PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS FROM POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. READ AND UNDERSTANDBOTH THE SPECIFIC INFORMATION GIVEN IN THE OPERATING MANUAL FOR THE WELDER AND/OR OTHEREQUIPMENT TO BE USED AS WELL AS THE FOLLOWING GENERAL INFORMATION.

ARC WELDING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits areelectrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do not touchthese “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing.Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.

b. In semi-automatic and automatic wire welding, theelectrode, electrode reel, welding head and nozzle orsemi-automatic welding gun are also electrically “hot”.

c. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dryinsulation. When welding in damp locations, on metalframework such as floors, gratings or scaffolds, andwhen in positions such as sitting or lying, make certainthe insulation is large enough to cover your full area ofphysical contact with work and ground.

d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electricalconnection with the metal being welded. Theconnection should be as close as possible to the areabeing welded.

e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a goodelectrical (earth) ground.

f. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, weldingcable and welding machine in good, safe operatingcondition. Replace damaged insulation.

g. Never dip the electrode holder in water for cooling.

h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts ofelectrode holders connected to two welders becausevoltage between the two can be the total of the opencircuit voltage of both welders.

i. When working above floor level, protect yourself froma fall should you get a shock.

j. Also see items 4c and 6.

2. a. Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous tohealth. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases. Whenwelding, keep your head out of the fume. Use enoughventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep fumes andgases away from the breathing zone. When welding ongalvanised, lead or cadmium plated steel and othermetals which produce toxic fumes, even greater caremust be taken.

b. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbonvapours coming from degreasing, cleaning or sprayingoperations. The heat and rays of the arc can react withsolvent vapours to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas,and other irritating products.

c. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace airand cause injury or death. Always use enoughventilation, especially in confined areas, to ensurebreathing air is safe.

d. Read and understand the manufacturer’ s instructionsfor this equipment and the consumables to be used,including the material safety data sheet (MSDS) andfollow your employer’s safety practices.

e. Also see Item 7b.

3. a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates toprotect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arcwhen welding or observing open arc welding.Headshield and filter lens should conform to AS1674.2-2003 AS1337-1992 and AS1338-1992standards.

b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flameresistant material to protect your skin and that of yourhelpers from the arc rays.

c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable nonflammable screening and/or warn them not to watchthe arc or expose themselves to the arc rays or to hotspatter or metal.

4. a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this isnot possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparksfrom starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks andhot materials from welding can easily go through smallcracks and openings to adjacent areas. Have a fireextinguisher readily available.

b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the jobsite, special precautions should be used to preventhazardous situations. Refer to AS1674 Parts 1 & 2“Safety in Welding and Allied Processes”, WTIATechnical Note 7 “Health and Safety in Welding” andthe operating information for the equipment beingused.

c. When not welding, make certain no part of theelectrode circuit is touching the work or ground.Accidental contact can cause overheating and create afire hazard.

d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containersuntil the proper steps have been taken to insure thatsuch procedures will not cause flammable or toxicvapours from substances inside. These can cause anexplosion even though the vessel has been “cleaned”.For information purchase AS 1674-1990.

e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating,cutting or welding. They may explode.

f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc.Wear oil free protective garments such as leathergloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes anda cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs when welding outof position or in confined places. Always wear safetyglasses with side shields when in a welding area.

g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to thewelding area as possible. Work cables connected tothe building framework or other locations away fromthe welding area increase the possibility of the weldingcurrent passing through lifting chains, crane cables orother alternate circuits. This can create fire hazards oroverheat lifting chains or cables until they fail.

h. Also see Item 7c.

5. a. Use only compressed gas cylinders containing thecorrect shielding gas for the process used andproperly operating regulators, designed for the gasand pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should besuitable for the application and maintained in goodcondition.

b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position andsecurely chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.

c. Cylinders should be located :

• Away from areas where they may be struck orsubjected to physical damage.

• A safe distance from arc welding or cuttingoperations and any other source of heat, sparks orflame.

d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder, or anyother electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.

e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valveoutlet when opening the cylinder valve.

f. Valve protection caps should always be in place andhand-tight except when the cylinder is in use orconnected for use.

g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gascylinders and associated equipment, and AS 2030Parts 1 & 2.

VRD - VOLTAGE REDUCTION DEVICESWhat are VRD & ROCV Devices?VRD's are gaining popularity as a "must have" safety accessoryespecially where welding applications are being carried out in anenvironment with a high-risk of electric shock such as wet areasand hot humid sweaty conditions.

