Edge Ti™ 513
Torch Breakaway Assembly
The torch breakaway (MECO-0234) should be mounted to the lifter as shown in figure below.
CAUTION : The breakaway uses extremely strong magnets to clamp the two halves of
the breakaway unit together. Extra care should be used when mating the two halves of the
breakaway
.
Hold the breakaway at a 45 degree angle to the mounting plate and carefully place the lower
alignment pin into the mating depression on the breakaway back plate. Slowly angle the breakaway
toward the back plate, being careful not to get your fingers pinched between the two halves. Once
installed, it will be nearly impossible to separate the two halves without the leverage provided by the
mounting block and torch.
WARNING!
Pinch Point: Use
