. Clean the inside of each hose by slowly opening the cylinder valve to 34.4 kPa (5 PSI) (0.34 bar).
Allow the gas to flow for 10 seconds to expel any debris from the inside of the hose and close the valve.
Repeat the procedure with the other hose. The valve of the acetylene cylinder must not be turned more
than one turn when opening it.
7
. Connect the hoses to the corresponding holes in the torch. Tighten the couplings firmly with a wrench.
8
. Connect the welding nozzle or
cutting torch to the torch.
9
. Apply soap solution to all
connections to detect possible leaks.
Open valves on both cylinders and
correct any leaks by tightening
connections. If leakage persists, stop
work and contact your supplier.

• Make sure you are in a place free of flames and sparks
when preparing the equipment.
• Before making connections, be sure to remove any dust or
dirt particles from the outlet valves of both cylinders. Stand to one side of the
tank and open the valve (
A
) for two seconds to expel any particles that may
enter the system causing damage or accidents.
• If you detect grease or oil, do not use the cylinder at all and
contact the manufacturer or distributor of the cylinder.
1
. Vertical or secured cylinders.
2
. Gauges connected to the corresponding gas. Use a
wrench for a firm connection. Be sure to tighten them in
the correct direction: usually clockwise for oxygen,
counterclockwise for acetylene.
3
. It is recommended to use check valves connected to
the gauges.
4
. Hoses connected to the valves. Green is for oxygen and
red is for acetylene. Tighten the couplings firmly with a
wrench. If you detect any signs of grease or oil, stop use
immediately.
5
. Fully open the gauge handles by turning them
counterclockwise. If you do not do this,
the pressure in the cylinder may damage the gauges.