VRD & ROCV are the abbreviations of two different namingconventions used to describe safety device fitted to weldingpower source to help protect the operator from electric shocks.

VRD stands for ‘Voltage Reduction Device’ and ROCV stands for‘Reduced Open Circuit Voltage’ both devices are either fitted asan after market addition or part of the integral design of amachine. They reduce the voltage at the welding output terminalswhilst not welding to a no load voltage of no more than 35V for dcwelding and for ac welding 35V peak 25V a.c. rms, when theresistance of the output circuit is below 200Ø (ohms). The lowerreactivation resistance is of the device the higher the safety levelbut also requires that the welding cable connections be keep ingood electrical condition.

Having good electrical connections also limit the possibility ofother safety issues such as heat-generated damage, burns andfires.

Welding Power SourcesWelding power sources generally have an Open Circuit Voltage(i.e. the voltage at the welding output terminals whilst not welding)in the ranges of 35 – 115VDC. Welding machines for stickwelding (MMAW) and similar constant current (CC) processes,supply a higher open circuit voltage between the electrode andthe work when the welding machine is switch on and ready tocommence welding. These welding machines have a droopingcharacteristic, with the open circuit voltage higher (typically 60-80V) than when the arc is established and welding current isdrawn (20-35V).

Consequently, the greatest danger occurs when handling theelectrodes and the electrode holder between welding operations,such as when changing electrodes.

Welding machines for MIG (GMAW & FCAW) have a flat constantvoltage (CV) characteristic, generally with a lower open circuitvoltage (30-60V). Also, the current is turned on & off by a guntrigger, which also controls the wire feed. Therefore, the welder isnot exposed to open circuit voltage, unless the trigger is turned onand the wire is feeding. Also, electrodes are not changed asfrequently as for stick welding (MMAW).

For these reasons VRD/ROCV’s are more commonlyincorporated into the stick welding mode (CC) of weldingmachines being used in environments with high-risk of electricshock.

All multi-process CC/CV machines which are fitted with VRD’s donot offer low voltage protection in CV modes. If the multi-processmachine has a “WELD TERMINAL ENABLE SWITCH” enabled, theweld output terminals will be electrically ‘HOT’ and potentiallyHigh Voltage present.

Only ‘ACROSS THE ARC’ type wire feeders with a internalcontactor fitted should be used in this configuration.

Arc air gouging is not recommended in CV. Due to ‘CV MODE’ notoffering VRD protection.

This reduction of the voltage supplies a safer level of voltagewhen an arc is not being struck or when an electrical resistanceless than the welder’s body resistance have been detected.

All VRD’s are only an aid to safety and personal protectiveequipment and safe working practices must be observed at alltimes. The risk of electric shock during welding from a correctlyinstalled and maintained welding machine is negligible, providedthat sensible precautions are taken by the user and correct safeworking procedures are followed. All parts of the output circuitshould be considered electrically alive, and consequently weldersshould ensure that no part of their body is placed in such aposition as would complete a path through it for the passage ofelectric current. Safe working procedures should always befollowed whether a VRD is fitted or not.

OperationDue to inherit low voltage safety features of the VRD’s to reducethe possibility of electric shock to the operator. A very slight delayduring striking of the electrode may be experienced. The highvoltage that is available on units without VRD’s allows them topenetrate and burn through dirty, painted and heavily mill scaleplate. Units fitted with VRD’s cannot penetrate and are required toregister the correct resistance, which switches the safety deviceinto weld mode. Unlike other VRD’s Lincoln uses micro processorcontrol to monitor and establish the arc without the sticking andshorting of the electrode to the job as seen in many other VRDinstallations. Due to the requirement of the resistance in the circuitto be low for a VRD to operate, a good metal-to-metal contact must be made between the metal core ofthe electrode and the job. A damaged or poor connectionanywhere in the output circuit may limit the operation of the VRD.

Some electrodes form a cone at the end of the electrode after thewelding arc has been broken, particularly iron powder and lowhydrogen electrodes. This cone will need to be broken off in orderto have the metal core of the electrode to make contact.

Safe working procedures should always be followed whethera VRD is fitted or not.

Only qualified personnel should install, use or service thisequipment.

