ARC RAYS can burn.
ELECTRIC SHOCK
can kill.
3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits
are electrically “hot” when the welder is on.
Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare
skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free
gloves to insulate hands.
4 a
Use a shield with the proper filter and cover
plates to protect your eyes from sparks and
the rays of the arc when welding or
observing open arc welding. Headshield
and filter lens should conform to ANSI
Z87.1 standards.
4.b.Use suitable clothing made from durable flame resistant
material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from the
arc rays.
3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry
insulation. Make certain the insulation is large enough to
cover your full area of physical contact with work and
ground.
4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable non flammable
screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc or expose
themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.
In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding
must be performed under electrically hazardous
conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet
clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings
or scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as
sitting, kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of
unavoidable or accidental contact with the workpiece
or ground) use the following equipment:
FUMES AND GASES
can be dangerous
5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases
hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these
fumes and gases. When welding, keep your
head out of the fume. Use enough
ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to
• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.
• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.
keep fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When
welding with electrodes which require special ventilation
such as stainless or hard facing (see instructions on
container or MSDS) or on lead or cadmium plated steel and
other metals or coatings which produce highly toxic fumes,
keep exposure as low as possible and below Threshold
Limit values (TLV) using local exhaust or mechanical
ventilation. In confined spaces or in some circumstances,
• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.
3.c. In semi-automatic or automatic wire welding, the
electrode, electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semi-
automatic welding gun are also electrically “hot”.
3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical
connection with the metal being welded. The connection
should be as close as possible to the area being welded.
outdoors,
a
respirator may be required. Additional
precautions are also required when welding on galvanized
steel.
3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical
(earth) ground.
5.b.Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon
vapors coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying
operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with
solvent vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and
other irritating products.
3.f. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable
and welding machine in good, safe operating condition.
Replace damaged insulation.
3.g. Never dip the electrode holder in water for cooling.
5.c. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and
cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation,
especially in confined areas, to ensure breathing air is safe.
3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of
electrode holders connected to two welders because
voltage between the two can be the total of the open circuit
voltage of both welders.
5.d.Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this
equipment and the consumables to be used, including the
material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your
employer’s safety practices. MSDS forms are available from
your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.
3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to
protect yourself from a fall should you get a shock.

CYLINDER may explode
WELDING SPARKS can
if damaged
cause fire or explosion
7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders containing
the correct shielding gas for the process used
and properly operating regulators, designed
for the gas and pressure used. All hoses,
6 a Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If
this is not possible, cover them to prevent the
welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember
that welding sparks and hot materials from
fittings, etc. should be suitable for the application and
maintained in good condition.
7.b.Always keep cylinders in an upright position and securely
chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.
welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to
adjacent areas. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines. Have a fire
extinguisher readily available.
6.b.Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site,
special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous
situations. Refer to AS1674 Parts 1 & 2 “Safety in Welding
and Cutting” (ANSI Standard Z49.1) and the operating
information for the equipment being used.
7.c. Cylinders should be located :
• Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to
physical damage.
• A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and
any other source of heat, sparks or flame.
6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode
circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can
cause overheating and create a fire hazard.
7.d.Never allow the electrode, electrode holder, or any other
electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.
6.d.Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the
proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures
will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances
inside. These can cause an explosion even though the
vessel has been “cleaned”. For information purchase
“Recommended Safe Practices for the Preparation for
Welding and Cutting of Containers and Piping that have held
Hazardous Substances”, AWS F4.1 from the American
Welding Society (see address above).
7.e.Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet
when opening the cylinder valve.
7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand-
tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for use.
7.g.Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas
cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-I,
“Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in
Cylinders”, available from the Compressed Gas Association
1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.
6.e.Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or
welding. They may explode.
6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil
free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt,
cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear
ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a
welding area.
FOR ELECTRICALLY
powered equipment.
6.g.Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding
area as possible. Work cables connected to the building
framework or other locations away from the welding area
increase the possibility of the welding current passing
through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate circuits.
This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains or
cables until they fail.
8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect
switch at the fuse box before working on the
equipment.
8.b.Install equipment in accordance with the National Electrical
Code, all local codes and the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
6.h.Also see Item 1c.
8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and the manufacturer’s recommendations.

