Replace them eat time you reassemble a cutting torch. Cleaning Parts Coniaet your local chemical supplier for recommended cleaning solvents applicable to the metals used in this product. Always. tuse cleaning solvents in accordance with the manufacture instructions. DO NOT allow nonmetal components to contact cleaning solvents! Cleaning solvents cause elas- tomeric and plastic parts to swell and stress crack. If these parts require cleaning, use a mild soap solution, followed by a thorough rinsing in water. Dry these parts completely before installing. REPLACE NONMETAL PARTS THAT HAVE COME IN CONTACT WITH OIL, GREASE OR ANY OTHER PETROLEUM-BASED SUBSTANCE! Petroleum-based substances become dangerously flammable in the presence of oxygen.