Location / VentilationThe welder should be located to provide an unrestricted flow ofclean, cool air to the cooling air inlets and to avoid restricting thecooling air outlets. Also, locate the welder so that the engineexhaust fumes are properly vented to an outside area.

Storing1. 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 beaccidentally damaged from construction activities, movingvehicles, and other hazards.

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

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

StackingVantage 575 machines cannot be stacked.

Angle of OperationTo achieve optimum engine performance the Vantage 575 shouldbe run in a level position. The maximum angle of operation for theCummins engine is 35 degrees in all directions. If the engine is tobe operated at an angle, provisions must be made for checkingand maintaining the oil level at the normal (FULL) oil capacity inthe crankcase. When operating the welder at an angle, theeffective fuel capacity will be slightly less than that specified.

LiftingThe Vantage lift bale should be used to lift the machine. TheVantage is shipped with the lift bale retracted. Before attemptingto lift the Vantage the lift bale must be secured in a raisedposition. Secure the lift bale as follows:

a. Open the engine compartment door.

b. Locate the 2 access holes on the upper middle region ofcompartment wall just below the lift bale.

c. Use the lifting strap to raise the lift bale to the full uprightposition. This will align the mounting holes on the lift balewith the access holes.

d. Secure the lift bale with 2 thread forming screws. Thescrews are provided in the shipped loose parts bag.

FALLING EQUIPMENT can cause injury.

• Do not lift this machine using lift bale if itis equipped with a heavy accessory suchas a trailer or gas cylinder.

• Lift only with equipment of adequate lifting capacity.

• Be sure machine is stable when lifting.

High Altitude OperationAt higher altitudes, output derating may be necessary. Formaximum rating, derate the welder output 4% for every 300meters (984 ft.) above 1500 meters (4920 ft.). For output of 500Aand below, derate the welder output 4% for every 300 meters (984ft.) above 2100 meters (6888 ft.).

Contact a Cummins Service Representative for any engineadjustments that may be required.

High Temperature OperationAt temperatures above 40°C (104°F), output current derating maybe necessary. For maximum output current ratings, derate weldercurrent rating 25 Amps for every 5°C (9°F) above 40°C (104°F).

Listed in Table A.1 are copper cable sizes recommended for therated current and duty cycle. Lengths stipulated are the distancefrom the welder to work and back to the welder again. Cable sizesare increased for greater lengths primarily for the purpose ofminimising cable voltage drop.

Table A.1 Combined Length of Electrode and Work Cables.

Machine EarthingBecause this portable engine driven welder creates its ownpower, 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 poweredby this engine driven welder must:

a) be grounded to the frame of the welder using an earthedtype plug,

or

b) be double insulated.

When this welder is mounted on a truck or trailer, its frame mustbe securely connected to the metal frame of the vehicle. Whenthis engine driven welder is connected to premises wiring such asthat in a home or shop, its frame must be connected to the systemearth ground. See further connection instructions in the sectionentitled “Standby Power Connections” as well as AustralianStandard AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules and the local codes.

In general, if the machine is to be earthed, it should be connectedwith a 102mm or larger copper wire to a solid earth ground suchas a metal earth stake going into the ground for at least 1.2m orto the metal framework of a building which has been effectivelyearthed. The Australian Standard AS/NZS 3000 lists a number ofalternate means of grounding electrical equipment. A machinegrounding stud marked with the symbol is provided on thefront of the welder.

An incorrect arrestor may lead to damage to the engine oradversely affect performance.

Remote Control

OutputThe Vantage is equipped with a 6-pin and a 14-pin connector. The6-pin connector is for connecting the K857 or K857-1 RemoteControl or for TIG welding, the K870 foot Amptrol or the K936-2hand Amptrol. When in the CC-STICK or CV WIRE modes andwhen a remote control is connected to the 6-pin Connector, theauto-sensing circuit automatically switches the OUTPUT controlfrom control at the welder to remote control.

When in TOUCH START TIG mode and when a Amptrol isconnected to the 6-Pin Connector, the OUTPUT dial is used to setthe maximum current range of the CURRENT CONTROL of theAmptrol.

The 14-pin connector is used to directly connect a wire feedercontrol cable. In the CV-WIRE mode, when the control cable isconnected to the 14-pin connector, the auto-sensing circuitautomatically makes the Output Control inactive and the wirefeeder voltage control active.

