Set-up for Cheetah torch? anyone?

[Tutti-frutti]

Got a used Cheetah on the garage sale, came with no instructions so I could use a little help.
What does the blue valve on top do?
No model or name on the torch anywhere?
Damm do I even own a cheetah?

If it has twelve ports and looks like a gtt torch then it's a cheetah. The blue know on top is the extra oxy valve. It focuses the flame or tightens it for detail work. I always keep it cracked a bit. Remember if you have glowing carbon bits on the face then you're not running enough oxy. BAD... Wipe em' off and turn up the oxy! Good luck!

Thanks, I went to look at GGT's website and all of the torches have the 2 skinny hoses leading into larger hoses, do you ever change that.

If the hoses from the torch are in good shape no need to change them. Just hook your hoses up to the barbs and screw clamp tight! Enjoy the torch!

If you didn't get any cleaning wires with it, I suggest you call Frantz Glass and order some. They are the tiniest holes I have ever tried to clean. You WILL need these special cleaning wires.

Thank's again.
Good to know about the cleaner wires.

I'll look to see if I have some Cheetah instructions around here. I can scan them and send you a PDF file if I do.
