SERVICE SAFETY
• Keep all connections and fittings clean. Inspect propane cylinder and
propane connections for damage before attaching.
• During set up, check all connections and fittings for leaks using soapy
water. Never use a flame. Bubbles indicate a leak. Check that the
connection is not cross-threaded and that it is tight. Perform another
leak check. If there is still a leak, remove the cylinder and contact
Coleman for service or repairs.
• Use for water heating only. Never alter in any way or use with any
device or part not expressly approved by Coleman.
• Always use in an upright position.
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.
• Disconnect propane before storing the heater.
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 ques-
tions 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 the preset regulator that is installed in the water heater. Do
not attempt to adjust.
