Claims for damage during shipment – If your unit was damaged during shipment, you must file a claim with the carrier. Hypertherm will furnish you with a copy of the bill of lading upon request. If you need additional assistance, call Customer Service listed in the front of this manual, or your authorized Hypertherm distributor.
Air may be supplied from cylinders, a liquid supply, or from an on-site compressor. Hypertherm recommends a three-stage coalescing filtration system when using air as a supply gas. See the appendix section for suggested filtration.
INSTALLATION Torch Coolant Requirements The power supply is shipped to the customer without any coolant in the tank. Hypertherm recommends a mixture of 30% propylene glycol, 69.9% purified water, and 0.1% benzotriazole. This mixture resists freezing to +10° F (-12° C) and protects copper surfaces in the coolant loop.

Gas purity is critical for maximizing consumable parts life, as well as for producing the highest quality cutting which Hypertherm plasma equipment can achieve. Plasma air must be clean, dry and oil-free, and air must be delivered at the pressure and flow rate specified for each plasma system. If the air supply contains moisture, oil or dirt particles, cut quality will be lowered and consumable parts life will be shortened, which increase production costs.
