A-4 INST ALLA TION VANTAGE ® 500 A-4 HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION At higher altitudes, output derating may be necessary. For maximum rating, derate the machine 1.0% for every 2000 ft. (610m) up to 6000 ft. (1828m) and 2.0% for every 2000 ft. (610m) over 6000 ft.
The standard muffler included with this welder does not qualify as a spark arrester. When required by local regulations, a suitable spark arrester, such as the K903-1 must be installed and properly maintained. An incorrect spark arrestor may lead to damage to the engine or adversely affect performance.

WELDER OPERA TION DUTY CYCLE Duty Cycle is the percentage of time the load is being applied in a 10 minute period. For example a 60% duty cycle, represents 6 minutes of load and 4 minutes of no load in a 10 minute period. ELECTRODE INFORMATION For any electrode the procedures should be kept with- in the rating of the machine.
When in the TOUCH START TIG mode and when a Amptrol is connected to the 6-Pin connector the OUT- PUT CONTROL dial is used to set the maximum cur- rent range of the current control of the Amptrol. The ARC CONTROL is not active in the TIG mode. To STOP a weld, simply pull the TIG torch away from the work.

D-1 MAINTENANCE D-1 VANTAGE ® 500 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS • Have qualified personnel do all maintenance and troubleshooting work. • Turn the engine off before working inside the machine or servicing the engine. • Remove guards only when necessary to perform maintenance and replace them when the maintenance requiring their removal is complete.
D-2 MAINTENANCE D-2 ENGINE OIL CHANGE Drain the engine oil while the engine is warm to assure rapid and complete draining. It is recommended that each time the oil is changed the oil filter be changed as well. • Be sure the unit is off. Disconnect the negative bat- tery cable to ensure safety.
D-3 MAINTENANCE D-3 VANTAGE ® 500 Unfasten or unlatch the service cover . Because the filter fits tightly over the outlet tube to create the critical seal, there will be some initial resistance, similar to breaking the seal on a jar . Gently move the end of the filter back and forth to break the seal then rotate while pulling straight out.
D-4 MAINTENANCE D-4 COOLING SYSTEM HOT COOLANT can burn skin. • Do not remove cap if radiator is hot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check the coolant level by observing the level in the radiator and recovery bottle.
D-5 MAINTENANCE D-5 FUEL FIL TER 1 . Check the fuel filter and fuel pre-filter for water accumulation or sediment. 2. Replace the fuel filter if it is found with excessive water accumulation or sediment.
D-6 MAINTENANCE D-6 VANTAGE ® 500 GFCI MODULE TESTING AND RESETTING PROCEDURE The GFCI module should be properly tested at least once every month or whenever it is tripped. To properly test and reset the GFCI module: • If the module has tripped, first carefully remove any load and check it for damage.
