engine accelerates and operates at full
speed.
•
When welding stops or the AC power load
is turned off, the engine will continue at full
speed for approximately 12 seconds and
then go to low idle speed.

18. Engine Protection Light: Warning light for Low Oil
Pressure and/or Coolant Over Temperature. The
light is off when the systems are functioning
properly. The light will come on and the engine will
shutdown when there is Low Oil Pressure and/or the
Coolant is Over Temperature.
Note: The light remains off when the RUN-STOP
switch is in the "ON" position prior to starting the
engine. However if the engine is not started within
60 seconds the light will come on. When this
happens the RUN-STOP switch must be returned to
the "OFF" position to reset the engine protection
system and light.
19. Battery Charging Light: Warning indicator light for
Low/No battery charge. The light is off when the
systems are functioning properly. The light will
come on if there is a Low/No battery condition but
the machine will continue to run.

Starting The Engine

•
Remove all plugs connected to the AC power
receptacles.
•
Set IDLER switch to AUTO.
•
Press Glow Plug Button and hold 15 to 20 seconds.
• Set the RUN/STOP switch to RUN.
•
Press START button until the engine starts or for up
to 10 seconds. Continue to hold the glow plug
button for up to an additional 10 seconds.
• Release the engine START button immediately
when the engine starts.
•
Allow the engine to warm up at low idle for several
minutes before applying a load and/or switching to
high idle. Allow a longer warm up time in cold
weather.

Stopping The Engine

Remove all welding and auxiliary power loads and allow
the engine to run at low idle speed for a few minutes to
cool the engine.
STOP the engine by placing the RUN-STOP switch in
the STOP position.
Note: A fuel shut off valve is located on the fuel pre-
filter.
Connection of LINCOLN ELECTRIC
Wire Feeders
1. Shut the welder off.
2. Connect the electrode cable to the "+" or "-" terminal
of the welder following desired electrode (wire)
polarity.
3. Across The-Arc Model:
•
Attach the single lead with spring clip from the
front of the wire feeder to work. This lead
supplies current to the wire feeder motor.
•
Set the "WELD TERMINALS" switch to "WELD
TERMINALS ON".
4. Control Cable Model:
•
Connect Control Cable between Engine Welder
and Wire Feeder.
• Set the "WELD TERMINALS" switch to
"REMOTELY CONTROLLED".
•
Set the MODE switch to the "CV-WIRE"
position.
• Set the "WIRE FEEDER VOLTMETER" switch
to either "+" or "-" as required by the electrode
polarity being used.
•
Set the "ARC CONTROL" knob to "0" initially
and adjust to suit.
•
Set the "IDLE" switch to the "AUTO" position.
5. When the gun trigger is closed, the current sensing
circuit will cause the VANTAGE engine to go to the
high idle speed, the wire will begin to feed and the
welding process starts. When welding is stopped,
the engine will revert to low idle speed after
approximately 12 seconds unless welding is
resumed.

Auxiliary Power

Start the engine and set the IDLER control switch to the
desired operating mode. Full power is available
regardless of the welding control settings providing no
welding current is being drawn.
Simultaneous Welding and Auxiliary Power
Loads
The auxiliary power ratings are with no welding load.
Simultaneous welding and power loads are specified in
