Torch Body Removal and Replacement
WARNING
1. Loosen the worm gear hose clamp so that the torch sleeving can be freed and pulled back up the cable
bundle. Approximately 7" (177.8mm) should be far enough. Unscrew the torch sleeve and slide it back until
the pilot arc connection is exposed.

2. Disconnect the power cables which are threaded onto the shorter stems at the back of the torch. Note that
one of these connections is left-handed. Unscrew the gas hoses from the torch head assembly by using a
7/16" (11.1mm) and a 1/2" (12.7mm) wrench. Removal of the gas hoses is easier if the power cables are re-
moved first.