Auxiliary Power ReceptaclesThe auxiliary power capacity of the Vantage is 20kVA of 50Hzthree phase power protected by an RCD (Residual CurrentDevice) and a 3 phase 32 amp circuit breaker.The auxiliary powercapacity in watts equivalent to volt-amperes at unity power factor.

This model has:

1 x 3 phase and neutral Residual Current Device (RCD)

protection (30mA)

1 x 3 phase 32 amp Circuit Breaker

1 x 3 phase 415 volt 32 amp

2 x 1 phase 15 amp Circuit Breakers

2 x 1 phase 240 volt 15 amp per outlet

Note: The single-phase outlets are from different phases andcannot be paralleled.

The auxiliary power receptacles should only be used with three orfour wire earthed type plugs or approved double insulated tools.The current rating of any plug used with the system must be atleast equal to the current capacity of the associated receptacle.

Standby Power ConnectionsThe Vantage is suitable for temporary, standby or emergencypower using the engine manufacturer’s recommendedmaintenance schedule.

The Vantage can be permanently installed as a standby powerunit for 415/240 volt (50 Hz). Connections must be made by alicensed electrician who can determine how the 415/240 VACpower can be adapted to the particular installation and complywith all applicable electrical codes. The following information canbe used as a guide by the electrician for most applications.

1. Install an isolation switch between the power companymeter and the premises disconnect. (The Vantage and thepower company supplies must not be connected together).

Switch rating must be the same or greater than the customer’spremises disconnect and service over current protection.

2. Take necessary steps to assure load is limited to thecapacity of the Vantage by installing a 32 amp, 415 VACthree pole circuit breaker. Loading above the rated outputwill reduce output voltage below the allowable -10% ofrated voltage which may damage appliances or othermotor-driven equipment and may result in overheating ofthe Vantage engine.

3. Install a 32 amp 3 phase plug to the triple-pole circuitbreaker using 6.02mm (minimum) x 4 conductor cable of thedesired length. (1 x 32 amp / 415 V & 2 x 15 amp / 240 V,plugs are available in the optional KA1373-2 plug kit).

4. Plug this cable into the 3 phase receptacle on the Vantagecase front.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

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

• Insulate yourself from the work andground.

• Always wear dry insulating gloves.

ENGINE EXHAUST can kill.

• Use in open, well ventilated areas or ventexhaust outside.

• Do not stack anything near the engine.

MOVING PARTS can injure.

• Do not operate with doors open or guardsoff.

• Stop engine before servicing.

• Keep away from moving parts.

Only qualified personnel should operate this equipment.

VRD (Voltage Reduction Device)Welding power sources generally have an Open Circuit Voltage(i.e. the voltage at the welding output terminals whilst not welding)in the ranges of 35-115VDC. Welding machines for stick welding(MMAW) and similar constant current (CC mode) processes,supply a higher open circuit voltage between the electrode andthe work when the welding machine is switch on and ready tocommence welding. These welding machines have a droopingcharacteristic, with the open circuit voltage higher (typically 60-80V) than when the arc is established and welding current isdrawn (20-35V).


Welding machines for MIG (GMAW & FCAW) have a flat constantvoltage (CV) characteristic, generally with a lower open circuitvoltage (30-60V). Also, the current is turned on & off by a guntrigger, which also controls the wire feed. Therefore, the welder isnot exposed to open circuit voltage, unless the trigger is turned onand the wire is feeding. Also, electrodes are not changed asfrequently as for stick welding (MMAW).


SafetyThis reduction of the voltage supplies a safer level of voltagewhen an arc is not being struck or when an electrical resistanceless than the welder’s body resistance have been detected. AllVRD’s are only an aid to safety and personal protectiveequipment and safe working practises must be observed at alltimes. The risk of electric shock during welding from a correctlyinstalled and maintained welding machine is negligible, providedthat sensible precautions are taken by the user and correct safeworking procedures are followed. All parts of the output circuitshould be considered electrical alive, and consequently weldersshould ensure that no part of their body is placed in such aposition as would complete a path through it for the passage ofelectric current. Safe working procedures should always befollowed whether a VRD is fitted or not.

Additional Safety PrecautionsAlways operate the welder with the hinged door closed andthe side panels in place as these provide maximumprotection from moving parts and insure proper cooling airflow.

9. IDLER SWITCH

Has two positions as follows:

A) In the “High” position , the engine runs at the high idlespeed controlled by the governor.

