ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Bowl Draining and Filter Element Cleaning
Moisture in the torch can cause the torch to sputter and hiss. If moisture is present, purge the gas
lines. If moisture builds up in the bowl of the filter, drain the bowl and clean the filter element:
1. Shut off the gas supply and disconnect the gas supply hose from the filter assembly before
proceeding.
2. Remove the cap at the bottom of the filter bowl and turn the knurled drain valve to the right to
release water from the bowl.
3. Unscrew the filter bowl.
4. Unscrew the filter element.
5. Clean the filter element with alcohol, then blow it out with air.
Clean the bowl with household soap only.
6. Replace the filter element and filter bowl.
7. Reconnect the gas supply hose.
