ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Unpack and inspect for damage. DO NOT use torch or hose if damaged.
2. Attach the hose to the Idle Boost Valve and tighten with two wrenches.
Do not use molded handle to tighten - it will break. Do not over tighten nut.
3. Attach QCC-1 tank connector to LP gas cylinder valve with OPD approved
valves. DO NOT USE THREAD COMPOUND! Remember, LP gas
cylinder is to be no less than 10 LB. capacity.
4. Make sure the knob on the flame adjusting valve is closed (all the way clock-
wise) and slowly open the LP gas cylinder valve. Check all LP gas connec-
tions for leaks using a leak detection fluid or soapy water. DO NOT
attempt to operate the torch if there is any odor of gas.

IMPORTANT NOTE!!! The QCC-1 tank connector includes an internal POL safety
valve (integral flow-check valve). Opening the LP gas cylinder valve rapidly can
cause the valve to check and restrict the flow of gas. If the POL flow valve checks,
close the LP gas cylinder valve, open the flame adjusting valve on the handle to
release any pressure in the hose, reclose the flame adjusting valve on the torch han-
dle, wait 20 seconds, and then slowly open the LP Gas cylinder valve. If NO leaks
are found, proceed with lighting the torch.
2. Check all connections for leaks with leak detection fluid or soapy water. Leaks will
be indicated by bubbles forming around the source. Repair all leaks and test again
before lighting the torch.
3. Open the flame adjusting valve 2-3 turns until the sound of propane gas escaping is
heard.
4. Quickly using a flint lighter or other long handle igniting source (NO MATCHES
OR CIGARETTE LIGHTERS) ignite the torch. Make sure there is only a mini-
mum amount of gas before lighting. If you do not get the torch ignited quickly,
turn off the flame adjusting valve to stop the flow of gas and wait several minutes
for the propane gas to disperse. You may then return to step 2 above.
5. Adjust the flame using the flame adjusting valve on the torch handle to the desired
size of flame and heat.
Note: Regardless of where the flame adjusting valve is set, depressing the idle boost
valve will bypass the flame adjusting valve and provide full flow of propane to the
torch so that the torch will burn at maximum output.
TORCH SHUT OFF INSTRUCTIONS
1. Close the LP gas cylinder valve.
2. Allow the gas to completely burn out. After the flame is no longer burning, turn the
flame adjusting valve to the closed or OFF position (clockwise).
3. Be careful as the torch head is very hot and takes a long time to cool off.
4. If you are done using the torch for the day, follow the torch disconnection and
storage procedures in the next section.
