Installation of the gas line
Position the propane cylinder near the HFP on the side of the track.
Make sure the cylinder is stable before removing the protective cap from the valve.
Do not produce sparks, do not present a flame and do not smoke during this phase!
Take the regulator and gas line hose assembly.
Examine the condition of each item thoroughly for:
- the regulator must not have any trace of shock or damage,
- the pressure gauge must be in good condition, the glass not broken and the case not distorted (do not touch the
setting),
- the hose must not be split, cracked or cut,
- the connections at both ends of the pipe must be properly tightened,
Remove the bleed hose from the retaining spring clip.
Connect the end of the gas line hose to the HFP fitting.
Clip the hose into the retaining spring clip.
Propane hose connected
Connect the regulator to the propane cylinder. The cylinder must remain vertical at all times during the welding
operation. Tighten the screwed connection of the regulator on the propane cylinder very moderately (not to the left).
Open the cylinder valve a quarter turn and listen and / or feel for any leaks at the connection.
