The Above For Gasoline Engines
FOR ENGINE
powered equipment.
1.a. Turn the engine off before troubleshooting and maintenance
work unless the maintenance work requires it to be running.
1.c. Do not add the fuel near an open flame
welding arc or when the engine is running.
Stop the engine and allow it to cool before
refueling to prevent spilled fuel from vaporizing on contact with hot engine parts and
igniting. Do not spill fuel when filling tank. If
fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not start
engine until fumes have been eliminated.
1.d. Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and devices in
position and in good repair.Keep hands, hair, clothing and
tools away from V-belts, gears, fans and all other moving
parts when starting, operating or repairing equipment.
1.e. In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety
guards to perform required maintenance. Remove
guards only when necessary and replace them when the
maintenance requiring their removal is complete.
Always use the greatest care when working near moving
parts.
1.f. Do not put your hands near the engine fan.
Do not attempt to override the governor or
idler by pushing on the throttle control rods
while the engine is running.
1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the
radiator pressure cap when the engine is
hot.
ELECTRIC AND
MAGNETIC FIELDS
may be dangerous
2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes
localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding
current creates EMF fields around welding cables and
welding machines
2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and
welders having a pacemaker should consult their physician
before welding.
2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health
effects which are now not known.
2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order to
minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:
2.d.1.
Route the electrode and work cables together - Secure
them with tape when possible.
2.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.
2.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode and
work cables. If the electrode cable is on your right
side, the work cable should also be on your right side.
1.g. To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines while
turning the engine or welding generator during maintenance
work, disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap or
magneto wire as appropriate.
2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as
possible to the area being welded.
2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.

3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits
are electrically “hot” when the welder is on.
Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare
gloves to insulate hands.
3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.
Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full
area of physical contact with work and ground.
In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding
must be performed under electrically hazardous
conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet
clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings or
scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,
kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or
accidental contact with the workpiece or ground) use
the following equipment:
• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.
• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.
• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.
3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,
electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic
welding gun are also electrically “hot”.
3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical
connection with the metal being welded. The connection
should be as close as possible to the area being welded.
3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical
(earth) ground.
3.f.
Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and
welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace
damaged insulation.
3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of
electrode holders connected to two welders because voltage
between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage
of both welders.
3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect
yourself from a fall should you get a shock.

the rays of the arc when welding or observing
open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens
should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.
4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant
material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from
the arc rays.
4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable
screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose
themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.
FUMES AND GASES
can be dangerous.
5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases
hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these
fumes and gases. When welding, keep
your head out of the fume. Use enough
fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When
welding with electrodes which require special
ventilation such as stainless or hard facing (see
instructions on container or MSDS) or on lead or
cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings
which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as
low as possible and within applicable OSHA PEL and
ACGIH TLV limits using local exhaust or mechanical
ventilation. In confined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a respirator may be required.
Additional precautions are also required when welding
on galvanized steel.
5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected
by various factors including proper use and positioning of
the equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the specific welding procedure and application involved. Worker
exposure level should be checked upon installation and
periodically thereafter to be certain it is within applicable
OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits.
5.c.
Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon
coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.
The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors
form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ
Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructions
et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans ce
manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suivantes:
Sûreté Pour Soudage A LʼArc
1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:
a. Les circuits à lʼélectrode et à la piéce sont sous tension
quand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujours
tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue
ou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sans
trous pour isoler les mains.
b. Faire trés attention de bien sʼisoler de la masse quand on
soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher
metallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans
les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grande
partie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.
c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câble
de soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr état
defonctionnement.
d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans lʼeau pour le
refroidir.
e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension
des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souder
parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être le
total de la tension à vide des deux machines.
f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source de
courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions
pour le porte-électrode sʼapplicuent aussi au pistolet de
soudage.
6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de
prévenir tout risque dʼincendie dû aux étincelles.
7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé de
la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un
échauffement et un risque dʼincendie.
8. Sʼassurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible
de la zone de travail quʼil est pratique de le faire. Si on place
la masse sur la charpente de la construction ou dʼautres
endroits éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque
de voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de levage, câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer
des risques dʼincendie ou dʼechauffement des chaines et des
câbles jusquʼà ce quʼils se rompent.
9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.
Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôles
galvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal qui
produit des fumeés toxiques.
10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenant
dʼopérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La
chaleur ou les rayons de lʼarc peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs
du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique)
ou autres produits irritants.
11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté,
voir le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSA
Standard W 117.2-1974.
2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protéger
contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamais
enrouler le câble-électrode autour de nʼimporte quelle partie
du corps.
3. Un coup dʼarc peut être plus sévère quʼun coup de soliel,
donc:
a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié
ainsi quʼun verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du rayonnement de lʼarc et des projections quand on soude ou
quand on regarde lʼarc.
b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la
peau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de
lʻarc.
c. Protéger lʼautre personnel travaillant à proximité au
soudage à lʼaide dʼécrans appropriés et non-inflammables.
4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de lʼarc de
soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres
de lʼhuile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pantalons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.
5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de
soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les
zones où lʼon pique le laitier.
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR
LES MACHINES À SOUDER À
TRANSFORMATEUR ET À
REDRESSEUR
1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code de
lʼélectricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositif
de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à une
bonne mise à la terre.
2. Autant que possible, Iʼinstallation et lʼentretien du poste seront
effectués par un électricien qualifié.
3. Avant de faires des travaux à lʼinterieur de poste, la debrancher à lʼinterrupteur à la boite de fusibles.
4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur
place.

