How To Use An Oxyturbo Turbo Set 90 Lead Welding Kit

Read our handy guide below for instructions on how to set up, use, maintain and store an Oxyturbo Turbo Set 90 lead welding kit

The instructions below include important safety guidelines which must be followed when using these kits.

Fit the two cylinder brackets onto the trolley for bottles in correspondence with the relevant cylinder of the gas cartridge.
Insert the cylinders into their housing passing the valves through the hole in the brackets.
Lock the brackets by manually tightening the wing nuts on the screws.
Make sure that the knobs on the Mignon reducers and on the gas tap and on the torch are closed. (Mignon: rotate towards the - symbol; for gas tap: turn towards the + symbol).
Manually tighten the oxygen and gas reducers and the gas tap on the relative cylinders and cartridge without forcing excessively, making sure there are no leaks.

PLEASE NOTE

Cylinder replacement and insertion operations must always be performed in a well ventilated area, preferably outdoors, away from flammable materials or substances and incandescent heat sources (such as naked flames, lit cigarettes, hot plates, etc.) and away from persons, children and animals.
Make sure the cylinder is empty before replacing it. Do not be fooled by weight of the oxygen cylinder, which is similar even when the cylinder is empty.
Do not use the Turbo Set if there is evidence of damage to cylinder, cartridges, reducers, taps, pipes or handgrip.
Do not use the kit if the sealing gaskets are damaged or have been lost.

Make sure the adjusting knobs of the torch are closed.
Open the oxygen pressure reducer Mignon and the gas Mignon/valve.
Open the adjusting knob for gas on the torch.
Use the included lighter, to ignite the gas, paying attention to the flame stuck to the soldering nozzle. If the flame tends to come off the nozzle, close a little the gas valve.
Open the adjusting knob for oxygen on the torch to obtain a sparkling flame.
Adjust the flame operating on the adjusting knobs to a blue dart shaped flame.
