2 Attach the hoses.
After connecting the gas hoses, tighten the nuts on the fittings. See
Figure 59 to correctly identify the gas hoses. To connect the gas hoses to the
torch, complete the following steps:
a Attach the sample transfer tube (connector tube).
Connect the sample transfer tube from the spray chamber to the fitting
on the end of the torch.
b Attach the auxiliary gas hose.
Connect the auxiliary- gas hose, which is smaller in diameter than the
plasma gas hose.
c Attach the plasma gas hose.
Connect the plasma gas hose to the remaining gas fitting on the torch.
3 Close the torch box and instrument.
Close the torch cover and tighten its thumbscrew. Close the instrument
hood.
CAUTION
Do not over-tighten the nuts on the quick-connect clamps. If you apply too much
pressure, the torch will break.
CAUTION
The torch cover must be on while using the torch. This cover reduces the emission of
noise from the plasma.