SAFETY
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Conformance
Products displaying the CE mark are in conformity with European Community Council Directive of 15 Dec
2004 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility,
2004/108/EC. It was manufactured in conformity with a national standard that implements a harmonized
standard: EN 60974-10 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Product Standard for Arc Welding Equipment.
It is for use with other Lincoln Electric equipment. It is designed for industrial and professional use.
Introduction
All electrical equipment generates small amounts of electromagnetic emission. Electrical emission may be
transmitted through power lines or radiated through space, similar to a radio transmitter. When emissions
are received by other equipment, electrical interference may result. Electrical emissions may affect many
kinds of electrical equipment; other nearby welding equipment, radio and TV reception, numerical controlled
machines, telephone systems, computers, etc. Be aware that interference may result and extra precautions
may be required when a welding power source is used in a domestic establishment.
Installation and Use
The user is responsible for installing and using the welding equipment according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. If electromagnetic disturbances are detected then it shall be the responsibility of the user of the
welding equipment to resolve the situation with the technical assistance of the manufacturer. In some cases
this remedial action may be as simple as earthing (grounding) the welding circuit, see Note. In other cases it
could involve construction of an electromagnetic screen enclosing the power source and the work complete
with associated input filters. In all cases electromagnetic disturbances must be reduced to the point where
they are no longer troublesome.
v
Note: The welding circuit may or may not be earthed for safety reasons according to national codes.
Changing the earthing arrangements should only be authorized by a person who is competent to access whether the changes will increase the risk of injury, e.g., by allowing parallel
welding current return paths which may damage the earth circuits of other equipment.
Assessment of Area
Before installing welding equipment the user shall make an assessment of potential electromagnetic problems in the surrounding area. The following shall be taken into account:
a) other supply cables, control cables, signaling and telephone cables; above, below and adjacent to the
welding equipment;
b) radio and television transmitters and receivers;
c) computer and other control equipment;
d) safety critical equipment, e.g., guarding of industrial equipment;
e) the health of the people around, e.g., the use of pacemakers and hearing aids;
f) equipment used for calibration or measurement
g) the immunity of other equipment in the environment. The user shall ensure that other equipment being
used in the environment is compatible. This may require additional protection measures;
h) the time of day that welding or other activities are to be carried out.