6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de
prévenir tout risque d’incendie dû aux étincelles.
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ
Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructions
et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans ce
manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales
suivantes:
7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé de
la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un
échauffement et un risque d’incendie.
8. S’assurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible de
la zone de travail qu’il est pratique de le faire. Si on place la
masse sur la charpente de la construction ou d’autres endroits
éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque de voir
passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de levage,
câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer des
risques d’incendie ou d’echauffement des chaines et des
câbles jusqu’à ce qu’ils se rompent.
Sûreté Pour Soudage A L’Arc
1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:
a. Les circuits à l’électrode et à la piéce sont sous tension
quand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujours
tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue
ou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sans
trous pour isoler les mains.
b. Faire trés attention de bien s’isoler de la masse quand on
soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher
metallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans
les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grande
partie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.
c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câble de
soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr état
defonctionnement.
d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans l’eau pour le
refroidir.
e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension
des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souder
parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être le total
de la tension à vide des deux machines.
9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.
Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôles
galvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal qui
produit des fumeés toxiques.
10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenant
d’opérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La
chaleur ou les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs
du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique)
ou autres produits irritants.
11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté, voir
le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSA Standard
W 117.2-1974.
f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source de
courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions
pour le porte-électrode s’applicuent aussi au pistolet de
soudage.
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR
LES MACHINES À SOUDER À
TRANSFORMATEUR ET À
REDRESSEUR
2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protéger
contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamais
enrouler le câble-électrode autour de n’importe quelle partie du
corps.
3. Un coup d’arc peut être plus sévère qu’un coup de soliel, donc:
a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié ainsi
qu’un verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du
rayonnement de l’arc et des projections quand on soude ou
quand on regarde l’arc.
1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code de
l’électricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositif
de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à une
bonne mise à la terre.
b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la peau
de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de l‘arc.
c. Protéger l’autre personnel travaillant à proximité au
soudage à l’aide d’écrans appropriés et non-inflammables.
2. Autant que possible, I’installation et l’entretien du poste seront
effectués par un électricien qualifié.
3. Avant de faires des travaux
debrancher à l’interrupteur à la boite de fusibles.
à
l’interieur de poste, la
4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de l’arc de
soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres
de l’huile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse,
pantalons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.
4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur place.
5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de
soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les
zones où l’on pique le laitier.

compressed air or steam to maintain proper cooling (See the
• Do not overfill tank, fuel
expansion may cause overflow.
DIESEL FUEL ONLY
engine Owners Manual for procedures and frequency).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OIL
The Vantage is shipped with the engine crankcase filled with high
quality SAE 10W-30 oil (API class CD or better). Check the oil
level before starting the engine. If it is not up to the full mark on
the dip stick, add oil as required. Check the oil level every four
hours of running time during the first 35 running hours. Refer to
the engine Operator’s Manual for specific oil recommendations
and break-in information. The oil change interval is dependent on
the quality of the oil and the operating environment. Refer to the
engine Operator’s Manual for the proper service and
maintenance intervals.
BATTERY CONNECTION
WARNING
GASES FROM BATTERY can explode.
• Keep sparks, flame and cigarettes away from
battery.
To prevent EXPLOSION when:
FUEL USE DIESEL FUEL ONLY
• INSTALLING A NEW BATTERY — disconnect
negative cable from old battery first and
connect to new battery last.
Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh diesel fuel. The capacity of the
fuel tank is approx 95 liters. See engine Operator’s Manual for
specific fuel recommendations. Running out of fuel may
require bleeding the fuel injection pump. NOTE: Before
starting the engine, open the fuel shutoff valve (pointer to be in
line with hose).
• CONNECTING A BATTERY CHARGER — remove battery
from welder by disconnecting negative cable first, then
positive cable and battery clamp. When reinstalling,
connect negative cable last. Keep well ventilated.
FUEL CAP
• USING A BOOSTER — connect positive lead to battery first
then connect negative lead to negative battery lead at
engine foot.
Remove the plastic cap covering from the Fuel Tank Filler neck
and install the Fuel Cap.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
BATTERY ACID can burn eyes and skin.
• Wear gloves and eye protection and be careful
when working near battery.
Lincoln Electric selects high quality, heavy-duty industrial
engines for the portable welding machines we offer. While
it is normal to see a small amount of crankcase oil
consumption during initial operation, excessive oil use,
wetstacking (oil or tar like substance at the exhaust port),
or excessive smoke is not normal.
• Follow instructions printed on battery.
IMPORTANT: To prevent ELECTRICAL DAMAGE WHEN:
a) Installing new batteries.
b) Using a booster.
Larger machines with a capacity of 350 amperes and
higher, which are operated at low or no-load conditions for
extended periods of time are especially susceptible to the
conditions described above. To accomplish successful
engine break-in, most diesel-powered equipment needs
only to be run at a reasonably heavy load within the rating
of the welder for some period of time during the engine’s
early life. However, if the welder is subjected to extensive
light loading, occasional moderate to heavy loading of the
engine may sometimes be necessary. Caution must be
observed in correctly loading a diesel/generator unit.
Use correct polarity — Negative Ground.

