age to torch components leading to
property damage.

spected on a daily basis after torch re-
location and when the torch is in use.
If it is evident there is excessive abra-
sion or wear, or if the hose is cut, it
must be replaced prior to the torch
being put into operation. The hose as-
sembly shall be protected from build-
ing materials, and contact with hot
surfaces during use. The hose assem-
bly shall be that specified by the man-
ufacturer. See parts list.

operation by a qualified service person
before each use and at least annually.

gas supply container if the torch is not
planned for immediate use.

This torch may be used with a mini-
mum size 20 lb. capacity propane con-
tainer when portability is desired.
However, this size will not provide suf-
ficient vaporization and pressure for
extended torch operation. Ensure that
additional 20lb. containers are avail-
able, or use a larger gas container (50
or 100 lb.).
When the torch is to be stored indoors,
the connection between the propane
gas supply cylinder(s) and the torch
must be disconnected and the cylin-
der(s) removed from the torch and
stored in accordance with Chapter 9,
CAN/CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code.
Propane gas supply containers have
left handed threads. Always use the
appropriate wrench to make a connec-
tion to tighten or loosen the P.O.L. fit-
ting at the container's gas supply
valve.
Always use pipe thread compound that
is resistant to propane gas when mak-
ing threaded connections.
The components on the torch that call
for hand operation should work with
hand pressure only. If more force is re-
quired, have a qualified gas heater
service agency replace the defective
part. Do not attempt to repair.
