FUEL FILTERS

WARNING

When working on the fuel system

• Keep naked lights away, do not smoke !

• Do not spill fuel !

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

The AIR VANTAGE® 500 is equipped with a Fuel Filter located after the lift pump and before fuel injectors.The procedure for changing the filter is as follows.

1.Close the fuel shutoff valve.

2.Clean the area around the fuel filter head. Remove the filter. Clean the gasket surface of the filter head and replace the o- ring.

3.Fill the clean filter with clean fuel, and lubricate the o-ring seal with clean lubricating oil.

4.Install the filter as specified by the filter manufacturer.

WARNING

Mechanical overtightening will distort the threads, filter element seal or filter can.

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

COOLING SYSTEM

The AIR VANTAGE® 500 is equipped with a pressure radiator. Keep the radiator cap tight to prevent loss of coolant. Clean and flush the coolant system periodically to prevent clogging the passage and over-heating the engine. When antifreeze is needed, always use the permanent type.

BATTERY HANDLING

GASES FROM BATTERY can explode.

Keep sparks, flame and cigarettes away from battery.

To prevent EXPLOSION when:

INSTALLING A NEW BATTERY - disconnect negative cable from old battery first and connect to new battery last.

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.

USING A BOOSTER - connect positive lead to battery first then connect negative lead to engine foot.

BATTERY ACID CAN BURN EYES AND SKIN.

• Wear gloves and eye protection and be careful when working near battery. Follow instructions printed on battery.

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

PREVENTING ELECTRICAL DAMAGE

1.When replacing, jumping, or otherwise connecting the battery to the battery cables, the proper polarity must be observed. Failure to observe the proper polarity could result in damage to the charging circuit. The positive (+) battery cable has a red terminal cover.

2.If the battery requires charging from an external charger, disconnect the negative battery cable first and then the positive battery cable before attaching the charger leads. Failure to do so can result in damage to the internal charger components. When reconnecting the cables, connect the positive cable first and the negative cable last.

PREVENTING BATTERY DISCHARGE

Turn the RUN/STOP switch to stop when engine is not running.

PREVENTING BATTERY BUCKLING

Tighten nuts on battery clamp until snug.
