How to Use HHO Gas Water Hydrogen Welder Polisher

1.Prepare Electrolyte:

Pour 2500cc distilled water (or pure water) into a container made of glass, china or heat-resistant plastic (WARNING: the aluminum container is prohibited). Put 1 bottle of electrolyte powder into water slowly; stir until it is dissolved completely. It generates heat while dissolving, and needs to be cooled for about 20 minutes.

2.Add Electrolyte:

Screw off the top cover, add electrolyte into the generator carefully until the water level approaching the line marked “high”, then screw on the cover. The best water level is between “middle” and “high” lines.

3.Prepare the Gas Filter:

Screw off the gas filter, add pure water and ethanol, and then screw it on. Ethanol (alcohol) is for fire-polishing acryl (organic glass), because the mixture of hydrogen and ethanol volatile can lower the flame temperature. The remaining ethanol should be poured out of the gas filter every day after use.

4.Switch On and Check:

Switch on the power, the indicator light turns bright, the fan begins running and the ammeter indicates around 55A (300-350W), 120A (600W) or 160A (1000W); The gas can be felt out of the outlet (within 1 minute), the barometer indicates 0.01-0.05mpa. If you seal it with a finger, the gas pressure will go up until over 0.1mpa and the ammeter indicates zero; move out the finger, the gas pressure will go down and the ammeter indicates well.

5.Link the Rubber Pipe and Torch, and Ignite:

Link the rubber pipe and torch to the gas outlet. Hold the torch and open the valve on the torch, then ignite and observe the color of flame. The normal color is light blue. The valve can adjust to control the flame. To change a torch, you should turn off the valve to extinguish first.

For fire-polishing acryl, choose a suitable torch, let the flame 45 degree to the coarse surface of acryl and move it parallel. Anyone can use it adroitly after several hours of practice.

6.Add Water Timely:

After several hours of operation, the water level may fall below the “middle” line, and the “fuel”—water should be added. Distilled water is the best choice, and then is purified water, cold boiled water, tap water and mineral water, orderly.

How to add water:

Turn off the torch
Switch off the power and open the valve on the torch to let out the remaining gas
Screw off the top cover
Add water close to the “high” line
Screw on the cover and switch on, and it can work again

MAINTENANCE & WARNING

1)The electrolyte is alkaline and may hurt skin and eyes. Avoid direct contact while preparing electrolyte; let out the remaining gas before adding water to avoid the electrolyte spurting out. If stained on skin or in eye carelessly, wash with lots of water.

2)After the first time of use, only water-the “fuel” need to be added timely. Don’t add electrolyte.

3)Theoretically, the electrolyte can be used permanently. However after about 3 months of operation it will become dirty or over-mixed with ethanol, and should be changed because of losing efficacy. To change electrolyte, open the outlet in the bottom of the generator and drain off the dirty electrolyte, wash the electrolyte case with pure water, then screw on the outlet. Prepare and add new electrolyte. This is to keep the electrolyte case clean, thus avoiding the erosion of electrodes.

4)The water level should not exceed the “high” line, or the liquid in gas filter may overflow, if so, pour out the excessive electrolyte. The best water level is between “middle” and “high” lines.

5)Water in rubber pipe may cause the flame turn red or yellow. If so, take off the torch and check the gas filter to drain the water out of the pipe.

6)Avoid gas leak at the connecting parts. Change the rubber pipe in time if it is aged.

7)The controlling electro circuit of the generator is designed specially. Do not disassemble it.

8)Do not let the flame towards human or combustible.

9)Cold boiled water or tap water can be used as substitute of distilled water, but mineral water is not suitable.

10)If a backfire occurs (even with exploding), do not be panic. The destructive test done by the factory proves the protective design and assures the safety of the operator. Backfire may be caused by improper operation, gas leak, torch malfunction or higher pressure. Check the pipe, add backfire-proof fitting or change a torch may solve the problem. Before that, it’s better to contact the manufacturer for technical consultation.

COMMON PROBLEMS & WAYS TO SOLVE

Problem

Reason

Check and solve

Red / yellow flame

Flame becomes wide & weak

1.Impurities or water in torch

2.Water in rubber pipe

3.Ethanol over-mixed in electrolyte

1.Clean up the torch and burn for a while

2.Blow out the water in the pipe and check the gas filter

3.Change electrolyte

Weak flame, barometer indicates 0.10mpa, ammeter indicates well

Gas clogged

1.Check the rubber pipe

2.Check the gas filter, adjust the spring valve if necessary

3.Check the backfire fitting and torch

Weak flame, barometer indicates low, ammeter indicates well

1.Gas leak

2.Electrolyte losing efficacy

1.Check the gas route

2.Change electrolyte

Barometer and ammeter indicate zero

1.Not electrified or fuse blowout

2.Pressure switch malfunction

3.If the indicate light bright, the electrolyte may lose efficacy

4.Power box malfunction

1.Check the wire and fuse

2.Open the shelf to check

3.Change electrolyte

4.Let the pressure control wire short circuit and check the power box, or contact the manufacturer

With pressure but no current

1.Gas exists in the machine

2.Ammeter malfunction

1.Check the machine

2.Check the circuit, change ammeter if necessary

Pressure higher than 0.2mpa, rubber pipe may be blown off

1.Pressure switch malfunction

2.Safety valve malfunction

Contact the manufacturer if cannot solve

Backfire and explode inside

1.Backfire-proof fitting malfunction

2.Nozzle too big

Change torch or add backfire-proof fitting.

Contact the manufacturer if cannot solve

Acryl turns yellowish or bubbled after fire-polishing

1.Flame temperature doesn’t match the material

2.Material quality problem

1.Add ethanol into gas filter (see user’s manual)

2.Control the speed of fire-polishing well

3.Change material

Note: 2 year of maintenance, any problem can be solved in 10 years
