NOTE
Refer to Previous "Section 5 System" for common
and fault indicator descriptions.
Cleaning Torch
Even if precautions are taken to use only clean air
with a torch, eventually the inside of the torch be-
comes coated with residue. This buildup can affect
the pilot arc initiation and the overall cut quality of
the torch.
WARNINGS
Disconnect primary power to the system before
disassembling the torch or torch leads.
DO NOT touch any internal torch parts while the
AC indicator light of the Power Supply is ON.
The inside of the torch should be cleaned with electri-
cal contact cleaner using a cotton swab or soft wet
rag. In severe cases, the torch can be removed from
the leads and cleaned more thoroughly by pouring
electrical contact cleaner into the torch and blowing
it through with compressed air.
CAUTION
Dry the torch thoroughly before reinstalling.
O-Ring Lubrication
An o-ring on the Torch ATC Male Connector requires
lubrication on a scheduled basis. This will allow the
o-ring to remain pliable and provide a proper seal.
The o-ring will dry out, becoming hard and cracked,
if the o-ring lubricant is not used on a regular basis.
This can lead to potential performance problems.
It is recommended to apply a very light film of o-
ring lubricant (Catalog # 8-4025) to the o-ring on a
weekly basis.
NOTE
DO NOT
use other lubricants or grease, they may
not be designed to operate within high tempera-
tures or may contain “unknown elements” that
may react with the atmosphere. This reaction
can leave contaminants inside the torch. Either
of these conditions can lead to inconsistent per-
formance or poor parts life.
