Where you keep system components
If you keep consumable parts and torch assemblies in cutting areas or locations that are not
clean, they will collect dirt and metal dust that can cause these problems:
- Contamination of unsealed O-rings and seals on the torch heads and torch receptacles
- Decreased life of torch heads and torch receptacles
- Decreased life of the coolant pump
- Unsatisfactory operation of the coolant-flow switch.
Note:
It can help to flush the coolant system or clean the coolant-flow switch. If necessary, replace the coolant-flow switch to fully repair the coolant system.
The best solution is to keep consumable parts and torch assemblies in a clean location away from dirt and metal dust. Another solution is to use compressed air to clean consumable parts and torch assemblies before you use them.
If the storage location for your consumable parts and torch assemblies is not clean, replace these components more frequently:
