To light the Coleman Empire Lantern 237, first ensure that the fuel tank is filled with clean Coleman fuel. Pump the tank 20-30 times to pressurize it. Open the fuel valve slightly and wait for the hissing sound of escaping gas. Ignite a match and bring it to the mantle before fully opening the valve to light the lantern.
If the lantern is not lighting, check if the fuel tank is pressurized. Ensure the fuel valve is open and the generator is not clogged. Inspect the mantle for damage and replace if necessary. If the issue persists, clean the fuel and air tubes.
To replace the mantle, first ensure the lantern is cool. Remove the globe and unscrew the old mantle. Attach the new mantle to the burner, tie it securely, and trim any excess string. Light the mantle with a match to burn off the fabric and form the white ash.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the generator, checking and replacing mantles, ensuring the fuel is clean, and inspecting the gaskets for wear. Periodically oil the pump cup to maintain pressure efficiency.
To clean the generator, first release the pressure from the fuel tank and ensure the lantern is cool. Remove the generator from the lantern and clean it with a soft brush or cloth. If clogged, soak it in a solvent to dissolve any residue. Reassemble once dry.
Use only clean Coleman fuel or white gas for optimal performance and safety. Avoid using unleaded gasoline as it can clog the generator and damage the lantern.
If the lantern light flickers, check the fuel level and ensure the tank is properly pressurized. Inspect the mantle for holes or tears and replace if needed. Clean the generator, as a clogged generator can cause inconsistent fuel flow.
To store the lantern safely, empty the fuel tank and release any pressure. Clean the exterior and remove the globe and mantle if necessary. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
First, ensure the lantern is cool. Carefully remove the old globe by lifting it off the burner assembly. Place the new globe onto the burner, ensuring it sits securely in position. Reassemble any additional parts before use.
If the lantern is difficult to pressurize or the pump feels unusually stiff, the pump cup may need oiling. Apply a small amount of oil to the pump cup and test. If the problem persists, consider replacing the pump cup to ensure proper function.
