SECTION 5:
MAINTENANCE
Contact tps and nozzles should be cleaned frequently. Spatter
buldup may cause brdgng between nozzle and tp. Ths
could cause electrcal shortng between the nozzle and work
pece as well as restrctng gas flow.
Regularly nspect the conductor tube, torch and cable
assembly for abrasons, cuts, and undue wear. Replace or
repar any parts as needed. The torch and conductor tube assembles have o-rngs for
seals. Lubrcaton of these o-rngs should be done perodcally
and perodcal nspectons should be made to ensure that the
o-rngs do not de-grade, allowng water and/or sheldng gas
leaks to occur. When removng the conductor tube from the
torch assembly, be sure the sngle o-rng located n the bottom
of the hole remans n place.
