SO NOW WHAT?SO NOW WHAT?
We are here to help you Purpose of this presentation is to answer
any questions you have What are your top questions? At a minimum you need to change your
tips, regulators and use T grade hoses Let’s learn more…

CHANGE IS GOODCHANGE IS GOOD Time is right to make the change to alternate
fuel Harris is ready to help with the right
equipment and technical know how Harris has been making alternate fuel
equipment for over 105 years Once you learn the benefits of our injector
technology you’ll be ready to make the change
3
ALTERNATE FUELS SAVE MONEYALTERNATE FUELS SAVE MONEY
Savings up to 40% versus Acetylene
More BTU’s per dollar Lower cylinder handling costs Lower cylinder rental charges Equipment will last longer

SAVE WITH ALTERNATE FUELSSAVE WITH ALTERNATE FUELS
Acetylene
Alternate Fuel
5
ALTERNATE FUELS PERFORMALTERNATE FUELS PERFORM
More BTU’s per cubic foot Less chipping and grinding Less top edge roll-over Very broad flame adjustment
range Less hardening of cut face
6
ALTERNATE FUELS ARE CONVENIENTALTERNATE FUELS ARE CONVENIENT
More product per cylinderLess weight per cylinderFewer cylinder changes80% less floor space neededReadily available
7
ALTERNATE FUELS ARE SAFEALTERNATE FUELS ARE SAFE
Highly resistant to flashback and backfire
Can be used at higher pressures Less U.V. protection required Not sensitive to shock
8
NOT ALL TORCHES ARE CREATED EQUALNOT ALL TORCHES ARE CREATED EQUAL Harris alternate fuel torches use injector mixers You get reduced pre-heat times and more BTU’s Injector mixers create a homogenous blend This blend allows for greater combustion efficiency
Equal pressure torches will never achieve this performance especially if you only change out the tip

“F” Injector Technology
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TORCHESTHE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TORCHES
“E” Equal Pressure
With an injector torch you only need to adjust the
oxygen valve to increase/decrease flame intensity
10
DID YOU KNOW?DID YOU KNOW?
Alternate fuels cut much better than acetylene when you have the right equipment
Remember, the oxygen does the cutting, not the fuel gas
11
GET THE RIGHT TORCHGET THE RIGHT TORCH
Be sure you have an injector style torch Harris model 62-5F works best Take advantage of the benefits of
alternate fuels Pick the torch that meets your needs

GET THE RIGHT TIPGET THE RIGHT TIP
Pick the right tip for optimum performance
All tips are not created equal Every Harris tip is tested 100% for
quality Our two-piece 6290 tips are specifically
designed for the alternate fuel of your choice

LIGHTING AN INJECTOR “F”TORCHLIGHTING AN INJECTOR “F”TORCH1. Purge both oxygen and fuel gas lines – separately and
reclose valves
2. Open oxygen & fuel gas valves 1/3 - 1/2 turn
3. Ignite flame with approved lighter
4. Increase fuel gas flow until flame is slightly carburizing
5. Open oxygen valve and adjust to obtain the desired flame
6. For optimum cutting – focus on a star pattern & sound
7. Depress oxygen lever and make adjustments if necessary

SHUTTING DOWN AN INJECTOR TORCHSHUTTING DOWN AN INJECTOR TORCH
1. Close fuel gas torch valve
2. Close oxygen torch valve
3. Close down system (cylinders):1.Close oxygen & fuel gas cylinder valves
2.Separately purge oxygen & fuel gas lines
then close valves Make sure all regulator gauges read “0” Back out regulator P/A screws! Report any damage, etc. to Supervisor
21
LIGHTING AN EQUAL PRESSURE“E”TORCHLIGHTING AN EQUAL PRESSURE“E”TORCH
1. Purge both oxygen and fuel gas lines – separately and reclose valves
2. Open fuel gas valve 1/8 to 1/4 turn
3. Ignite flame with an approved lighter
Note: Refer to AWS C4.2
1. Increase fuel gas flow until flame leaves end of tip
2. Decrease until flame goes back to tip
3. Open oxygen valve and adjust to neutral flame
4. For optimum cutting – focus on a star pattern & sound
5. Depress oxygen lever and make adjustments if necessary

SHUTTING DOWN AN “E” TORCHSHUTTING DOWN AN “E” TORCH
1. Close oxygen torch valve2. Close fuel gas torch valve3. Note: To close down system (cylinders). Close oxygen & fuel gas cylinder valves Separately bleed oxygen & fuel gas lines Close each valve after purging Make sure all regulator gauges read “0” Back out regulator P/A screws! Report any damage, etc. to Supervisor