B) In the “Auto” / position, the idler operates as follows:

a. When switched from “High” to “Auto” or after starting theengine, the engine will operate at full speed forapproximately 12 seconds and then go to low idle speed.

b. When the electrode touches the work or power is drawnfor lights or tools (approximately 100 Watts minimum) theengine accelerates and operates at full speed.

c. When welding ceases and the AC power load is turnedoff, a fixed time delay of approximately 12 secondsstarts.

d. If the welding or AC power load is not restarted beforethe end of the time delay, the idler reduces the enginespeed to low idle speed.

e. The engine will automatically return to high idle speedwhen the welding load or A.C. power load is reapplied.

Idler Operational Exceptions

When the WELDING TERMINALS switch is in the “RemotelyControlled” position the idler will operate as follows:

a. When the triggering device (Amptrol, Arc Start Switch, etc.)is pressed the engine will accelerate and operate at fullspeed provided a welding load is applied withinapproximately 12 seconds.

• If the triggering device remains pressed but no weldingload is applied within approximately 12 seconds the enginewill return to low idle speed.

• If the triggering device is released or welding ceases theengine will return to low idle speed after approximately 12seconds.

Welding Controls (Items 10 through 19)10. OUTPUT CONTROL

The OUTPUT dial is used to preset the output voltage or currentas displayed on the digital meters for the three welding modes.When in the CC-STICK or CV-WIRE modes and when a remotecontrol is connected to the 6-Pin or 14-Pin Connector, the auto-sensing circuit automatically switches the OUTPUTCONTROL from control at the welder to the remote control. In theCV-WIRE mode, when the wire feeder control cable is connectedto the 14-Pin Connector, the auto sensing circuit automaticallymakes OUTPUT CONTROL inactive and the wire feeder voltagecontrol active.

When in the TOUCH START TIG mode and when a Amptrol isconnected to the 6-Pin Connector, the OUTPUT dial is used to setthe maximum current range of the CURRENT CONTROL of theAmptrol.

11. DIGITAL OUTPUT METERS

The digital meters allow the output voltage (CV-WIRE mode) orcurrent (CC-STICK and TIG modes) to be set prior to weldingusing the OUTPUT control knob. During welding, the metersdisplay the actual output voltage (VOLTS) and current (AMPS). Amemory feature holds the display of both meters on the sevenseconds after welding is stopped. This allows the operator to readthe actual current and voltage just prior to when welding wasceased. While the display is being held the left-most decimal pointin each display will be flashing. The accuracy of the meters is ± 3%.

12. WELD MODE SELECTOR SWITCH

(Provides three selectable welding modes)

• CV-WIRE

• CC-STICK

• TOUCH START TIG

13. ARC CONTROL

The ARC CONTROL WIRE/STICK knob is active in the WIRE andSTICK modes, and has different functions in these modes. Thiscontrol is not active in the TIG mode.

CC-STICK mode: In this mode, the ARC CONTROL knob sets theshort circuit current (arc-force) during stick welding. Increasingthe number from -10 (Soft) to +10 (Crisp) increases the shortcircuit current and prevents sticking of the electrode to the platewhile welding. This can also increase spatter. It is recommendedthat the ARC CONTROL be set to the minimum number withoutelectrode sticking. Start with a setting at 0.

CV-WIRE mode: In this mode, turning the ARC CONTROL knobfrom -10 (soft) to +10 (crisp) changes the arc from soft andwashed-in to crisp and narrow. It acts as an inductance/pinchcontrol. The proper setting depends on the procedure andoperator preference. Start with a setting of 0.

14. WELDING TERMINALS SWITCH

In the WELD TERMINALS ON position, the output is electricallyhot all the time. In the REMOTELY CONTROLLED position, theoutput is controlled by a wire feeder or amptrol device, and iselectrically off until a remote switch is depressed.

15. WIRE FEEDER VOLTMETER SWITCH

Matches the polarity of the wire feeder voltmeter to the polarity ofthe electrode.

16. 6 - PIN CONNECTOR

For attaching optional remote control equipment. When in the CC-STICK and CV-WIRE modes and when a remote control is connected to the Connector, the auto-sensing circuitautomatically switches the OUTPUT control from control at thewelder to remote control.

When using the TOUCH START TIG mode with a TIG Moduleconnected, the OUTPUT control is used to set the maximumcurrent range of the CURRENT CONTROL on the TIG Module.

17. 14 - PIN CONNECTOR

For attaching wire feeder control cable. Includes contactor closurecircuit, auto-sensing remote control circuit, and 42VAC or 115VACpower. The remote control circuit operates the same as the 6-PinConnector.