to the terminals provided. These connections should be checked
periodically and tightened if necessary.
MUFFLER OUTLET PIPE
Listed in Table A.1 are copper cable sizes recommended for the
rated current and duty cycle. Lengths stipulated are the distance
from the welder to work and back to the welder again. Cable sizes
are increased for greater lengths primarily for the purpose of
minimizing cable voltage drop.
Remove the plastic plug covering the muffler outlet tube. Using
the clamp provided secure the outlet pipe to the outlet tube with
the pipe positioned such that it will direct the exhaust in the
desired position.

MACHINE GROUNDING
CAUTION
An incorrect arrestor may lead to damage to the engine or
adversely affect performance.
Because this portable engine driven welder creates its own
power, it is not necessary to connect its frame to an earth ground,
unless the machine is connected to premises wiring (home, shop,
etc.).
To prevent dangerous electric shock, other equipment powered
by this engine driven welder must:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a) be grounded to the frame of the welder using a
grounding type plug,
or
b) be double insulated.
When this welder is mounted on a truck or trailer, its frame must
be securely connected to the metal frame of the vehicle. When
this engine driven welder is connected to premises wiring such as
that in a home or shop, its frame must be connected to the system
earth ground. See further connection instructions in the section
entitled “Standby Power Connections” as well as
the article on grounding in the latest National Electrical Code and
the local codes.
In general, if the machine is to be grounded, it should be
connected with a #8 or larger copper wire to a solid earth ground
such as a metal ground stake going into the ground for at least 10
Feet or to the metal framework of a building which has been
effectively grounded. The National Electric Code lists a number of
alternate means of grounding electrical equipment. A machine

STANDBY POWER CONNECTIONS
REMOTE CONTROL
The Vantage is suitable for temporary, standby or emergency
power using the engine manufacturer’s recommended
maintenance schedule.
OUTPUT
The Vantage is equipped with a 6-pin and a 14-pin connector. The
6-pin connector is for connecting the K857 or K857-1 Remote
Control or for TIG welding, the K870 foot Amptrol or the K936-2
hand Amptrol. When in the CC-STICK, DOWNHILL PIPE, or CV-
WIRE modes and when a remote control is connected to the 6-
pin Connector, the auto-sensing circuit automatically switches the
OUTPUT control from control at the welder to remote control.
The Vantage can be permanently installed as a standby power
unit for 240 volt-3 wire, 50 amp service. Connections must be
made by a licensed electrician who can determine how the
120/240 VAC (60Hz) power can be adapted to the particular
installation and comply with all applicable electrical codes. The
following information can be used as a guide by the electrician for
most applications. Refer to the connection diagram shown in
Figure A.2.
When in TOUCH START TIG mode and when a Amptrol is
connected to the 6-Pin Connector, the OUTPUT dial is used to set
the maximum current range of the CURRENT CONTROL of the
Amptrol.
1. Install the double-pole, double-throw switch between the power
company meter and the premises disconnect.
Switch rating must be the same or greater than the customer’s
premises disconnect and service over current protection.
The 14-pin connector is used to directly connect a wire feeder
control cable. In the CV-WIRE mode, when the control cable is
connected to the 14-pin connector, the auto-sensing circuit
automatically makes the Output Control inactive and the wire
feeder voltage control active.
NOTE: When a wire feeder with a built in welding voltage control
is connected to the 14-pin connector, do not connect anything to
AUXILIARY POWER RECEPTACLES
The auxiliary power capacity of the Vantage is 12,000 watts of 60
Hz, single phase power. The auxiliary power capacity rating in
watts is equivalent to volt-amperes at unity power factor. The
maximum permissible current of the 240 VAC output is 50 A. The
240 VAC output can be split to provide two separate 120 VAC
outputs with a maximum permissible current of 50 A per output to
two separate 120 VAC branch circuits. The output voltage is
within 10% at all loads up to rated capacity.
The Vantage has two 20 Amp-120VAC (5-20R) GFCI duplex
receptacles and one 50 Amp-120/240 VAC (14-50R) receptacle.
The 120/240 VAC receptacle can be split for single phase 120
VAC operation. The auxiliary power receptacles should only be
used with three wire grounded type plugs or approved double
insulated tools with two wire plugs. The current rating of any plug
used with the system must be at least equal to the current
capacity of the associated receptacle.
NOTE: The two 120V GFCI receptacles and the two 120 volt
circuits of the 120/240V receptacle are connected to different
phases and can not be paralleled.