SAFETY
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The size of the surrounding area to be considered will depend on the structure of the building and other
activities that are taking place. The surrounding area may extend beyond the boundaries of the premises.
Methods of Reducing Emissions
Mains Supply
Welding equipment should be connected to the mains supply according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. If interference occurs, it may be necessary to take additional precautions such as filtering of the mains
supply. Consideration should be given to shielding the supply cable of permanently installed welding equipment, in metallic conduit or equivalent. Shielding should be electrically continuous throughout its length. The
shielding should be connected to the welding power source so that good electrical contact is maintained
between the conduit and the welding power source enclosure.
Maintenance of the Welding Equipment
The welding equipment should be routinely maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
All access and service doors and covers should be closed and properly fastened when the welding equipment is in operation. The welding equipment should not be modified in any way except for those changes
and adjustments covered in the manufacturers instructions. In particular, the spark gaps of arc striking and
stabilizing devices should be adjusted and maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
vi
Welding Cables
The welding cables should be kept as short as possible and should be positioned close together, running at
or close to floor level.
Equipotential Bonding
Bonding of all metallic components in the welding installation and adjacent to it should be considered.
However, metallic components bonded to the work piece will increase the risk that the operator could
receive a shock by touching these metallic components and the electrode at the same time. The operator
should be insulated from all such bonded metallic components.
Earthing of the Workpiece
Where the workpiece is not bonded to earth for electrical safety, not connected to earth because of its size
and position, e.g., ships hull or building steelwork, a connection bonding the workpiece to earth may reduce
emissions in some, but not all instances. Care should be taken to prevent the earthing of the workpiece
increasing the risk of injury to users, or damage to other electrical equipment. Where necessary, the connection of the workpiece to earth should be made by a direct connection to the workpiece, but in some countries
where direct connection is not permitted, the bonding should be achieved by suitable capacitance, selected
according to national regulations.
Screening and Shielding
Selective screening and shielding of other cables and equipment in the surrounding area may alleviate problems of interference. Screening of the entire welding installation may be considered for special
applications

FIGURE A.1
Do not attempt to use this equipment until you
have thoroughly read the engine manufacturerʼs
manual supplied with your welder. It includes
important safety precautions, detailed engine
starting, operating and maintenance instructions,
and parts lists.
Only qualified personnel should install,
use, or service this equipment.
VRD (VOLTAGE REDUCTION DEVICE)
The VRD feature provides additional safety in the CC-Stick
mode especially in an environment with a higher risk of
electric shock such as wet areas and hot humid sweaty conditions.
The VRD reduces the OCV (Open Circuit Voltage) at the
welding output terminals while not welding to less than 30V
DC when the resistance of the output circuit is above 200Ω
(ohms).
The VRD requires that the welding cable connections be
kept in good electrical condition because poor connections
will contribute to poor starting. Having good electrical connections also limits the possibility of other safety issues
such as heat-generated damage, burns and fires.
The machine is shipped with the VRD switch in the “Off”
position. To turn it “On” or “Off”:
• Turn the engine “Off”.
• Disconnect the negative battery cable.
• Lower the control panel by removing 4 front panel
screws. (See Figure A.1)
• Place the VRD switch in the “On or “Off” position.

WELDING TERMINALS
The AIR VANTAGE® 650 CUMMINS 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 "REMOTELY
CONTROLLED" position.
MACHINE GROUNDING
Because this portable engine driven welder creates its
own power, 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
to which this engine driven welder supplies power
must:
WARNING
• Be grounded to the frame of the welder using a
grounded type plug or be double insulated.
• Do not ground the machine to a pipe that carries
explosive or combustible material.
When this welder is mounted on a truck or trailer, its
frame must be securely connected to the metal frame
of the vehicle. When this engine driven welder is connected to premises wiring such as that in a home or
shop, its frame must be connected to the system earth
ground. See further connection instructions in the section entitled “Standby Power Connections” as well as
the article on grounding in the latest National
Electrical Code and the local codes.
WELDING OUTPUT CABLES
With the engine off, route the electrode and work
cables thru the strain relief bracket provided on the
front of the base and connect to the terminals provided. These connections should be checked periodically
and tightened if necessary.
AIR VANTAGE® 650 CUMMINS
In general, if the machine is to be grounded, it should
be connected with a #8 or larger copper wire to a solid
earth ground such as a metal ground stake going into
the ground for at least 10 Feet or to the metal framework of a building which has been effectively grounded.
The National Electric Code lists a number of alternate
means of grounding electrical equipment. A machine
grounding stud marked with the symbol is provided
on the front of the welder.

