Important Safety Information
WARNING
DO NOT USE AROUND FLAMMABLE MATERIALS. Misuse
of the burner can cause an explosion or fire and result in
burns and property damage.
DO NOT USE FUEL OTHER THAN THE ONE SPECIFIED
ON THE LABEL AND NOZZLE. Use with an improper fuel
may cause dangerous operation. See the “Gas Conversion”
section for operation with other gases.
DO NOT USE THE BURNER WITH ACETYLENE.
CONNECT THE BURNER TO THE GAS SUPPLY WITH A
HOSE APPROVED FOR THE GAS USED AND A SHUTOFF
FOR THE GAS. Verify the ON-OFF Platform is in the inter-
mittent (OFF) position before turning on the gas supply to the burner.
USE A GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR WHEN USING THE BURNER FOR PROPANE
OR BUTANE. Pressure regulators, not supplied with the burner, must be connected
between the gas supply and the burner. Without the regulator, the flame size cannot
be controlled.
DO NOT LEAVE THE BURNER ON WHILE IT IS UNATTENDED. This includes the
Pilot Light. If the Pilot Light or flame goes out, gas will accumulate and may create an
explosion hazard.
KEEP ALERT FOR THE SMELL OF GAS WHEN THE BURNER IS USED. Do not oper-
ate the burner if parts are missing or the unit has been damaged. If Touch-O-Matic
®
is dropped, check it carefully for cracks or other damage. Be alert for any improper
operation. Return the unit to Whip Mix for examination and repair if any problem is
encountered.
DO NOT USE THE NEEDLE VALVE AS AN ON/OFF VALVE. Turn the burner off by
shutting off the gas supply valve. The Needle Valve does not control gas to the Pilot
Light.
DO NOT TAMPER WITH SCREWS (4) LOCATED INSIDE VALVE HOUSING.
IF PROPANE IS USED, DO NOT STORE PROPANE TANKS INDOORS.
