Exchanging the bottles and the gas cartridges

5.1

Exchanging the oxygen bottle

Close the oxygen bottle (2) valve by turning it to the right.
Screw off the oxygen pressure regulator (3) by turning it counter-clockwise using a suitable
spanner (spanner width 32).
Remove the oxygen bottle from its holder and unscrew the protective cap. Now replace the
empty bottle by a full one and fasten it to the frame.
Ensure that the gasket in the oxygen pressure regulator is present and intact.
In so doing, make sure that the connections are free of oil and grease.
Remove the protective cap on the full bottle and screw the oxygen pressure regulator in a
clockwise direction onto the oxygen bottle. Use a suitable spanner to tighten it down.

Exchanging the acetylene bottle

Close the acetylene bottle (1) valve by turning it to the right.
Screw off the acetylene pressure regulator (4) by turning it counter-clockwise.
Remove the acetylene bottle from its holder and unscrew the protective cap. Now replace
the empty acetylene bottle by a full one and fasten it to the frame.
In so doing, make sure that the connections are free of oil and grease.
Remove the protective cap on the full bottle and screw the acetylene pressure regulator in a
clockwise direction onto the acetylene bottle.

Malfunctions and maintenance

Problem
The flame turns yellow
The flame gets smaller or
lifts off the burner.
Regularly check the hoses for cuts and leaks (visual inspection). Replace the hose
package with its single-tank fuse if the single-tank fuse has triggered after a flashback.
Hoses become porous with time. Therefore, replace the hose package as soon as small
cuts appear on the hoses.
Cause / Solution
Either the oxygen bottle valve is closed, or it is not open wide
enough or the oxygen bottle is empty. Open the oxygen tank
valve. Replace the empty oxygen tank with a full one.
Either the acetylene bottle valve is closed, or it is not open
wide enough or the acetylene bottle is empty. Open the acety-
lene valve by turning it (farther) left, or replace the acetylene
tank.
