Aristo Rt Torch Neck Installation - ESAB RT KS-2 Instruction Manual

5 INSTALLATION
1. Select the correct wire guide, contact tip (4), tip holder (2), gas nozzle (5), and gas
diffuser/spatter protection (3). You will find an exact overview and possible alternative
equipment elements for various torch models in the spare parts list. Only use original
ESAB parts; only then is the fitting accuracy ensured.
2. Firmly tighten the tip holder and the contact tip using a suitable tool for example the
enclosed monkey wrench.
3. When using a split wire guide, remove the installed guide nipple including the o-ring
from the torch flange upon delivery if necessary (see section "Installing the neck
liner").
ATENȚIE!
The torch must be completely equipped before welding, especially the gas
diffuser and/or spatter protection and all necessary insulators have to be
installed according to the spare parts list. Welding without these items may
cause immediate destruction of the torch.

Aristo RT torch neck installation

NOTĂ!
Check the O-rings on the flange of the torch neck before mounting. Replace the
O-rings if damaged or lost. Missing or faulty O-rings will lead to leaks of shielding
gas and coolant.
1. For hollow wrist systems, insert the torch into the torch mount in the correct
orientation, so that the locator pin fits into the slot of the RT KSC-2 or RT FLC-2
interface, see (A) in the illustration below. For standard systems, attach the torch to
the RT flange of the cable assembly, (B) in the illustration below.
Installation is only possible in the correct orientation.
2. Tighten the locking nut of the torch neck.
NOTĂ!
Only tighten by hand, never use tools or excessive force.
