ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Bowl Draining and Filter Element Cleaning
Moisture coming out of the torch can cause the torch to sputter and hiss. If there is moisture, purge
the lines. If moisture builds up in the bowl of the filter at the rear of the power supply, drain the bowl
and clean the filter element:
1. Shut off the gas supply and disconnect the gas supply hose from the filter assembly before
proceeding.
2. Remove the cap at the bottom of the filter bowl and turn the knurled drain valve to the right to
release water from the bowl.
3. Unscrew the filter bowl.
4. Unscrew the filter element. See
Powermax900 Field Upgrade Kits and Optional Parts later in
this section for part number information.
5. Clean the filter element with alcohol, then blow it out with air from the inside of the filter element.
Clean the bowl with household soap only.
6. Replace the filter element and filter bowl.
7. Reconnect the gas supply hose.
