INSTALLATION Torch coolant requirements The power supply is shipped without any coolant in the tank. Hypertherm recommends a mixture of 30% propylene glycol, 69.9% deionized water, and 0.1% benzotriazole. This mixture resists freezing to -12° C (+10° F) and contains a corrosion inhibitor to protect copper surfaces in the coolant loop. This mixture is available in 1-gallon (3.8 liter) containers by ordering 028872.

Use a high-quality, 2-stage, gas regulator to maintain consistent gas supply pressure from high pressure gas cylinders. The high-quality gas regulators listed below are available from Hypertherm and meet U.S. Compressed Gas Association (CGA) specifications. In other countries, select gas regulators that conform to national or local codes.
CUTTING WITH OXYGEN CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION Cutting with oxygen as the plasma gas can cause a potential fire hazard due to the oxygen-enriched atmosphere that it creates. As a precaution, Hypertherm recommends that an exhaust ventilation system be installed when cutting with oxygen.
