Good alignment keeps twisted connections to a minimum. Twisted
connections can cause gas or coolant restrictions that decrease the
life of the consumables or cause bad cut quality.
5. Connect the connectors in the torch-lead assembly and the torch receptacle:
a. Connect the pilot arc.
Keep this connection loose for now. You can fully tighten it after the coolant-return hose
installation is complete. If you fully tighten it before the coolant-return, other connections will be
difficult. Use your fingers to tighten the connection, do not use tools.
b. Connect the ohmic cable.
Keep this connection loose for now. You can fully tighten it after the coolant-return hose
installation is complete. If you fully tighten it before the coolant-return, other connections will be
difficult. Use your fingers to tighten the connection, do not use tools.
c. Install the coolant-return hose and use two wrenches to tighten the nut to 16.3 N∙m –19.0 N∙m
(144 lbf∙in – 168 lbf∙in).
