Assembly Insructions:
Unpack all the components and inspect for any damage. If any damage is
discovered contact the delivery service or Western Enterprises immediately.
Hose to torch
With the wrenches provided, assemble gas line to
torch handle. Use one wrench to hold torch fitting so
it does not turn in the torch handle. Use the other
wrench to tighten gas hose fitting onto handle fitting.
Turn counterclockwise to tighten. (See Figure 2.)
NOTE: This is a left-handed thread connection.

Connection to the Supply Tank:
NOTE:
•
The LP (Liquid Petroleum) gas tank used with this device should be no
less than a 20 lb. capacity. It should also meet or exceed NFPA 58
“Standard for the Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases”.
1. Inspect the nut/nipple (excess shut-off valve) connection of the hose
assembly. Check for any dents or damage. The o-ring must be present.
If damage is found or the o-ring is missing call Western for the proper
replacement parts.
2. Connect the hose fitting to the shut-off valve of LP gas tank and tighten
countertclockwise.
NOTE: This is a left-handed thread connection. (See Figures 3 and 4.)

•
This device is designed for vapor withdrawal from LP gas tank(s) ONLY.
Use of any other gas may result in device failure or personal injury.
Leak Test:
1) Be sure the torch gas valve is closed tightly -
turn tight clockwise (see figure 5.)
2) Slowly open the supply tank shut-off valve.
3) Test all connections for possible gas leaks
using leak test solution. (Western #LT-100
leak test solution will dry “clean” and will not
harm components.)
4) Verify that the torch assembly is property tightened.
(The device should not swivel). If the nozzle or stem should rotate, tighten the
connection by the Turbo Blast Trigger until secure.
5) If a leak occurs at:
• Torch-gas valve:
•
Close supply tank shut-off valve, bleed off gas, and retighten connection
counterclockwise.
• Contact Western for the proper replacement parts.
• Torch-hose connection:
• Close supply tank shut-off valve, bleed off gas, and retighten connection
counterclockwise.
• Slowly open supply tank shut-off valve and retest connection.
• Repeat if necessary. (If leakage continues, inspect components for damage.)
• Supply tank shut-off valve:
• Close supply tank shut-off valve, bleed off gas, and retighten connection
counterclockwise.
• Slowly open supply tank shut-off valve and retest connection.
• Torch Assembly: (stem to Turbo Blast Trigger.)
• Close supply tank shut-off valve, bleed off gas, and retighten connection
clockwise.
• Repeat if necessary. (If leakage continues inspect components for damage.)
•
••
•
DO NOT operate if any leaks are present. A leak may create a fire hazard.
• DO NOT smoke around or expose supply tank(s) to open flames or sparks.
• DO NOT apply heat or flame to tank to check for leaks. Excess heat may cause
the supply tank to rupture possibly causing personal injury.