REMOTE CONTROL
The AIR VANTAGE® 650 CUMMINS 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 or
for TIG welding, the K870 foot Amptrol or the K963-3
hand Amptrol. When in the CC-STICK, ARC GOUGING or CV-WIRE modes and when a remote control is
connected to the 6-pin Connector, the auto-sensing
circuit automatically switches the OUTPUT control
from control at the welder to remote control.
When in TOUCH START TIG mode and when a
Amptrol is connected to the 6-Pin Connector, the
OUTPUT dial is used to set the maximum current
range of the CURRENT CONTROL of the Amptrol.
When in the DOWNHILL PIPE mode and when a
remote control is connected to the 6-Pin or 14-Pin
connector, the output control is used to set the maximum current range of the remote.
EXAMPLE: When the OUTPUT CONTROL on the
welder is set to 200 amps the current range on the
remote control will be 40-200 amps, rather than the
full 40-300 amps. Any current range that is less than
the full range provides finer current resolution for more
fine tuning of the output.
AUXILIARY POWER RECEPTACLES
Start the engine and set the “IDLER” control switch to the
“High Idle” mode. Voltage is now correct at the receptacles for auxiliary power. This must be done before a
tripped GFCI can be reset properly. See the MAINTENANCE section for more detailed information on testing
and resetting the GFCI.
The auxiliary power of the AIR VANTAGE® 650 CUMMINS consists of two 20 Amp-120 VAC (5-20R)
duplex with GFCI protection, one 50 Amp 120/240
VAC (14-50R) receptacle and one 50 Amp 240VAC
Three-Phase (15-50R) receptacle.
The auxiliary power capacity is 12,000 Watts
Continuous of 60 Hz, single phase power. The auxiliary power capacity rating in watts is equivalent to
volt-amperes at unity power factor. The max permissible current of the 240 VAC output is 50 amps.
The 240 VAC output can be split to provide two separate 120 VAC outputs with a max permissible current
of 50 Amps per output to two separate 120 VAC
branch circuits (these circuits cannot be paralleled).
Output voltage is within ± 10% at all loads up to rated
capacity.
In the CV-WIRE mode, if the feeder being used has a
voltage control when the wire feeder control cable is
connected to the 14-Pin Connector, the auto-sensing
circuit automatically makes OUTPUT CONTROL inactive and the wire feeder voltage control active.
Otherwise, the OUTPUT CONTROL is used to preset
the voltage.
The 14-pin connector is used to directly connect a
wire feeder control cable. In the CV-WIRE mode,
when the control cable is connected to the 14-pin connector, the auto-sensing circuit automatically makes
the Output Control inactive and the wire feeder voltage control active.
WARNING
NOTE: When a wire feeder with a built in welding
voltage control is connected to the 14-pin connector, do not connect anything to the 6-pin connector.
The Three-Phases auxiliary power capacity is 20,000
watts continuous. The maximum current is 48 amps.
120 V DUPLEX RECEPTACLE AND GFCI
A GFCI protects the two 120V auxiliary power.
A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is a device to
protect against electric shock should a piece of defective
equipment connected to it develop a ground fault. If this
situation should occur, the GFCI will trip, removing voltage from the output of the receptacle. If a GFCI is tripped
see the MAINTENANCE section for detailed information
on testing and resetting it. A GFCI should be properly
tested at least once every month.
The 120 V auxiliary power receptacles should only be
used with three wire grounded type plugs or approved
double insulated tools with two wire plugs. The current
rating of any plug used with the system must be at
least equal to the current capacity of the associated
receptacle.
AIR VANTAGE® 650 CUMMINS
Page 17
A-7
NOTE: The 240 V receptacle has two 120 V circuits, but
are of opposite polarities and cannot be paralleled.
All auxiliary power is protected by circuit breakers. The
120V has 20 Amp circuit breakers for each duplex receptacle. The 120/240V Single Phase and the 240V ThreePhases have a 50 Amp 3-pole Circuit Breaker that disconnects both hot leads and all Three Phases simultaneously.

