Torch Use Point torch at what you want to heat and pull Turbo Blast Trigger to intensify the size of the flame (see Figure 7). Release trigger to bring flame back to minimal level. NOTE: If you have the torch gas valve open too high, when you pull the Turbo Blast Trigger, the flame will tend to “blow out” and require reignition. On the WT5500, there is an adjustable brass knob used to limit the distance the Turbo Blast Trigger can move. Turn the valve clockwise for a smaller flame. Turn it counterclockwise for a larger flame. (As a safety precaution, these units Figure 7 - Pulling trigger for flame turbo blast (WT4500 shown, WT5500 similar) are equipped with an excess-flow check valve that shuts off the gas in the event of a damaged or severed hose. If you allow the flame to grow too large, the excess-flow check valve will automatically shut off gas flow to the torch.) To extinguish the flame, close the torch gas flow valve and propane cylinder valve. Make certain that torch is completely cooled before storing. The torch nozzle will be very hot. Do not touch it or rest it on anything that can be damaged by heat. Maintenance Prior to each use: 1. Inspect all components of the device for damage and or wear. If the hose shows !