What Are VRD & ROCV Devices?VRD’s are gaining popularity as a “must have” safety accessoryespecially where welding applications are being carried out in anenvironment with a high-risk of electric shock such as wet areasand hot humid sweaty conditions.

VRD & ROCV are the abbreviations of two different namingconventions used to describe safety device fitted to weldingpower source to help protect the operator from electric shocks.

VRD stands for ‘Voltage Reduction Device’ and ROCV stands for‘Reduced Open Circuit Voltage’ both devices are either fitted asan after market addition or part of the integral design of amachine. They reduce the voltage at the welding output terminalswhilst not welding to a no load voltage of no more than 35V for dcwelding and for ac welding 35V peak 25Va.c rms, when theresistance of the output circuit is in the ranges of 20-200 (ohms).The lower reactivation resistance is of the device the higher thesafety level but also require that the welding cable connections bekept in good electrical condition.

Having good electrical connections also limit the possibility ofother safety issues such as heat-generated damage, burns andfires.

Welding Power Sources Welding power sources generally have an Open Circuit Voltage(i.e. the voltage at the welding output terminals whilst not welding)in the ranges of 35-115VDC. Welding machines for stick welding(MMAW) and similar constant current (CC mode) processes,supply a higher open circuit voltage between the electrode andthe work when then welding machine is switched on and ready tocommence welding. These welding machine have a droopingcharacteristic, with the open circuit voltage higher (typically 60-80V) than when the arc is established and welding current isdrawn (20-35V).


Welding machines for MIG (GMAW & FCAW) have a flat constantvoltage (CV) characteristic, generally with a lower open circuitvoltage (30-50V). Also, the current is turned on & off by a guntrigger, which also controls the wire feed. Therefore, the welder isnot exposed to open circuit voltage, unless the trigger is turned onand the wire is feeding. Also, electrodes are not changes asfrequently as for stick welding (MMAW).


SafetyThis reduction of the voltage supplies a safer level of voltagewhen an arc is not being struck or when an electrical resistanceless than the welder’s body resistance have been detected. AllVRD’s are only an aid to safety and personal protectiveequipment and safe working practises must be observed at alltimes. The risk of electric shock during welding from a correctlyinstalled and maintained welding machine is negligible, providedthat sensible precautions are taken by the user and correct safeworking procedures are followed. All parts of the output circuitshould be considered electrical alive, and consequently weldersshould ensure that no part of their body is placed in such aposition as would complete a path through it for the passage ofelectric current. Safe working procedures should always befollowed whether a VRD is fitted or not.

VRD Operation Indicator On the front panel of the Vantage 575 are two indicator lights. Ared light when lit indicates voltage >32V and a green light when litindicates voltage <32V.

These lights monitor the OCV at all times. In the CC mode whenthe welding arc has stopped the green light will aluminateindicating that the VRD has reduced the OCV to less than 32V.During welding the red light will aluminate indicating that the OCVis greater than 32V. During welding the red and green light mayflicker on and off. This is normal operation as the welding voltagedepending on the process and type of the electrodes being usedmay produce less than 32V.

Should the red light remain illuminated after stopping welding inthe CC mode. Please refer to your local field service shop forservice.

OperationDue to inherit low voltage safety features of the VRD’s to reducethe possibility of electric shock to the operator.

A very slight delay during striking of the electrodes may beexperienced. The high voltage that is available on units withoutVRD’s allows them to penetrate and burn through dirty, paintedand heavily mill scale plate. Units fitted with VRD’s cannotpenetrate and are required to register the correct resistance,which switches the safety device into weld mode. Unlike otherVRD’s Lincoln uses micro processor control to monitor andestablish the arc without the sticking and shorting of the electrodeto the job as seen in many other VRD installations. Due to therequirement of the resistance in the circuit to be low for a VRD tooperate a good metal-to-metal contact must be made betweenthe metal core of the electrode and the job. Any damagedconnection anywhere in the output circuit may limit the operationof the VRD. This includes a good connection of the work returnclamp and the job. The work return clamp should be connectedclose as practical to where the welding will be performed.

Some electrodes form a cone at the end of the electrode after thewelding arc has been broken, particularly iron powder and lowhydrogen electrodes.

This cone will need to be broken off in order to have the metalcore of the electrode to make contact.

