2. Optional Two-Stage Air Filter Kit
This optional two-stage air line filter is also for use on
compressed air shop systems. Filter removes moisture
and contaminants to at least 5 microns.
Connect the gas supply as follows:
a. Attach the Two Stage Filter to the back of the
power supply per instructions supplied with
the filter assembly.
NOTE
For a secure seal, apply thread sealant to the barbed
fitting threads according to manufacturer's in-
structions. Do Not use Teflon tape as a thread sealer
as small particles of the tape may break off and block
the small gas passages in the torch.
b. Install the two stage filter hose in the inlet port
of the Regulator/Filter Assembly, as shown be-
low.
c. Connect the gas line to the optional filter. A
typical installation using a barbed fitting is il-
lustrated; other fittings may be used.
d. Attach the gas supply hose to the Two-Stage
Filter Assembly.

E. Using High Pressure Gas Cylinders
Refer to the following when using high pressure gas cyl-
inders as the gas supply:
CAUTION
Pressure should be set at 100 psi (6.9 bar) at the
high pressure gas cylinder regulator.
1. Refer to the manufacturer’s specifications for in-
stallation and maintenance procedures for high
pressure gas regulators.
2. Examine the cylinder valves to be sure they are
clean and free of oil, grease or any foreign mate-
rial. Momentarily open each cylinder valve to
blow out any dust which may be present.
3. The cylinder must be equipped with an adjustable
high-pressure regulator capable of outlet pressures
and flows as follows:
