VANTAGE® 500
IMPORTANT: To prevent ELECTRICAL DAMAGE
WHEN:
a) Installing new batteries
b) Using a booster
Use correct polarity — Negative Ground.
The Vantage® 500 is shipped with the negative battery
cable disconnected. Before you operate the machine,
make sure the Engine Switch is in the OFF position
and attach the disconnected cable securely to the neg-
ative (-) battery terminal.
Remove the insulating cap from the negative battery
terminal. Replace and tighten the negative battery
cable terminal.
NOTE: This machine is furnished with a wet charged
battery; if unused for several months, the bat-
tery may require a booster charge. Be sure to
use the correct polarity when charging the bat-
tery.
MUFFLER OUTLET PIPE
Remove the plastic plug covering the muffler outlet
tube. Using the clamp provided, secure the outlet pipe
to the outlet tube with the pipe positioned to direct the
exhaust in the desired direction.
SPARK ARRESTER
Some federal, state or local laws may require that
gasoline or diesel engines be equipped with exhaust
spark arresters when they are operated in certain loca-
tions where unarrested sparks may present a fire haz-
ard. The standard muffler included with this welder
does not qualify as a spark arrester. When required by
local regulations, a suitable spark arrester must be
installed and properly maintained.
An incorrect arrester may lead to damage to the
engine or adversely affect performance.
HIGH FREQUENCY GENERATORS
FOR TIG APPLICATIONS
The K799 Hi-Freq Unit (obsolete) and the K930-1 or-2
TIG Module are suitable for use with the Vantage®
500. The Vantage 500 is equipped with the required
R.F. bypass circuitry for the connection of high fre-
quency generating equipment. The high frequency
bypass network supplied with the K799 Hi-Freq Unit
does NOT need to be installed into the Vantage 500.
The Vantage® 500 and any high frequency generating
equipment must be properly grounded. See the K799
Hi-Freq Unit and the K930-1 or-2 TIG Module operat-
ing manuals for complete instructions on installation,
operation, and maintenance.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
REMOTE CONTROL
The Vantage® 500 is equipped with a 6-pin and a 14-
pin connector. The 6-pin connector is for connecting
the K857 or K857-1 Remote Control (optional) or, in the
case of TIG welding applications, with the foot or hand
Amptrol (K870 or K963-1 respectively).
The 14-pin connector is used to directly connect a wire
feeder or TIG Module (K930-1 or-2) control cable.
NOTE: When using the 14-pin connector, if the wire
feeder has a built-in power source output con-
trol, do not connect anything to the 6-pin con-
nector.
WELDING TERMINALS
The Vantage® 500 is equipped with a toggle switch for
selecting "hot" welding terminals when in the "WELD
TERMINALS ON" position or "cold" welding terminals
when in the "WELDING TERMINALS REMOTELY
CONTROLLED" position.
