in, and release it when pulling out. 3-21

6 A-CR-CCP-121/PT-001 Ensure that the lid is properly supported by the adjustable braces at the bottom edge of each baffle. To light your stove, lift the grate and turn the lighting lever up. Light a match, turn the generator valve to the light position and, holding the match horizontally, place the match close to the right hand burner. When the stove is burning with an even blue flame (about 1 minute), turn the generator valve to the desired setting and return the lighting lever to the down position. If required, light the second burner by lighting a match, pulling the control valve out and opening it 2 to 3 turns, and place the match close to the burner. You will need to re-pressurize the fuel tank on a regular basis during use. As the level of fuel decreases, the number of strokes required to re-pressurize will increase. Never open a pressurized fuel tank when the stove is lit. To turn off, simply stop the gas flow by turning the generator valve. Always turn off the left hand burner first. Refill your stove immediately after use (when cool) if you plan to use again soon. SINGLE BURNER STOVE Burner Generator Control valve Pump The single burner stove follows the same lighting procedures as listed above. The single burner stove is lightweight, convenient to pack and carry, and is good for one to five people on an expedition. 3-22
