NOTE:
A SEPARATE AIR DRYER BETWEEN THE AIR COMPRESSOR AND REGULATOR ASSEMBLY MUST BE INSTALLED. IT SHOULD BE INSTALLED AS CLOSE TO THE
WELDER AS PRACTICAL.
THIS IS A CUSTOMER SUPPLIED ITEM.
THIS WILL REDUCE CUTTING ISSUES SUCH AS SPITTING, POPPING AND RAPID CONSUMABLE WEAR.
THE REGULATOR/FILTER THAT IS INCLUDED WITH THE WELDER IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO REMOVE ALL MOISTURE. IT SERVES ONLY AS A WATER TRAP AND FINE
SEDIMENT FILTER. ANY AIR COMPRESSOR SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE AT LEAST SOME MOISTURE REGARDLESS OF HUMIDITY LEVELS AND ENVIRONMENT. DAILY
DRAINING THE AIR COMPRESSOR SUPPLYING AIR TO THE PLASMA CUTTER IS RECOMMENDED. THE AIR SUPPLIED TO THE PLASMA CUTTER SHOULD BE OF SIMI-
LAR QUALITY USED FOR AUTOMOTIVE PAINTING. DIFFERENT STYLES OF DRYERS ARE AVAILABLE. THE MOST INEXPENSIVE AND COMMONLY AVAILABLE IS THE
REPLACEABLE DESSICANT TYPE USED FOR AUTOMOTIVE PAINTING. DAMAGE DONE TO THE TORCH AND THE PLASMA CUTTER (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
SHORTING, CORROSION, AND DETERIORATION OF INTERNAL LINES AND COMPONENTS) AS A RESULT OF EXCESS MOISTURE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WAR-
RANTY. ADDITIONALLY, A FILTER SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN-LINE AT THE COMPRESSOR TO FILTER ANY EXCESS OIL OR OIL BLOW-BY FROM THE LINE IF NECES-
SARY. DO NOT USE WITH OILING SYSTEMS DESIGNED TO AUTOMATICALLY LUBRICATE AIR TOOLS. OIL WILL DAMAGE THE TORCH AND CONSUMABLES AS WELL.
DAMAGE DONE TO THE CUTTER OR THE TORCH BY OIL IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. IT IS ADVISABLE TO USE THE PLASMA CUTTER WITH A NEW AIR
HOSE/LINE THAT IS FRESH WITHOUT MOISTURE OR LUBE CONTAMINATION AND DEDICATE IT FOR PLASMA USE ONLY. IF THERE IS AN AIR PRESSURE DROP
GREATER THAN 5-10 PSI FROM THE COMPRESSOR OR AIR FLOW IS SUSPECTED TO BE INSUFFICENT, INCREASE TO A LARGER SIZE EXTERNAL DRYER/FILTER AND AIR
LINE. FAILURE TO USE A DRYER/FILTER IS A LEADING CAUSE OF PLASMA CUTTING AND CONSUMABLE WEAR ISSUES.

NOTE:
WHEN ASSEMBLING THE AIR REGULATOR NOTICE THE MARKING S THAT ARE
STAMPED ON TOP OF THE REGULATOR HOUSING FOR AIR FLOW DIRECTION. AIR FLOW
DIRECTION WILL BE NOTED AS IN OR OUT OR BE STAMPED WITH A SMALL ARROW FOR
AIR FLOW DIRECTION. THE QUICK CONNECT
1/4”
MALE AUTOMOTIVE COUPLING SHOULD
BE MOUNTED ON THE SIDE OF THE REGULATOR WITH
“

”
OR THE ARROW POINTING TO
THE MIDDLE OF THE REGULATOR. IF PRESENT, REMOVE BRASS PLUG IN CENTER AND
INSTALL THE PRESSURE GAUGE. USE A LIGHT WRAPPING OF THREAD TAPE TO PREVENT
LEAKING AROUND THE PRESSURE GAUGE THREADS IF NECESSARY. USE THREAD TAPE
SPARINGLY TO PREVENT SOLENOID LEAKS AND CLOGGING.
Use with compressors capable of a minimum of 5.3 cfm
at 90 psi and with at least 25 gallon tank or larger.
Caution:
Do not exceed 90 psi supply pressure from air compressor!
