SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have thoroughly read all operating and maintenance manuals supplied with your machine. They include important safety precautions, detailed engine starting, operating and maintenance instructions and parts lists.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Do not touch electrically live parts such as output terminals or internal wiring.

•Insulate yourself from the work and ground.

•Always wear dry insulating gloves.

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

ENGINE EXHAUST can kill.

• Use in open, well ventilated areas or vent exhaust outside

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

MOVING PARTS can injure.

•Do not operate with doors open or guards off.

•Stop engine before servicing.

•Keep away from moving parts

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

Only qualified personnel should install, use or service this equipment.

LOCATION / VENTILATION

The welder should be located to provide an unrestricted flow of clean, cool air to the cooling air inlets and to avoid restricting the cooling air outlets. Also, locate the welder so that the engine exhaust fumes are properly vented to an outside area.

CAUTION

DO NOT MOUNT OVER COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES

Where there is a combustible surface directly under stationary or fixed electrical equipment, that surface should be covered with a steel plate at least .06”(1.6mm) thick, which should extend not less than 5.90”(150mm) beyond the equipment on all sides.

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

STORING

1.Store the machine in a cool, dry place when it is not in use. Protect it from dust and dirt. Keep it where it can’t be accidentally damaged from construction activities, moving vehicles, and other hazards.

2.Drain the engine oil and refill with fresh 10W30 oil. Run the engine for about five minutes to circulate oil to all the parts. See the MAINTENANCE section of this manual for details on changing oil.

3.Remove the battery, recharge it, and adjust the electrolyte level. Store the battery in a dry, dark place.

STACKING

AIR VANTAGE® 500 machines cannot be stacked.

ANGLE OF OPERATION

To achieve optimum engine performance the AIR VANTAGE® 500 should be run in a level position. The maximum angle of operation for the VMAC Compressor and Cummins engine is 35 degrees in all directions. When operating the welder at an angle, provisions must be made for checking and maintaining the oil level at the normal (FULL) oil capacity. Also the effective fuel capacity will be slightly less than the specified 25 gal.(94.6 ltrs.).
