LIFTING

The VANTAGE® 300 weighs approximately 1305 lbs. (592kg.) with a full tank of fuel (1150 lbs. (522kg.) less fuel). A lift bail is mounted to the machine and should always be used when lifting the machine.

WARNING

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION

Lift only with equipment of adequate lifting capacity.

be sure machine is stable when lift- ing.

Do not lift this machine using lift bail if it is equipped with a heavy acces- sory such as trailer or gas cylinder.

FALLING

• Do not lift machine if lift bail is

cause injury.

• Do not operate machine while

 

suspended from lift bail.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At higher altitudes, output derating may be necessary. For maximum rating, derate the machine 2.5% to 3.5% for every 1000 ft. (305m). Due to new EPA and other local emissions regulations, modifications to the engine for high altitude are restricted within the United States. For use above 6000 ft.(1828 m) an authorized engine field service shop should be contacted to determine if any adjustments can be made for operation in higher elevations.

HIGH TEMPERATURE OPERATION

At temperatures above 104°F (40°C), Welder output derating is necessary. For maximum output ratings, derate the welder output 2 volts for every 18°F (10°C) above 104°F (40°C).

COLD WEATHER STARTING:

With a fully charged battery and the proper oil, the engine should start satisfactorily down to 5°F (-15°C). If the engine must be frequently started at or below 23°F (-5°C), it may be desirable to install cold-starting aides. The use of No. 1D diesel fuel is recommended in place of No. 2D at temperatures below 23°F (-5°C). Allow the engine to warm up before applying a load or switching to high idle.

Note: Extreme cold weather starting may require longer glow plug operation.

WARNING

Under no conditions should ether or other starting fluids be used with this engine!

TOWING

Use a recommended trailer for use with this equipment for road, in-plant and yard towing by a vehicle(1). If the user adapts a non-Lincoln trailer, he must assume responsibility that the method of attachment and usage does not result in a safety hazard or damage the welding equipment. Some of the factors to be considered are as follows:

1.Design capacity of trailer vs. weight of Lincoln equipment and likely additional attachments.

2.Proper support of, and attachment to, the base of the weld- ing equipment so there will be no undue stress to the frame- work.

3.Proper placement of the equipment on the trailer to insure stability side to side and front to back when being moved and when standing by itself while being operated or ser- viced.

4.Typical conditions of use, i.e., travel speed; roughness of sur- face on which the trailer will be operated; environmental con- ditions; like maintenance.

5.Conformance with federal, state and local laws.(1)

(1)Consult applicable federal, state and local laws regarding specific requirements for use on public high- ways.

VEHICLE MOUNTING

WARNING

Improperly mounted concentrated loads may cause unstable vehicle handling and tires or other components to fail.

Only transport this Equipment on serviceable vehicles which are rated and designed for such loads.

Distribute, balance and secure loads so vehicle is stable under conditions of use.

Do not exceed maximum rated loads for compo- nents such as suspension, axles and tires.

Mount equipment base to metal bed or frame of vehicle.

Follow vehicle manufacturer’s instructions.
