TORCH CONTINUITY AND SOLENOID TEST
(continued)
4. If any of the resistance checks are not cor-
rect, the torch assembly may be faulty.
Repair or replace.
5. Carefully apply the 12 VDC supply to the
electrode solenoid. (positive to Pin 2 and
negative to Pin 3). The electrode solenoid
should activate. Listen for the solenoid
action in the torch handle. If the solenoid
does not activate, it may be faulty. Replace.