2. Take necessary steps to assure load is limited to the capacity
of the Vantage by installing a 50 amp, 240 VAC double pole
circuit breaker. Maximum rated load for each leg of the 240
VAC auxiliary is 50 amps. Loading above the rated output will
reduce output voltage below the allowable -10% of rated
voltage which may damage appliances or other motor-driven
equipment and may result in overheating of the Vantage
engine.
3. Install a 50 amp 120/240 VAC plug (NEMA Type 14-50) to the
double-pole circuit breaker using No. 6, 4 conductor cable of
the desired length. (The 50 amp, 120/240 VAC plug is

3. HOUR METER
ENGINE CONTROLS (Items 1 through 8)
The hour meter displays the total time that the engine has been
running. This meter is a useful indicator for scheduling preventive
maintenance.
1. RUN
STOP
SWITCH
Toggling the switch to the RUN position energizes the fuel
solenoid for approximately 30 seconds. The engine must be
started within that time or the fuel solenoid will deenergize, and
the switch must be toggled to reset the timer.
4. FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
Displays the level of diesel fuel in the fuel tank.
2. START PUSHBUTTON
The operator must watch the fuel level closely to prevent
running out of fuel and possibly having to bleed the system.
Energizes the starter motor to crank the engine. With the engine
"Run / Stop" switch in the "Run" position, push and hold the Start
button to crank the engine; release as the engine starts. Do not
press while engine is running since this can cause damage to the
ring gear and/or starter motor.

