7. Transportation and storage
For transportation, the pressure reducers must always be removed from the
cartridges. Disassemble only at a well-ventilated place, preferably outdoors.
After completion of the work: Close the valves on the handle and on the two pressure reducers. To
remove the remaining amount of gas in the hose, open the valves on the handle again. This will
depressurize the hoses. Now close the valves on the handle again.
Disassemble the pressure reducers. Safety devices, hoses and burners can stay connected.
Secure the device against falling and slipping. Storage and transport only with upright standing
cartridges.
8. Assembly
Assemble only at a well-ventilated place, preferably outdoors. All connections
must be tightened or loosened with the supplied spanners. Ensure via leak
detection spray (e.g. ROTEST, Art.-No. 65000) or soapy water that all connec-
tions are gas tight.
A Make sure that all valves are closed before starting work.
B Select an appropriate welding tip (see table "Welding tips") and screw it to the mixing tube.
Use the welding tip holder to tighten the connection.
C Screw the mixing tube to the handle by using the coupling nut. Alternatively, screw the flexible
welding nozzle to the handle in the same way.
D Screw the hose to the handle. The oxygen hose (blue) has a conventional right-hand thread, the
®
MAPP
-gas hose (orange) has a left-hand thread.
E Screw both safety devices to the hoses.
F Screw both safety devices to the pressure reducers.
G Screw the cartridges into the pressure reducers by holding the pressure reducer firmly and
turning only the cartridge. The MAPP
cartridge has a left-hand thread. Ensure a smooth turning action. Damage caused by an oblique
screwing lead to an expiry of the warranty.
H Clamp the cartridges onto the frame.
9. Starting up
9.1 Igniting the flame
Ensure via leak detection spray (e.g. ROTEST, Art.-No. 65000) or soapy water that
all connections are gas tight. After opening the fuel gas valve, the ignition must
be made immediately, as this may lead to an explosion. Ensure a good venti-
lation of the room.
A Make sure that all valves are closed before starting work.
B Open the valve of the oxygen pressure reducer.
C Open the valve of the MAPP
D Carefully open the oxygen valve (blue) on the burner. Make sure the oxygen flow is very low, as
the flame cannot ignite properly with a strong oxygen flow.
E Carefully open the gas valve (red) on the burner. Make sure the fuel gas flow is very low, as the
flame cannot ignite properly with a strong gas flow. Ignite the released gas mixture immediately
using the supplied safety igniter.
