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…
2
CHANGE 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

ALTERNATE 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
4
SAVE WITH ALTERNATE FUELS
Alternate Fuel
Acetylene
5
ALTERNATE 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 CONVENIENT
More product per cylinder
Less weight per cylinder
Fewer cylinder changes
80% less floor space needed
Readily available
7
ALTERNATE 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 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
9
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TORCHES
“F” Injector Technology
“E” Equal Pressure
With an injector torch you only need to adjust the
oxygen valve to increase/decrease flame intensity
10
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 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 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”TORCH
1. Purge both oxygen and fuel gas lines – separately

and reclose valves
Open oxygen & fuel gas valves 1/3 - 1/2 turn
Ignite flame with approved lighter
Increase fuel gas flow until flame is slightly
carburizing
Open oxygen valve and adjust to obtain the desired
flame
For optimum cutting – focus on a star pattern &
sound
Depress oxygen lever and make adjustments if
necessary

SHUTTING DOWN AN INJECTOR TORCH
1. Close fuel gas torch valve
2. Close oxygen torch valve
3. Close down system (cylinders):
Close oxygen & fuel gas cylinder valves
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”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
Increase fuel gas flow until flame leaves end of tip
Decrease until flame goes back to tip
Open oxygen valve and adjust to neutral flame
For optimum cutting – focus on a star pattern & sound
Depress oxygen lever and make adjustments if necessary
22
SHUTTING DOWN AN “E” TORCH
1. Close oxygen torch valve
2. Close fuel gas torch valve
3. 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