12. ARC CONTROL:
6. OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
The ARC CONTROL WIRE/STICK knob is active in the WIRE
and STICK modes, and has different functions in these modes.
This control is not active in the TIG mode.
The gauge displays the engine oil pressure when the engine is
running.
CC-STICK mode: In this mode, the ARC CONTROL knob sets the
short circuit current (arc-force) during stick welding. Increasing
the number from -10(Soft) to +10 (Crisp) increases the short
circuit current and prevents sticking of the electrode to the plate
while welding. This can also increase spatter. It is recommended
that the ARC CONTROL be set to the minimum number without
electrode sticking. Start with a setting at 0.
7. ENGINE PROTECTION
The yellow engine protection light remains off with proper oil
pressure and under normal operating temperatures. If the light
turns on, the engine protection system will stop the engine. Check
for proper oil level and add oil if necessary. Check for loose or
disconnected leads at the oil pressure sender located on the
engine. The light will remain on when the engine has been shut
down due to low oil pressure or over-temperature condition.
DOWNHILL PIPE mode: In this mode, the ARC CONTROL knob
sets the short circuit current (arc-force) during stick welding to
adjust for a soft or a more forceful digging arc (Crisp). Increasing
the number from -10 (Soft) to +10 (Crisp) increases the short
circuit current which results in a more forceful digging arc.
Typically a forceful digging arc is preferred for root and hot
passes. A softer arc is preferred for fill and cap passes where
weld puddle control and deposition (“stacking” of iron) are key to
fast travel speeds. It is recommended that the ARC CONTROL
be set initially at 0.
8. BATTERY CHARGING LIGHT
The yellow engine alternator light is off when battery charging
system is functioning normally. If light turns on, the engine
protection system will shut down the engine. Check the Engine
cooling blower belt. Also the alternator or the voltage regulator
may not be operating correctly. The light may also come on due
to a faulty flashing circuit. The light will remain on when the
engine is stopped and the run/stop switch is in the run position.
CV-WIRE mode: In this mode, turning the ARC CONTROL knob
from -10(soft) to +10(crisp) changes the arc from soft and
washed-in to crisp and narrow. It acts as an inductance/pinch
control. The proper setting depends on the procedure and
operator preference. Start with a setting of 0.
WELDING CONTROLS (Items 9 through 17)
13. WELDING TERMINALS SWITCH
9. OUTPUT CONTROL: The OUTPUT dial is used to preset the
output voltage or current as displayed on the digital meters for the
four welding modes. When in the CC-STICK, DOWNHILL PIPE or
CV-WIRE modes and when a remote control is connected to the
6-Pin or 14-Pin Connector, the auto-sensing circuit automatically
switches the OUTPUT CONTROL from control at the welder to
the remote control. In the CV-WIRE mode, when the wire feeder
control cable is connected to the 14-pin connector the auto-
sensing circuit automatically makes OUTPUT CONTROL inactive
and the wire feeder voltage control active.
In the WELD TERMINALS ON position, the output is electrically
hot all the time. In the REMOTELY CONTROLLED position, the
output is controlled by a wire feeder or amptrol device, and is
electrically off until a remote switch is depressed.
When in the TOUCH START TIG mode and when a Amptrol is
connected to the 6-pin Connector, the OUTPUT dial is used to set
the maximum current range of the CURRENT CONTROL of the
Amptrol.
10. DIGITAL OUTPUT METERS:
The digital meters allow the output voltage (CV-WIRE mode) or
current (CC-STICK, DOWNHILL PIPE and TIG modes) to be set
prior to welding using the OUTPUT control knob. During welding,
the meters display the actual output voltage (VOLTS) and current
(AMPS). A memory feature holds the display of both meters on
the seven seconds after welding is stopped. This allows the
operator to read the actual current and voltage just prior to when
welding was ceased. While the display is being held the left-most
decimal point in each display will be flashing. The accuracy of the
meters is 3%.

AUXILIARY POWER CONTROLS
COLD WEATHER STARTING
(Items 18-21)
With a fully charged battery and the proper weight oil, the engine
should start satisfactorily even down to about 0°F. If the engine
must be frequently started below 10°F, it may be desirable to
install the optional ether start kit (K825-1). Installation and
operating instructions are included in the kit.
18. 120/240 VAC RECEPTACLE
This is a 120/240VAC (14-50R) receptacle that provides 240VAC
or can be split for 120VAC single phase auxiliary power. This
receptacle has a 50 amp rating. Refer to the AUXILIARY POWER
RECEPTACLES section in the installation chapter for further
information about this receptacle. Also refer to the AUXILIARY
POWER OPERATION section later in this chapter.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Switch the RUN/STOP switch to “STOP”. This turns off the
voltage supplied to the shutdown solenoid. A backup shutdown
can be accomplished by shutting off the fuel valve located on
the fuel line.
19. CIRCUIT BREAKERS
These circuit breakers provide separate overload current
protection for each 120V circuit at the 240V receptacle, each
120V receptacle, the 120VAC in the 14-Pin connector, the 42VAC
in the 14-Pin connector and battery circuit overload protection.
20. 120VAC GFCI RECEPTACLES
These two 120VAC (5-20R) receptacles with ground fault circuit
interruption protection provide 120VAC for auxiliary power. Each
receptacle has a 20 amp total rating. They are designed to protect
the user from the hazards of ground faults. When the GFCI has
tripped there will be no voltage available from the receptacle. If
the GFCI has tripped, any device plugged into the GFCI
receptacle should be unplugged and the reason for tripping the
GFCI should be determined. If the device is found to be damaged
or defective, it should be repaired or replaced before any further
use. The GFCI should be checked for proper operation prior to
each use by pressing the test button. The GFCI can be reset by
pushing the reset button. Refer to the AUXILIARY POWER
RECEPTACLES section in the installation chapter for further
information about these receptacles. Also refer to the AUXILIARY

