45- degree angle between the bottom of the lighter cup and the axis of the burner as
illustrated. Then open torch unit valve slightly and immediately actuate lighter.
2. After flame has been lit, adjust torch unit valve, if necessary, to secure desired flame.

the unit so that the flame points downward. CAUTION: Prolonged operation of the unit
in an inverted position may cause the flame to flare and suddenly elongate.
