SM-QRTORCH MAINTENANCE
SECTION 6:
MAINTENANCE
Contact tips and nozzles should be cleaned frequently. Spatter
buildup may cause bridging between nozzle and tip. This
could cause electrical shorting between the nozzle and work
piece as well as restricting gas flow.
Regularly inspect the conductor tube, torch and cable
assembly for abrasions, cuts and undue wear. Replace or
repair any parts as needed. The torch and conductor tube assemblies have o-rings for
seals. Lubrication of these o-rings should be done periodically
and periodical inspections should be made to ensure that the
o-rings do not degrade, allowing water and or shielding gas
leaks to occur. When removing the conductor tube from the
torch assembly, be sure the single o-ring located in the bottom
of the hole remains in place.