TYPICAL FUEL CONSUMPTION
TOUCH START TIG MODE
Refer to Table B.2 for typical fuel consumption of the Vantage
Engine for various operating scenarios.
The Vantage can be used in a wide variety of DC TIG welding
applications.
The TOUCH START TIG setting of the MODE switch is for DC
TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding. To initiate a weld, the
OUTPUT CONTROL knob is first set to the desired current and
the tungsten is touched to the work. During the time the tungsten
is touching the work there is very little voltage or current and, in
general, avoids tungsten contamination. Then, the tungsten is
gently lifted off the work in a rocking motion, which establishes the
arc.

To stop the arc, simply lift the TIG torch away from the work piece.
When the arc voltage reaches approximately 30 volts, the arc will
go out and the machine will automatically reset to the touch start
current level. The tungsten may then be retouched to the work
piece to restrike the arc. The arc may also be started and stopped
with an Amptrol or Arc Start Switch.

The ARC CONTROL is not active in the TIG mode.
In general the ‘Touch Start’ feature avoids tungsten contamination
without the use of a Hi-frequency unit. If the use of a high
frequency generator is desired, the K930-2 TIG Module can be
used with the Vantage. The settings are for reference.
WELDER OPERATION
The Vantage is equipped with the required R.F. bypass circuitry
for the connection of high frequency generating equipment.
DUTY CYCLE
The Vantage and any high frequency generating equipment must
be properly grounded. See the K930-2 TIG Module operating
manuals for complete instructions on installation, operation, and
maintenance.
Duty Cycle is the the ratio of the uninterrupted on-load duration to
10 minutes. The total time period of one complete on-load and no-
load cycle is 10 minutes. For example, in the case of a 60% duty
cycle, load is applied continuously for 6 minutes followed by a no-
load period of 4 minutes.
When using the TIG Module, the OUTPUT control on the Vantage
is used to set the maximum range of the CURRENT CONTROL
on the TIG Module or an Amptrol if connected to the TIG Module.
STICK WELDING MODE
The Vantage can be used with a broad range of DC stick
electrodes.
VANTAGE SETTINGS WHEN USING THE K930-2
TIG MODULE
The MODE switch provides two stick welding settings as follows:
CC-STICK MODE
• Set the WELD MODE switch to the setting.
The CC-STICK position of the MODE switch is designed for
horizontal, vertical-up and overhead welding with all types of
electrodes, especially low hydrogen. The OUTPUT CONTROL
knob adjusts the full output range for stick welding.
• Set the WELDING TERMINALS switch to the “Remotely
Controlled” position. This will keep the solid state contactor open
and provide a “cold” electrode until the triggering device
(Amptrol or Arc Start Switch) is pressed.
The ARC CONTROL knob sets the short circuit (arc-force) current
during stick welding. Increasing the number from -10 (Soft) to +10
(Crisp) increases the short circuit current and prevents sticking of
the electrode to the plate while welding. This can also increase
spatter. It is recommended that the ARC CONTROL be set to the
minimum number without electrode sticking. Start with the knob
set at 0.
DOWNHILL PIPE MODE
This slope controlled setting is intended for “out-of-position” and
“down hill” pipe welding where the operator would like to control
the current level by changing the arc length. The OUTPUT
CONTROL knob adjusts the full output range for pipe welding.
The ARC CONTROL knob sets the short circuit current (arc-force)
during stick welding to adjust for a soft or a more forceful digging
arc (Crisp). Increasing the number from -10 (Soft) to +10 (Crisp)
increases the short circuit current which results in a more forceful
digging arc. Typically a forceful digging arc is preferred for root
and hot passes. A softer arc is preferred for fill and cap passes
where weld puddle control and deposition (“stacking” of iron) are
key to fast travel speeds. It is recommended that the ARC
CONTROL be set initially at 0.

