SECTION 2
INSTALLATION
Follow all safety instructions included in this manual. DO NOT install or attempt
to operate this torch without following these safety instructions.
!
WARNING
BE SURE to install the swirl
baffle in the torch. Failure to
do so would allow the nozzle
(tip) to contact the electrode.
This contact would permit high
voltage to be applied to the
nozzle. Your contact with the
nozzle or workpiece could then
result in serious injury or death
by electric shock.
The PT-31XL torch head con-
tains a gas flow check valve
that acts in conjunction with
the flow switch and circuitry
within the power source. This
system prevents the torch from
being energized with high volt-
age if the torch switch is acci-
dentally closed when the shield
is removed.
ALWAYS RE-
PLACE TORCH WITH THE
PROPER TORCH MANUFAC-
TURED BY ESAB SINCE IT
ALONE CONTAINS ESAB'S
PATENTED SAFETY INTER-
LOCK.
!
WARNING
The seat comes assembled to the front end of the torch. Make sure seat is
tightened firmly with a wrench but do NOT overtighten.

1. To disassemble the front end, hold the torch with the shield in an upright position.
This will prevent the nozzle, electrode, and swirl baffle from falling free when
the shield is removed.
The gas flow check valve is part of the safety interlock and is permanently
assembled in the torch head. The head must be replaced if this valve
malfunctions. The light spring force used to close the ball check can be felt by
pushing on the electrode when assembling the front end components.
2. Periodically check the heat shield, electrode, nozzle, and swirl baffle. Replace
if worn or damaged.
3. Do not continue to use if the electrode end erodes to a length shorter than 16mm
[5/8 in.] as shown in Fugure 2-6 below.
4. Apply a small amount of lubricant P/N 0558000443 (17672), supplied in spare
parts kit, to the heat shield or to the o-ring as shown in Figure 4-3. Check o-
ring for damage whenever the shield is removed. Replace if necessary.
