designed, fabricated, tested and marked in
accordance with regulations of the U.S. Department
of Transportation, the Canadian Transport
Commission or the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Supply cylinders must be arranged
to provide for vapor withdrawal from the
operating cylinder.

the LP-Gas hose. Check for dents or physical
damage. The O-ring should be present on nipple
fitting. If damage is evident, call for replacement
parts.

• Always use a flint lighter to ignite the torch.
DO NOT USE MATCHES OR CIGARETTE
LIGHTER TO IGNITE THE TORCH.
• Be certain the flame adjusting valve is closed
before opening the LP-Gas cylinder valve.
1. Slowly open the LP-Gas cylinder valve. Check
all gas connections to the torch for leaks with a
leak detection solution, such as soapy water.
Leaks will be indicated by forming bubbles
around the source. Please allow one minute for
bubbles to appear. Repair all leaks and test for
leaks prior to lighting torch.
2. Familiarize yourself with the functions of the
squeeze valve operations. The pilot valve knob
is used for lighting the torch and adjusting the
pilot flame. Once the desired pilot flame is
achieved, the squeeze handle is depress to give
the required working flame pattern. continued
