Operating Procedures.
WARNING
Prior to turning on propane gase, make sure all connections are tight. Make sure all valves are operating
properly. Check for unusual odors or sounds that would indicate gas leaking.
(1)
Turn the propane tank control valve (6, Figure 2-34) counterclockwise to open.
(2)
Hold the torch in one hand. Open torch control valve (7) a very minimal amount. This will permit gas to
flow from the torch.
(3)
Light a match, cigarette lighter, or striker from cutting torch assembly. Hold it at the gas outlet of the torch
mixer.
WARNING
If the heat manifold (5) is filled with non-burned gas and then lit, you will get a "blowgun" effect. If you
suspect the presence of gas in the manifold, wait 10 to 15 minutes to allow the gas to dissipate.
(4)
Insert the torch into the adapter (4) through the manifold (5). Figure 2-34 shows the completed installation.