WELDING CONTROLS (Figure B.1)
1. OUTPUT CONTROL-
used to preset the output voltage or current as displayed on the digital meters for the five welding
modes. When in the ARC GOUGING or CV-WIRE
modes and when a remote control is connected to
the 6-Pin or 14-Pin Connector, the auto-sensing circuit automatically switches the OUTPUT CONTROL
from control at the welder to the remote control.
When in DOWNHILL PIPE and CC-STICK modes if
a remote control is connected to the 6-Pin or 14 Pin
Connectors, the output is controlled by the remote
and the output control on the machine is used to set
the maximum current range for the remote.
EXAMPLE: When the OUTPUT CONTROL on the
welder is set to 200 amps the current range on the
remote control will be MIN-200 amps, rather than the
full MIN-MAX amps. Any current range that is less than
the full range provides finer current resolution for more
fine tuning of the output.
In the CV-WIRE mode, if the feeder being used has
a voltage control when the wire feeder control cable
is connected to the 14-Pin Connector, the autosensing circuit automatically makes OUTPUT CONTROL inactive and the wire feeder voltage control
active. Otherwise, the OUTPUT CONTROL is used
to preset the voltage

Amptrol.
2.
DIGITAL OUTPUT METERS-
The digital
meters allow the output voltage (CV-WIRE mode)
or current (CC-STICK, DOWNHILL PIPE, ARC
GOUGING and TIG modes) to be set prior to welding using the OUTPUT control dial. During welding,
the meter display the actual output voltage
(VOLTS) and current (AMPS). A memory feature
holds the display of both meters on for seven seconds after welding is stopped. This allows the operator to read the actual current and voltage just prior
to when welding was ceased.
While the display is being held the left-most decimal point in each display will be flashing. The
accuracy of the meters is +/- 3%.
the CV-WIRE, CC-STICK and DOWNHILL PIPE modes,
and has different functions in these modes. This control is
not active in the TIG and ARC GOUGING mode.
CC-STICK mode: In this mode, the ARC CONTROL dial
sets the short circuit current (arc-force) during stick welding to adjust for a soft or crisp arc. Increasing the dial from
–10 (soft) to +10 (crisp) increases the short circuit current
11. WIRE FEEDER VOLTMETER SWITCH:
and prevents sticking of the electrode to the plate while
welding. This can also increase spatter. It is recommended that the ARC CONTROL be set to the minimum number
without electrode sticking. Start with a setting at 0.
12. VRD (Voltage Reduction Device) INDICA-
DOWNHILL PIPE mode: In this mode, the ARC CON-
TROL dial sets the short circuit current (arc-force) during
stick welding to adjust for a soft or a more forceful digging
arc (crisp). Increasing the number from –10 (soft) to +10
(crisp) increases the short circuit current which results in a
more forceful digging arc. Typically a forceful digging arc is
preferred for root and hot passes. A softer arc is preferred
for fill and cap passes where weld puddle control and deposition ("stacking" of iron) are key to fast travel speeds. It is
recommended that the ARC CONTROL be set initially at 0.
CV-WIRE mode: In this mode, turning the ARC CONTROL
clock wise from –10 (soft) to +10 (crisp) changes the arc
from soft and washed-in to crisp and narrow. It acts as an
inductance/pinch control. The proper setting depends on
the procedure and operator preference. Start with a setting
of 0.

• When switched from HIGH to AUTO or after
starting the engine, the engine will operate at full
speed for approximately 12 seconds and then go
to low idle speed.
• When the electrode touches the work or power is
drawn for lights or tools (approximately 100
Watts minimum), the engine accelerates and
operates at full speed.
• When welding ceases or the AC power load is
turned off, a fixed time delay of approximately 12
seconds starts. If the welding or AC power load
is not restarted before the end of the time delay,
the idler reduces the engine speed to low idle
speed.

STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Open the engine compartment door and check that
the fuel shutoff valve located to the left of the fuel
filter housing is in the open position (lever to be in
line with the hose).
2. Make sure battery disconnect switch is in the on
position.
3. Check for proper oil level and coolant level. Close
engine compartment door.
4. Remove all plugs connected to the AC power
receptacles.
5. Set IDLER switch to “AUTO”.
6. Set the RUN/STOP switch to “RUN”. Observe that
the engine protection and battery charging lights
are on.
6a.
Press Glow Plug Button and hold 15 to 20 seconds.
7.
Press START button until the engine starts or for up to 10
seconds.
8. Release the engine START button when the engine
starts.
9. Check that the engine protection and battery charg-
ing lights are off. If the engine protection light is on
after starting, the engine will shutdown in a few seconds. Investigate any indicated problem.
10. Allow the engine to warm up at low idle speed for
several minutes before applying a load and/or
switching to high idle. Allow a longer warm up time
in cold weather.
COLD WEATHER STARTING
With a fully charged battery and the proper weight oil,
the engine should start satisfactorily even down to
about 0°F(-18°C). If the engine must be frequently
started below 10°(-12°C), it may be desirable to install
the optional ether start kit (K887-1). For extreme cold
conditions it may be desirable to install additional
equipment such as a block heater or oil pan pad
heater, etcetera.
1. Switch the RUN/STOP switch to “STOP”. This turns
off the voltage supplied to the shutdown solenoid. A
backup shutdown can be accomplished by shutting
off the fuel valve located on the fuel line.

broad range of DC stick electrodes. The MODE switch
provides two stick welding settings as follows:
CONSTANT CURRENT (CC-STICK)
WELDING
The CC-STICK position of the MODE switch is designed
for horizontal and vertical-up welding with all types of
electrodes, especially low hydrogen.
The ARC CONTROL dial sets the short circuit current (arcforce) during stick welding to adjust for a soft or crisp arc.
Increasing the number from -10(soft) to +10(crisp) increases the short circuit current and prevents sticking of the
electrode to the plate while welding. This can also increase
spatter. It is recommended that the ARC CONTROL be set
to the minimum number without electrode sticking. Start
with the dial set at 0.
NOTE: Due to the low OCV with the VRD on, a very
slight delay during striking of the electrodes may
occur. Due to the requirement of the resistance in the
circuit to be low for a VRD to operate, a good metalto-metal contact must be made between the metal
core of the electrode and the job. A poor connection
anywhere in the welding output circuit may limit the
operation of the VRD. This includes a good connection of the work clamp to the job. The work clamp
should be connected as close as practical to where
the welding will be performed.
can be used with a
B. For Re-Striking Electrodes
Some electrodes form a cone at the end of the electrode after the welding arc has been broken, particularly iron powder and low hydrogen electrodes. This
cone will need to be broken off in order to have the
metal core of the electrode make contact.
E6010 - Push, Twist in Joint, Lift
E7018, E7024 - Push, Rock Back and Forth in Joint, Lift.
Once the arc is started, normal welding technique for
the application is then used.
For other electrodes the above techniques should be
tried first and varied as needed to suit operator preference. The goal for successful starting is good metal to
metal contact.
For indicator light operation, see Table B.1.
DOWNHILL PIPE Welding
This slope controlled setting is intended for "out-of-position" and "down hill" pipe welding where the operator
would like to control the current level by changing the arc
length.
The ARC CONTROL dial sets the short circuit current
(arc-force) during stick welding to adjust for a soft or
more forceful digging arc (crisp). Increasing the number
from -10(soft) to +10(crisp) increases the short circuit
current which results in a more forceful digging arc.
Typically a forceful digging arc is preferred for root and
hot passes. A softer arc is preferred for fill and cap passes where weld puddle control and deposition (“stacking”
of iron) are key to fast travel speeds. This can also
increase spatter.
It is recommended that the ARC CONTROL be set to the
minimum number without electrode sticking. Start with
the dial set at 0.
NOTE: With the VRD switch in the “ON” position (See
figure A.1 for location) there is no output in the DOWNHILL PIPE mode.

