Install the torch body
1. Use a small strip of electrical tape to temporarily secure the very ends of the pilot arc wire and cap-sensor wires to
the gas tube.
2. Slide the extension tube over the torch body and up to the torch head.
3. Are you reinstalling the existing torch body or replacing the torch body with a new one?
 If you are reinstalling an existing torch body, clean the conical surface of the gas tube fitting to remove any
dried or loose threadlocker. Apply a fresh drop of threadlocker to the threads of the gas tube fitting on the torch
body.
 If you are installing a new torch body, be careful not to get any threadlocker on the conical surface of the gas
tube fitting to prevent damage to the torch. Apply a drop of threadlocker, included in the kit, to the threads of the
gas tube fitting on the new torch body.

The drop should not be wider than 2 threads in diameter.

CAUTION!
Do not get any threadlocker on the conical surface of the gas tube fitting to avoid causing damage
to the torch. If any threadlocker does get on this surface, clean it off immediately.
