Torch Breakaway Assembly
The torch breakaway (MECO-0234) should be mounted to the lifter as shown in
figure below.
CAUTION: The breakaway uses extremely strong magnets to clamp the
two halves of the breakaway unit together. Extra care should be used when
mating the two halves of the breakaway.
Hold the breakaway at a 45 degree angle to the mounting plate and carefully
place the lower alignment pin into the mating depression on the breakaway back
plate. Slowly angle the breakaway toward the back plate, being careful not to get
your fingers pinched between the two halves. Once installed, it will be nearly
impossible to separate the two halves without the leverage provided by the
mounting block and torch.
WARNING!