OPERATION
TIG WELDING
The TOUCH START TIG setting of the MODE switch
is for DC TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding. To initiate
a weld, the OUTPUT CONTROL dial is first set to the
desired current and the tungsten is touched to the
work. During the time the tungsten is touching the
work there is very little voltage or current and, in general, no tungsten contamination. Then, the tungsten is
gently lifted off the work in a rocking motion, which
establishes the arc.

mode, permits it to be used with a broad range of flux
cored wire (Innershield and Outershield) electrodes
and solid wires for MIG welding (gas metal arc welding). 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-in to crisp and narrow. It acts as an inductance/pinch control. The proper setting depends on
the procedure and operator preference. Start with the
dial set at 0.
650 CUMMINS in the CV-WIRE
ARC GOUGING
The AIR VANTAGE® 650 CUMMINS can be used for
arc gouging. The minimum output in the arc gouging
mode is 200 Amps. For arc gouging below 200 Amps
use the CC-Stick Mode. For optimal performance, set
the MODE per TABLE B.4
The maximum output control range setting is automatically increased in the gouging mode, when the compressor is not turned on. The maximum preset readout on the weld ammeter will increase from approximately 700 Amps to 800 Amps. This feature provides
extra capacity by taking advantage of the available
engine HP when the internal compressor is not on and
an external air supply is used for gouging.
PARALLELING
When paralleling machines in order to combine their
outputs, all units must be operated in the CC-STICK
mode only at the same output settings. To achieve
this, turn the WELD MODE switch to the CC-STICK
position. Operation in other modes may produce erratic outputs, and large output imbalances between the
units.
Set the OUTPUT CONTROL knob to adjust output
current to the desired level for the gouging electrode
being used according to the ratings in the following

The ARC CONTROL is not active in the ARC GOUGING Mode. The ARC CONTROL is automatically set
to maximum when the ARC GOUGING mode is
selected which provides the best ARC GOUGING performance.
If a GFCI is tripped, See the MAINTENANCE section
for detailed information on testing and resetting the
GFCI.
Start the engine and set the IDLER control switch to
the desired operating mode. Full power is available
regardless of the welding control settings, if no welding current is being drawn.

MINS consists of two 20 Amp-120VAC single phase
(5-20R) GFCIʼs, one 50 Amp-120/240VAC single
phase (14-50R) receptacle and one 50 Amp 240VAC
three phase (15-50R) receptacle. The 120/240VAC
receptacle can be split for single phase 120 VAC
operation.
The auxiliary power capacity is 12,000 watts of 60 Hz,
single phase power or 20,000 watts of 60Hz, three

B-11
NOTE: The two 120V GFCIʼs and the two 120V circuits of the 120/240V receptacle are connected to different phases and cannot

The auxiliary power receptacles should only be used
with three wire grounded type plugs or approved double insulated tools with two wire plugs.
The current rating of any plug used with the system
must be at least equal to the current capacity of the
associated receptacle.
SIMULTANEOUS WELDING AND AUXILIARY POWER LOADS
It must be noted that the above auxiliary power ratings
are with no welding load.
Simultaneous welding and power loads are specified
in table B.5.
The auxiliary power capacity rating in watts is equivalent to volt-amperes at unity power factor. The maximum permissible current of the 240 VAC output is 50
Amps. The 240 VAC single phase output can be split
to provide two separate 120 VAC outputs with a maximum permissible current of 50 Amps per output to two
separate 120 VAC branch circuits. Output voltage is
within ± 10% at all loads up to rated capacity.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
• 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. If guards are missing from the
machine, obtain replacements from a Lincoln
Distributor. (See Operating Manual Parts List.)
Read the Safety Precautions in the front of this
manual and in the Engine Ownerʼs Manual before
working on this machine.
Keep all equipment safety guards, covers, and
devices in position and in good repair. Keep
hands, hair, clothing, and tools away from the
gears, fans, and all other moving parts when
starting, operating, or repairing the equipment.
• Refill the fuel tank to minimize moisture condensation in the tank.
• Open the water drain valve located on the bottom of
the water separator element 1 or 2 turns and allow
to drain into a container suitable for diesel fuel for 2
to 3 seconds. Repeat the above drainage procedure

