Torch Breakaway Assembly
The torch breakaway (229164) should be mounted to the lifter as shown in Figure 10.
CAUTION: The breakaway uses extremely strong magnets to clamp the two halves of the
breakaway unit together. Use extra care when you mate 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. Use
care to avoid pinching your fingers between the two halves. After installation, it is almost impossible to
separate the two halves without the leverage of the mounting block and torch.
