TORCH DISCONNECTION AND STORAGE
1. Be sure the LP gas cylinder valve is turned completely off (clockwise).
2. Disconnect the QCC-1 Acme Tank Connector from the LP gas cylinder.
3. Replace the plastic cover on the LP gas cylinder valve outlet.
4. NEVER attempt to store the torch while it is hot. When the torch is stored
indoors or in a garage or shed, it must be disconnected from the tank in
accordance with Chapter 5 of ANSI/NFPA 58.
5. Store the torch and hose in a clean, dry and protected area.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem #1 - The QCC-1 tank connector will not thread on to the LP gas
cylinder valve or doesn’t seal.
Possible Solutions:
1. Propane cylinders manufactured after 2002 have an OPD valve with both
internal and external threads. Make sure you are tightening the QCC-1
valve all the way. Older cylinders may not seal correctly.
2. Check the threads in the LP gas cylinder valve. They might be damaged.
3. If this still doesn’t fix it, your QCC-1 Acme Tank Connector might be
defective. Contact KDAR Company for a replacement QCC-1 Acme Tank
Connector (Model 24218).
Problem #2 - I found a gas leak during my assembly.
Possible Solutions:
1. If the gas is leaking around the LP gas cylinder valve, see Problem #1
above.
2. If the gas leak is near the Idle Boost valve, try tightening the female hose
adapter with a wrench to seal the leak.
3. If the hose is leaking either with a hole in the hose or around the brass fer-
rules, then the hose needs to be replaced. Contact KDAR Company for a
replacement hose (Model 24212).
