Assembly

GAS LINE TO TORCH

With the wrenches provided, assemble gas line to torch handle. Use one wrench to hold torch fitting so it does not turn in the torch handle. Use the other wrench to tighten gas hose fitting onto handle fitting. The gas fitting uses a left-handed thread. Turn counterclockwise to tighten. (See Figure 2.)

GAS LINE TO CYLINDER

Insert hose fitting into gas cylinder valve and turn counterclockwise to tighten. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the fitting. (See Figures 3 and 4.)

Lighting Instructions
