WARNING
4. For the WT4500, use flint striker to
ignite torch by creating a spark near
torch nozzle (see Figure 6a). For the
WT5500, press the piezo ignitor
switch near handle (see Figure 6b).
Do not use matches
or cigarette lighter
to ignite torch.
5. Adjust flame to a minimal level with
torch gas valve.
Torch Use
Point torch at what you want to heat
and pull Turbo Blast Trigger to intensify
the size of the flame (see Figure 7).
Release trigger to bring flame back to
minimal level.
NOTE:
If you have the torch gas valve
open too high, when you pull the
Turbo Blast Trigger, the flame will tend
to “blow out” and require reignition.
On the WT5500, there is an adjustable
brass knob used to limit the distance
the Turbo Blast Trigger can move. Turn
the valve clockwise for a smaller flame.
Turn it counterclockwise for a larger
flame. (As a safety precaution, these units
!
WARNING
are equipped with an excess-flow check
valve that shuts off the gas in the event
of a damaged or severed hose. If you
allow the flame to grow too large, the
excess-flow check valve will automatically
shut off gas flow to the torch.)
To extinguish the flame, close the
torch gas flow valve and propane
cylinder valve.
Make certain that
torch is completely cooled before
storing. The torch nozzle will be very
hot. Do not touch it or rest it on
anything that can be damaged by heat.
Maintenance
Prior to each use:
1. Inspect all components of the device
for damage and or wear.
If the hose shows
excessive abrasion
or wear, if the hose is cut, or if it is
more than 5 years old, it must be
replaced prior to operation.
2. Inspect LP gas tank for dents,
damage to collar, damage to shut-off
valve or corroded foot ring.
If dents, damage to
collar, damage to
shut-off valve or corroded foot ring are
present, the LP gas tank must be
replaced prior to operation.
3. Perform a leak test using soapy water
or leak test solution.
4. Ignite the torch according to lighting
instructions. Check operation of
adjusting valve and all other
components prior to proceeding.
Periodically:
1. Remove any debris or combustible