CV-WIRE MODE
Connect a wire feeder to the Vantage and set welder controls
according to the instructions listed earlier in this section.
AUXILIARY POWER OPERATION
Start the engine and set the IDLER control switch to the desired
operating mode. Full power is available regardless of the welding
control settings, if no welding current is being drawn.
The Vantage in the ”CV-WIRE” position, permits it to be used with
a broad range of flux cored wire (Innershield and Outershield)
electrodes and solid wires for MIG welding (gas metal arc
welding). Welding can be finely tuned using the “ARC
CONTROL”. Turning the ARC CONTROL clockwise from -
10(soft) to +10(crisp) changes the arc from soft and washed-in to
crisp and narrow. It acts as an inductance/pinch control. The
proper setting depends on the procedure and operator
preference. Start with the knob set at 0.
The auxiliary power of the Vantage consists of two 20 Amp-
120VAC (5-20R) GFCI duplex receptacles and one 50 Amp-
120/240 VAC (14-50R) receptacle. The 120/240VAC receptacle
can be split for single phase 120 VAC operation.
The auxiliary power capacity is 12,000 watts of 60 Hz, single
phase power. The auxiliary power capacity rating in watts is
equivalent to volt-amperes at unity power factor. The maximum
permissible current of the 240 VAC output is 50 A. The 240 VAC
output can be split to provide two separate 120 VAC outputs with
a maximum permissible current of 50 A per output to two separate
120 VAC branch circuits. Output voltage is within 10% at all
loads up to rated capaci
For any electrodes, the procedures should be kept within the
rating of the machine. For additional electrode information, See
NOTE: The two 120V GFCI receptacles and the two 120V circuits
of the 120/240V receptacle are connected to different phases and
cannot be paralleled.
ARC GOUGING
For optimal performance when arc gouging, set the Vantage
“WELD MODE” switch to the “CC - STICK” position, and the
“ARC CONTROL” to 10.
The auxiliary power receptacles should only be used with three
wire grounded type plugs or approved double insulated tools with
two wire plugs.
Set the “OUTPUT” knob to adjust output current to the desired
level for the gouging electrode being used according to the
ratings in the following table:
The current rating of any plug used with the system must be at
least equal to the current capacity of the associated receptacle.
* Maximum current setting is limited to the Vantage maximum of
575 Amps.
SIMULTANEOUS WELDING AND AUXILIARY
POWER LOADS
It must be noted that the above auxiliary power ratings are with
no welding load. Simultaneous welding and power loads are
specified in table B.4. The permissible currents shown assume
that current is being drawn from either the 120 VAC or 240 VAC
supply (not both at the same time).

PARALLELING
When paralleling machines in order to combine their outputs, all
units must be operated in the CC - STICK mode only at the same
output settings. To achieve this turn the WELD MODE switch to
the CC - STICK position. Operation in other modes may produce
erratic outputs, and large output imbalances between the units.

ROUTINE AND PERIODIC
MAINTENANCE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The air filter element is a dry cartridge type. It can be cleaned and
reused; however, damaged elements should not be reused. Stop
engine after 100 hours of running time and clean filter element ,
replace the filter if necessary. Service air cleaner regularly
according to Engine Operator’s Manual.
DAILY
• Check the crankcase oil level .
1. Locate the air filter canister located behind the engine door on
the top of the engine.
• Refill the fuel tank to minimize moisture condensation in the
tank.
2. Remove air filter element.
• Open the water drain valve located on the bottom of the water
separator element 1 or 2 turns and allow to drain into a
container suitable for diesel fuel for 2 to 3 seconds. Repeat the
above drainage procedure until diesel fuel is detected in the co
3. Remove loose dirt from element with compressed air or water
hose directed from inside out.
Compressed Air: 100 psi maximum with nozzles at least
one inch away from element.
Water Hose: 40 psi maximum without nozzle.
WEEKLY
4. Soak element in a mild detergent solution for 15 minutes. Do
not soak more than 24 hours. Swish element around in the
solution to help remove dirt.
Blow out the machine with low pressure air periodically. In
particularly dirty locations, this may be required once a week.
5. Rinse elements from inside out with a gentle stream of water
(less than 40 psi) to remove all suds and dirt.
6. Dry element before reuse with warm air at less than 160°F
(71°C). Do not use a light bulb to dry the element.

