Installation & Setup
Oxygen & Acetylene Filling
The Mobile Max is shipped with the tanks empty. Therefore, you will have to take the tanks to a local welding
gas supply distributor to have them filled prior to welding. Different welding gas suppliers handle tank filling
differently; some will fill the tanks while you wait while others require a tank exchange. You will need to se-
lect the type of supplier you prefer.
Attaching Regulators and Hoses
1. Secure the Mobile Max to an immovable object
such as a pole or a cart specifically designed to
hold the torch kit.
Note: Although the Mobile Max is intended to
be portable; it is important that the unit be secured
so it will not tip over during setup and operation.
2. Briefly open the oxygen tank valve (1) to remove
any debris that may have accumulated.
3. Wipe the oxygen regulator fitting (2) with a clean
dry cloth and tread the fitting onto the tank valve
and tighten with a wrench. Thread in the regulator
valve lever (3).
4. Using the acetylene tank valve key; briefly open
the acetylene tank valve (4) to remove any debris
that may have accumulated.
5. Wipe the acetylene regulator fitting (5) with a
clean dry cloth and thread the fitting onto the tank
valve and tighten with a wrench. Thread in the reg-
ulator valve lever (3).
6. Using compressed air; blow out the hoses prior to
using them for the first time.
7. Attach the hoses to the regulators; green to the ox-
ygen and red to the acetylene and tighten with a
wrench.
8. Attach the other end of the hose to the appropriate
fittings on the torch handle and tighten with a
wrench.
Note: The acetylene hose has left hand (reverse)
treads and is marked with notches in the fitting (6).
