Compact, Multi-Process, Excellent Value
The Vantage®400 is one of the most compact 400 amp engine-driven welder/
generators in the construction, pipe or rental fleet market today. It’s also one of
the most quiet, with a smooth running 4-cylinder Perkins®diesel engine. Use this
multi-process welder for arc gouging with up to 5/16" carbons, stick welding with
up to 1/4" electrodes and CV wire welding with up to 3/32" wire. You’ll value the
superior arc performance delivered by Lincoln Chopper Technology
also appreciate VRD™(Voltage Reduction Device™), which reduces OCV (open
circuit voltage) in the CC-Stick weld mode for added safety.
This model efficiency generates 19,000 watts (peak) of 3-phase or 12,000 watts
of 1-phase AC generator power for your lights, grinders and power tools. And, it's
housed in a rugged, low maintenance stainless steel enclosure and loaded with
many innovative service features. That all totals up to an excellent value!

WHAT IS VRD™?
The VRD™(Voltage Reduction Device™) provides additional safety in the
CC-Stick weld mode, especially when working in an environment with a
higher risk of electrical shock such as wet areas and hot, humid sweaty
conditions. The VRD
output terminals while not welding to less than 32 volts DC.
The VRD™is activated by flipping a toggle switch inside the machine to the
“ON” position. Indicator lights monitor the voltage: green for less than 32
volts while not welding, and either red (greater than 32 volts) or green while
welding, depending on the actual voltage of the arc.

• CC-Stick mode is optimized for general purpose stick using
E7018 low hydrogen electrode.
• Built-in “hot” start for easier starts and restrikes minimizing the
electrode “sticking” to the work.
• Downhill pipe mode with active arc force control - enhanced
downhill pipe welding mode. Excellent for cellulosic electrodes.
Fast travel speeds, especially on fill passes. Arc control adjustment for a soft, buttery arc or a more forceful digging arc.
• Standard Touch-Start DC TIG

welding, not scratch start, for easy
arc starting that avoids tungsten contamination and the use of
high-frequency equipment.
WHAT IS TOUCH-START TIG®?
Touch-Start TIG®uses a very low voltage to sense when the tip of
he tungsten electrode is touched to the work piece. When this
t
occurs, a complete circuit is established. When the tungsten is then
aised from the work piece, the circuit senses a change in voltage
r
and initiates the appropriate welding current and voltage to support
he TIG welding process.

Generator Performance
• 3-Phase 240V AC generator power rated at 19 kW peak (17 kW
continuous) output to power industrial equipment such as
a plasma cutter, pump or inverter welder. Simultaneously weld
and use 3-Phase AC power - for example, up to 9,400 watts can
be delivered while welding at 300 amps. Compare to competitive
product which has 3-Phase power available as an extra-cost factory-only option.
• 3-Phase 240V receptacle on control panel eliminates the need to
hard-wire the connections.
®
• The Vantage
400 provides added value at the job site by delivering up to 12 kW peak (11 kW continuous) watts of 1-Phase AC
auxiliary power for equipment such as a Lincoln plasma cutter.
Also use for lights, grinders and other common construction
tools. And, you can simultaneously weld and have access to AC
power – 4,700 watts can be delivered while welding at 300 amps.
• AC generator voltage is constant at 120V or 240V at any weld
dial setting.
• Two 120V GFCI duplex receptacles.
• All receptacles are circuit breaker protected and have weather
protective covers.
