To ignite the Coleman Sport-Lite Lantern 242B, first ensure that the fuel tank is filled. Then, open the fuel valve slightly and press the ignition button until the lantern lights. Adjust the flame using the control knob.
The Coleman Sport-Lite Lantern 242B is designed to use Coleman Liquid Fuel or unleaded gasoline. Using the recommended fuel ensures optimal performance and longevity of the lantern.
If the lantern won't stay lit, check the fuel level and ensure the fuel cap is tightly sealed. Inspect the generator for clogs and clean if necessary. Also, ensure the air tube is clear of obstructions.
Regular maintenance involves cleaning the globe, checking the mantle for damage, and ensuring the air tube is clear. Use a soft cloth for the globe and inspect all components for wear or damage regularly.
To replace the mantle, ensure the lantern is cool. Remove the globe, untie and discard the old mantle, and tie the new mantle in place. Burn off the new mantle to ash before lighting the lantern.
If you notice a strong fuel odor, check for leaks around the fuel cap and connections. Tighten any loose fittings and ensure the fuel valve is not open when the lantern is off.
The Coleman Sport-Lite Lantern 242B can be used in cold weather. However, keep the fuel tank warm to maintain pressure and ensure proper functioning. Consider using a fuel additive for extreme cold.
The generator should be replaced if you notice decreased performance or clogging. Regularly inspect and clean it; replacement frequency depends on usage conditions and frequency.
The Coleman Sport-Lite Lantern 242B is designed for outdoor use. Using it indoors can pose a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Always ensure adequate ventilation if used in enclosed spaces.
Before storing, empty the fuel tank and clean the lantern. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent rust and damage.
