William, went to Coleman site, looks like you remove screws on bottom of lantern to access and change battery.
Check the attached links to your manual,
"I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button. Check out some of my other posts if you need more tips and info."
It's easy once you figure it out. Unscrew the top and then push down on the exposed screw threads with your thumb. The internal "guts" slide out the bottom.
Modern Chinese lanterns made for home decorations are filling the current market. These are available in shops coming in different shapes and colors. The current designs contain strings or cords that are used to supply power and for attaching the indoor home lanterns available. These lanterns use minimal amount of power and are able to use a battery for a long period. Hanging these lanterns on the wall creates a good finished look. The Chinese lanterns are easy to light up using their battery power sources as well as they are permanent objects unlike outdoor lanterns used during festivities and are later released to the skies above.
This lantern is designed to run on gasoline, but will work best with white gas, also generically known as "coleman fuel" in many areas. White gas is in fact a more pure form of gasoline, without many of the fine particulates and impure distillates found in automotive gasoline.
Most hardware stores and sporting goods stores carry Coleman or other brands of white gas.
Isolate hot and cold suplies in turn and to identify which valve is letting by. Ring Atriflo (Perrin & Rowe) on 01708 526361 (Mon-Fri) to order the correct valve. For the Oberon the parts are Hot: 9.13145; Cold: 9.13146, but check with them first - they are very helpful and on the ball.To access the valve remove the handle (unscrew manually); remove the handle coupler (size 14 hex. bit) and gently unscrew the chrome bell-shaped valve shroud. (A mole wrench gently applied, with suitable padding to avoid dinking the chrome, does it nicely.) All will then be revealed.
