SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Before you begin …
Inspect all material for damage.
Make sure all brass connectors are free from breaks or damage.
Make sure torch assembly is not bent or broken.
DO NOT USE THIS TORCH IF ANY PART IS DAMAGED OR BROKEN
You must provide a UL listed LP Gas Hose with 9/16”-18 LH connections, an adjustable LP Gas
(Propane) regulator – for tank pressure inlet service up to, but no more than 30 PSI outlet pressure
rating, and a LPG liquid withdrawal propane supply cylinder. This cylinder must be approved by
the US Department of Transportation for propane service.
Inspect the threaded brass connection on the CGA-555 cylinder connector fitting, on the LPG
(propane) pressure regulator, for damage. If damaged, do not use the torch.
Connect the CGA-555 cylinder connector fitting to the LPG withdrawal propane supply cylinder.
(Refer to illustration)
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN
Make sure the torch control valve is turned completely OFF (fully clockwise). SLOWLY open the
gas valve on the propane supply cylinder. Immediately check for any gas leaks on the torch con-
trol valve, the gas hose, and the CGA-555 tank connector fitting using a soapy water or suitable
gas leak detection solution (available at your local LP Gas Retailer).
DO NOT USE A MATCH OR ANY OTHER OPEN FLAME TO DETECT FOR
GAS LEAKS
DO NOT OPERATE OR ATTEMPT TO LIGHT OR OPERATE THIS TORCH
IF THERE IS ANY EVIDENCE OF A GAS LEAK OR YOU SMELL GAS
If a leak is discovered, immediately turn OFF the gas valve on the propane cylinder.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
Before you begin …
Make sure you have followed the SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS completely.
SLOWLY open the gas valve on the propane supply cylinder. Check all connections on the torch,
hose and cylinder for leaks, using a soapy water solution or a suitable gas leak detection solution
(available from your local LP Gas supplier). Watch all connections carefully. If bubbles appear, a
leak is present in that area. Shut OFF the gas supply valve on the propane cylinder.
DO NOT OPERATE OR ATTEMPT TO LIGHT OR OPERATE THIS TORCH
IF A LEAK IS PRESENT
Open the gas control valve on the torch 1/8 of a turn, or until a small amount of gas begins to
escape from the torch. Using the flint striker supplied with your torch kit, ignite the gas at the
burner head end of the torch.
NEVER USE A MATCH OR CIGARETTE LIGHTER TO IGNITE THE GAS –
THIS CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS BURNS AND INJURIES
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO IGNITE THE GAS FOR
MORE THAN FIVE (5) SECONDS
If you cannot light the torch within 5 seconds, turn OFF both the gas control valve on the torch
and the gas supply valve on the propane cylinder. Adjust the size of the flame by using the ad-
justing knob on the LP (propane) pressure regulator or gas control valve on the torch.
IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE NOTE
The CGA-555 cylinder connector may be equipped with a safety device known as an Excess-
Flow Safety Check. This safety device prevents large amounts of propane from escaping if there
is a hose failure. This safety device may activate when you first turn ON the propane gas
supply. To correct this problem, simply close the propane gas supply valve on the propane
cylinder, wait 15 seconds, and then very slowly open the propane supply valve. This should re-
turn the torch system to a normal performance level.
If your torch is still not performing at a normal level, have your local propane supplier verify that
your propane supply cylinder is operating correctly.
SHUT-OFF INSTRUCTIONS
Turn OFF the valve on the gas supply cylinder first. Allow all of the gas to burn completely and
the flame to extinguish at the burner head. Turn OFF the gas control valve on the torch.