Starting TechniqueThe starting technique that has successfully overcome thisproblem is the push, twist, and peel technique. This techniquerequires the operator to push the electrode into the joint and twist.

The Push and Twist breaks off the cone and allows the metalelectrode to make contact.

The peel and lift of the electrode establishes a controlled start tothe welding arc. Normal welding technique for the application isthen used.


Engine Operation

Starting The Engine1. Open the engine compartment door and check that the fuel

shut off valve located to the left of the fuel filter housing isin the open position (lever to be in line with the hose).

2. Check for proper oil level and coolant level. Close enginecompartment door.

3. Remove all plugs connected to the AC power receptacles.

4. Set IDLER switch to “AUTO”.

5. Set the RUN/STOP switch to “RUN”. Observe that theengine protection and battery charging lights are on. After10 seconds, the engine protection light will turn off.

6. Within 30 seconds, press and hold the engine STARTbutton until the engine starts.

7. Release the engine START button when the engine starts.

8. Check that the engine protection and battery charginglights are off. The engine protection light is on after starting,the engine will shutdown in a few seconds. Investigate anyindicated problem.

9. Allow the engine to warm up at low idle speed for severalminutes before applying a load and/or switching to highidle. Allow a longer warm up time in cold weather.

COLD WEATHER STARTING

With a fully charged battery and the proper weight oil, the engineshould start satisfactorily even down to about -10°C. If the enginemust be frequently started below -40°C, it may be desirable toinstall the optional ether starter kit (K887-1). Installation andoperating instructions are included in the kit.

Stopping The Engine1. Switch the RUN/STOP switch to “STOP”. This turns off the

voltage supplied to the shutdown solenoid. A backupshutdown can be accomplished by shutting off the fuelvalve located on the fuel line.

Running-In PeriodThe engine used to supply power for your welder is a heavy duty,industrial engine. It is designed and built for rugged use. It is verynormal for any engine to use small quantities of oil until the run-in is accomplished. Check the oil level twice a day during therun-in period. In general this takes 50 to 100 hours of operation.

IMPORTANT

In order to accomplish this run-in, the unit should besubjected to heavy loads, within the rating of the machine.Avoid long idle running periods.

Typical Fuel Consumption Refer to Table B.2 for typical fuel consumption of the VantageEngine for various operating scenarios.

Table B.2 Cummins B3.3 Engine Fuel Consumption

Welder Operation

Duty CycleDuty Cycle is the the ratio of the uninterrupted on-load duration to10 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 bya no- load period of 4 minutes.

Stick CC ModeThe Vantage can be used with a broad range of DC stickelectrodes.

The CC-STICK position of the MODE switch is designed forhorizontal, vertical-up and over head welding with all types ofelectrodes, especially low hydrogen. The OUTPUT CONTROLknob adjusts the full output range for stick welding.

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 andprevents sticking of the electrode to the plate while welding. Thiscan also increase spatter. It is recommended that the ARCCONTROL be set to the minimum number without electrodesticking. Start with the knob set at 0.

The Vantage is fitted with a built-in VRD (voltage reductiondevice). The VRD operates in the CC mode reducing the OCV to<13 volts, increasing operator safety when welding is performedin environments with increased hazard of electric shock.

Safe working practises should always be followed, evenwith VRD devices fitted.

CAUTION


Touch Start TIG ModeThe Vantage can be used in a wide variety of DC TIG weldingapplications.

The TOUCH START TIG setting of the MODE switch is for DC TIG(Tungsten Inert Gas) welding. To initiate a weld, the OUTPUTCONTROL knob is first set to the desired current and thetungsten is touched to the work. During the time the tungsten istouching the work there is very little voltage or current and, ingeneral, avoids tungsten contamination. Then, the tungsten isgently lifted off the work in a rocking motion, which establishes thearc.

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

The ARC CONTROL is not active in the TIG mode.

In general the ‘Touch Start’ feature avoids tungsten contaminationwithout the use of a Hi-frequency unit. If the use of a highfrequency generator is desired, the K930-2 TIG Module can beused with the Vantage. The settings are for reference.

The Vantage is equipped with the required R.F. bypass circuitryfor the connection of high frequency generating equipment.

The Vantage and any high frequency generating equipment mustbe properly grounded. See the K930-2 TIG Module operatingmanuals for complete instructions on installation, operation, andmaintenance.

