Before You Begin
!
Read this entire manual before you use your new Lantern, especially the section "Safety
Precautions" on page 4. Failure to follow the instructions may result in property damage,
bodily injury, or even death.
!
Remove any cover from the Lantern prior to operation (the optional stainless-steel rain cap
may be left in place.
!
Inspect the Lantern to make sure it is free of debris or objects that may have fallen into the
Lantern prior to operation.
!
Inspect the Lantern, burner, and supply lines for any damage prior to operation. The
burner must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation if it is evident that
the burner is damaged. Use only Travis Industries replacement burners.
!
It may be difficult to see the burner operating in direct sunlight.
Operating Instructions
WARNING
: Do not continue to push in the valve control in if the Lantern does not light.
By pushing the valve control in, you are allowing gas to flow to the Lantern,
creating an explosion hazard. If the Lantern does not light, push the valve
control in and rotate the valve to the OFF position.
Lighting the Lantern – DRY WEATHER
NOTE: If re-lighting, make sure the Lantern remains off for
a minimum of 5 minutes before re-lighting.
1. Push valve control in and turn counter-clockwise to
START/HIGH position, then release.
2. Turn the DRY WEATHER IGNITER clockwise to create
spark (continue turning while performing step #3).
WARNING
: Make sure the igniter is sparking before
continuing to step 3. The spark is best viewed
by adjusting your viewing angle so eye level is
level with the burner top (see the illustration to
the right). The spark typically jumps from the
spark electrode to the burner ring.
3. Push and hold valve control in. Lantern must light within 5 seconds. After Lantern
lights continue to hold valve control in for 15 seconds. Note – if Lantern does not
light use a wand lighter in the wet weather lighter opening and perform step #3 to
light.
