Connecting the Torch to
the Propane Gas Supply
1. Remove the cap from the POL. Insert POL stem
into the valve on the propane gas supply. Thread the
nut counterclockwise into the propane supply valve.
Tighten the nut securely with a wrench. See Fig. 3

NOT require a regulator. The POL fi tting
is connected directly to the LP tank
valve. Torchman 300 SV torches require
a regulator.)
2. Slowly open the tank valve. This will prevent lock-
up of the excess fl ow valve within POL stem.
3. Check all connections with approved leak detector.
Do not use fl ame to check for leaks. A fi re or explo-
sion may result.
4. When storing or transporting the torch, ensure the
POL is protected from damage and dirt entry.