7. Inspect for holes and tears by looking through the element
toward a bright light. Check for damaged gaskets or dented
metal parts. Do not reuse damaged elements. Protect element
from dust and damage during drying and storage.
7. Re-insert the large white volume plug into the upper cavity.
8. Place the O-ring onto the angled seal surface of the filter
header and re-install the plastic cap. Make sure its flange rests
on the O-ring.
8. Reinstall air filter element.
After six cleanings replace air filter. A cleaned filter will have
approximately 70% of the life of a new filter element. A restricted
filter element may not appear excessively dirty.
9. Screw on the cap ring and tighten hand tight.
10. Remember to open the fuel shutoff valve (Lever in line with
the hose) before starting the engine.
FUEL FILTERS
WATER SEPARATOR ELEMENT
WARNING
The water separator element is a two stage filter with a special
filtration/water separating media, and an expanded water
reservoir providing maximum protection against water in the fuel.
The recommended change interval for the water separator
element is 1,000 hours. The procedure for changing the element
is as follows:
When working on the fuel system
• Keep naked lights away, do not smoke !
• Do not spill fuel !
1. Close the fuel shutoff valve (Lever should be perpendicular to
the hose) located on the side of the Fuel Pre-Filter/Water
Separator Assembly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Vantage is equipped with a Fuel Pre-Filter/Water Separator
Assembly located before the lift pump and a Secondary Fuel
Filter located after the lift pump and before the fuel injectors. The
Fuel Pre-Filter/Water Separator is mounted to the engine block
just below the lift pump. The Secondary Fuel Filter is mounted
directly to the engine just above the oil filter.
2. Rotate the quick change ring (located just below filter header)
clockwise approximately 1/2 turn and slide it down and off of
the element.
3. Grasp the element and pull down with a slight rocking motion
to remove the element from the grommet post on the bottom
of the filter header.
FUEL PRE-FILTER/WATER SEPARATOR
ASSEMBLY
4. Slide the new element onto the grommet post on the bottom
of the filter header until the element no longer easily moves up
into the filter header. Now rotate the element (may take almost
1 full turn) with a slight upward pressure until the element
begins to further engage the header. With the proper
orientation now established apply additional pressure to seat
the element in the filter header. You should feel the element
“pop” into place when properly seated.
The pre-filter is a 150 micron screen designed to protect against
gross fuel contamination of the water separator element and the
Secondary Fuel Filter. If the pre-filter becomes plugged it may be
removed, inspected, cleaned and reinstalled. In general this only
needs to be done with each water separator element change
(about every 1,000 hrs.) However if at any time excessive fuel
contamination is suspected or a sudden fall-off in engine
performance is detected the pre-filter screen should be inspected
and cleaned. Follow the following procedure:
Note: The element will only go on one way. Never use
excessive force when mounting the element to the
header.
1. Close the fuel shutoff valve (Lever should be perpendicular to
the hose) located on the side of the Fuel Pre-Filter/Water
Separator Assembly.
5. Slide the quick change ring up over the element and rotate
counter clockwise until an audible click or pop is heard. If you
do not hear the click you have not rotated the ring far enough
and the element is not in the locked position. Another
indication that the ring is in the locked position is that one set
(it doesn’t matter which one) of arrows located on the outside
of the ring should be located directly under the air vent valve.
2. Unscrew the cap ring located on the top of the filter header
and remove the plastic center cap and O-ring.
3. Remove the large white volume plug located directly under the
center cap in the upper cavity of the filter header. Use a small
screwdriver (or similar device) to lift the plug part way out of
the cavity to assist with its removal.
6. Open the fuel shutoff valve (lever in line with the hose).
7. Open the air vent valve on the front of the filter header until
fuel emerges free of air bubbles and then close the air vent
valve.
Be careful not to damage the pre-filter screen with the
tool used to remove the plug.
Note : Consult your engine operation manual for information on
air bleeding the entire fuel system.
4. Using a pair of pliers, gently tug on the pull tabs of the pre-filter
screen in an alternating pattern to gradually remove the pre-
filter screen.
SECONDARY FUEL FILTER
The Secondary Fuel Filter is a spin on cartridge type mount
directly to the engine. Consult your engine operation manual for
complete information on service intervals and element changing
procedures.
5. Brush off any debris and rinse in diesel fuel.
6. Re-install the pre-filter screen into the upper cavity of the filter
header making sure the four pull tabs are pointing up. Putting
your fingers on the pull tabs, push down evenly until the lower
body of the pre-filter screen contacts the floor of the upper
cavity.
