Installing gas bottle and testing gas flow

Handle gas bottles with care. There is a risk of injury if the gas bottle or the bottle valve is damaged!
Always secure the gas bottle properly in an upright position to a special holder on the wall or on the welding equipment cart. Always keep the gas bottle valve closed when not welding.

- If a cart with a gas bottle rack is used, install the gas bottle on the cart first, then make the connections.

- The maximum recommended size of the gas bottle to be installed on the T22M cart is 20 liters.

- Install the welding torch to the power source before installing and testing the gas bottle.

Contact your local Kemppi dealer for choosing the gas and the equipment.
