Install the new torch main body
1. Attach the new torch main body to the torch lead. Use 5/16-inch (8 mm) and 3/8-inch (or adjustable) wrenches to
tighten the nut that secures the gas supply line to the gas supply connection.
2. Attach the power cable to the plunger using the new screw, locknut, and washer that comes with the kit (refer to the
illustration below). Rotate the plunger so the screw does not interfere with the cap-sensor switch.
3. Install the cap sensor switch into the torch main body, using the machine screw removed earlier.
4. Connect the cap-sensor switch connector.
5. Slide the front mounting ring onto the torch body, making sure the chamfered side is positioned down (towards the
torch lead). Install the 3 socket head screws included with the kit.
6. Install the o-ring included with the kit onto the torch body. Apply a thin coat of silicone lube to the o-ring.
7. Slide the positioning sleeve over the torch body and check its alignment with the screw holes. Use the 6 machine
screws included with the kit to attach the sleeve to the mounting rings.
8. Attach the gear rack to the sleeve with the 2 black screws included with the kit.
9. Re-attach the consumables to the torch.