Remove the Filter
Unfasten or unlatch the
service cover. Because
the filter fits tightly over the
outlet tube to create the critical seal, there will
Rotate the
filter while
pulling
straight out.
If your air cleaner has a safety filter, replace it every third primary
filter change. Remove the safety filter as you would the primary
filter. Make sure you cover the air cleaner outlet tube to avoid any
unfiltered contaminant dropping into the engine.
Clean Both Surfaces of the Outlet Tube
and Check the Vacuator™ Valve
Use a clean cloth to wipe the filter sealing surface and the inside of
the outlet tube. Contaminant on the sealing surface could hinder an
effective seal and cause leakage. Make sure that all contaminant is
removed before the new filter is inserted. Dirt accidently transferred
to the inside of the outlet tube will reach the engine and cause
wear. Engine manufacturers say that it takes only a few grams of
dirt to "dust" an engine! Be careful not to damage the sealing area
on the tube.
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. Avoid knocking the filter
against the housing.
Wipe both sides
of the outlet
tube clean.
Inspect the New Filter for Damage
Inspect the new filter carefully, paying attention to
the inside of the open end, which is the
sealing area. NEVER install a damaged
filter. A new Donaldson radial seal
filter may have a dry lubricant on the
seal to aid installation.
Insert the New Radial Seal Filter Properly
If you're servicing the safety filter, this should be seated into
position before installing the primary filter.
Insert the new filter carefully. Seat
the filter by hand, making certain it is
completely into the air cleaner housing
before securing the cover in place.
The critical sealing area will stretch
slightly, adjust itself and distribute the sealing pressure evenly. To
complete a tight seal, apply pressure by hand at the outer rim of
the filter, not the flexible center. (Avoid pushing on the center of the
urethane end cap.) No cover pressure is required to hold the seal.
NEVER use the service cover to push the filter into place! Using the
cover to push the filter in could cause damage to the housing, cover
fasteners and will void the warranty.
If the service cover hits the filter before it is fully in place, remove
the cover and push the filter (by hand) further into the air cleaner
and try again. The cover should go on with no extra force.
Once the filter is in place, secure the service cover.
Outer edge of the
outlet tube
If your air cleaner is equipped with a Vacuator Valve
Visually check and physically squeeze to make sure the
valve is flexible and not inverted, damaged or plugged.

outlet tube
Inspect the Old
Filter for Leak Clues
Visually inspect the old filter for any signs
of leaks. A streak of dust on the clean side
of the filter is a telltale sign. Remove any
cause of leaks before installing new filter.
AIR VANTAGE® 650 CUMMINS
Caution
NEVER use the service cover to
push the filter into place! Using
the cover to push the filter in could
cause damage to the housing, cover
fasteners and will void the warranty.
Check Connectors for Tight Fit
Make sure that all mounting bands, clamps, bolts, and connections
in the entire air cleaner system are tight. Check for holes in piping
and repair if needed. Any leaks in your intake piping will send dust
directly to the engine!
The AIR VANTAGE® 650 CUMMINS is equipped with a
pressure radiator. Keep the radiator cap tight to prevent loss of coolant. Clean and flush the coolant system periodically to prevent clogging the passage and
over-heating the engine. When antifreeze is needed,
always use the permanent type.
• When draining the entire contents of the system,
remove radiator cap and open vent cock on top of
tank (counter clockwise). Next, pull both drain hoses
through the access hole in the base and open both
valves until system is empty.
• When refilling, close both valves on drain hoses and
open vent cock on top of tank to vent air from system
fully. Close vent cock when done. (See Figure D.1)
