Connection of regulator / hose-failure valve to gas cylinder
Connect the inlet thread (cylinder connection) to a suitable gas cylinder and the outlet thread (hose
connection) direct to the hose nut connection or by a hose-failure valve. All connections have a
left-handed thread (notch in nut) and must be tightened with a suitable spanner.
Leakage check
Check for leakage every time when connected to the gas cylinder. Close the control knob of any
connected appliance. Open the gas cylinder valve slowly and brush or spray the connections with
leakspray or a soapy solution (detergent + water or the like). Look for leaks which will occur as bubbles.
If bubbles occur, close the gas cylinder valve and check that all washers are undamaged and in place.
Also check tightness of connections. If this does not help, contact your authorised dealer. NOTE! Never
search for a leak with an open flame. No smoking!
Hose-failure valves
A hose-failure valve automatically shuts off the gas in the event of hose fracture, major leakage or if gas
withdrawal from the cylinder is too high. Use of a hose-failure valve gives a considerably added safety
against accidents. If the hose-failure valve has closed, the cylinder valve must be closed and eventual
damage repaired. To re-set the valve, open the gas cylinder valve and depress the re-set button on the
hose-failure valve. Using a too long gas hose may impair the function of the hose-failure valve. Maximum
length of hose with an interior diameter of 5 mm (3/16") is 8 metres (26 feet) and with a hose with a
interior diameter of 8 mm (5/16") is 16 metres (52 feet).
Lighting, regulating and extinguishing
The size of the flame is regulated with the regulating knob. When the knob is opened, the air present in
the hose will escape first so that it will take a few seconds before the burner can be lit, particularly in the
case of the smaller burners. Extinguishing by closing the regulating knob. In the event of a
b urn-back shut off the torch and re-ignite. Make sure that the area of work is well ventilated when use of
the appliances. Important for performance and safety!
