■
Use only the L.B. White regulator supplied with the
torch.
■
The model 161-D torch must be regulated at all times
for proper operation.
■
The regulator must be installed so its vent is directed
downward.
■
Regardless of torch model, leak check all connections
whenever the torch is connected to the gas supply.
1.
Both torches are supplied with a male nut and stem
called a POL. Remove the cap from the POL. Insert
POL stem into the valve on the propane gas supply.
Thread the nut counterclockwise into the propane
supply valve. Tighten the nut securely with a wrench.
See Fig. 4.
2.
Slowly open the tank valve. This will prevent lock-up
of the excess flow valve within POL stem.
3.
Check all connections with approved leak detector.
Do not use flame to check for leaks. A fire or
explosion may result.
4.
When storing or transporting the torch, ensure the
POL is protected from damage and dirt entry.