When using the TIG Module, the OUTPUT control on the Vantageis used to set the maximum range of the CURRENT CONTROLon the TIG Module or an Amptrol if connected to the TIG Module.

Vantage Settings When Using The K930-2 TIG Module• Set the WELD MODE switch to the “Touch Start Tig 20-250

Setting”.

• Set the IDLER switch to the “AUTO” position.

• Set the WELDING TERMINALS switch to the “RemotelyControlled” position. This will keep the solid state contactoropen and provide a “cold” electrode until the triggeringdevice (Amptrol or Arc Start Switch) is pressed.

When using the TIG Module, the OUTPUT control on the Vantage575 is used to set the maximum range of the CURRENTCONTROL on the TIG Module or an Amptrol if connected to theTIG Module.

(1) When used with argon gas.The current ranges shown mustbe reduced when using argon/helium or pure heliumshielding gases.

(2) Tungsten electrodes are classified as follows by theAmerican Welding Society (AWS):

Pure EWP

1% Thoriated EWTh-1

2% Thoriated EWTh-2

Though not yet recognised by the AWS, Ceriated Tungstenis now widely accepted as a substitute for 2% ThoriatedTungsten in AC and DC applications.

(3) DCEP is not commonly used in these sizes.

(4) TIG torch nozzle “sizes” are in multiples of 1/16ths of aninch:

# 4 = 1/4 in. 6 mm

# 5 = 5/16 in. 8 mm

# 6 = 3/8 in. 10 mm

# 7 = 7/16 in. 11 mm

# 8 = 1/2 in. 12.5 mm

#10 = 5/8 in. 16 mm

(5) TIG torch nozzles are typically made from aluminaceramic. Special applications may require lava nozzles,which are less prone to breakage, but cannot withstandhigh temperatures and high duty cycles.

CV-Wire ModeConnect a wire feeder to the Vantage and set welder controlsaccording to the instructions listed earlier in this section.

The Vantage in the “CV-WIRE” position, permits it to be used witha broad range of flux cored wire (Innershield and Outershield)electrodes and solid wires for MIG welding (gas metal arcwelding). 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-into crisp and narrow. It acts as an inductance/pinch control. Theproper setting depends on the procedure and operatorpreference. Start with the knob set at 0.

Note: The 42V/115V Wire Feeder voltage switch position mustmatch voltage requirement of Wire Feeder.

For any electrodes, including the above recommendations, theprocedures should be kept within the rating of the machine. Foradditional electrode information, See www.lincolnelectric.com orthe appropriate Lincoln publication.

Arc GougingFor optimal performance when arc gouging, set the Vantage“WELD MODE” switch to the “CC - STICK” position, and the “ARCCONTROL” to 10. Carbon arc gouging in CV mode is notrecommended.

Set the “OUTPUT” knob to adjust output current to the desiredlevel for the gouging electrode being used according to the ratingsin the following table:

* Maximum current setting is limited to the Vantage maximum of575 Amps.

ParallelingWhen paralleling machines in order to combine their outputs, allunits must be operated in the CC-STICK mode only at the sameoutput settings. To achieve this, turn the WELD MODE switch tothe CC-STICK position. Operation in other modes may produceerratic outputs, and large output imbalances between the units.

Auxiliary Power OperationStart the engine and set the IDLER control switch to the desiredoperating mode. Full power is available regardless of the weldingcontrol settings, if no welding current is being drawn.

The auxiliary power of the Vantage consists of two 15 Amp-240Vsingle phase receptacles and one 32amp-415V 3 phasereceptacles.

The auxiliary power capacity is 7,200 watts of 50 Hz, single phasepower or 20,000 watts of 50Hz, three phase power. The auxiliarypower capacity rating in watts is equivalent to volt-amperes atunity power factor. The maximum permissible current of the 415VAC output is 32 A. Output voltage is within ± 10% at all loads upto rated capacity.

NOTE: The 240V receptacles are connected to different phasesand cannot be paralleled.

The auxiliary power receptacles should only be used with threewire, four wire or fire wire earth type plugs or approved doubleinsulated tools with two wire plugs.

The current rating of any plug used with the system must be atleast equal to the current capacity of the associated receptacle.

Simultaneous Welding and Auxiliary Power LoadsIt must be noted that the above auxiliary power ratings are with nowelding load. Simultaneous welding and power loads arespecified in table B.4. The permissible currents shown assumethat current is being drawn from either the 240 VAC or 415 VACsupply (not both at the same time).
