The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

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.b. Operate engines in open, well-ventilated areas or vent the engine exhaust fumes outdoors.

____________________________________________________

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.

SAFETY

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

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.

3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.

skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free

ARC RAYS can burn.

4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from sparks and 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.

5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and

cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation, especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.

WELDING and CUTTING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion.

6.a.

Remove fire hazards from the welding area.

If this is not possible, cover them to prevent

Remember that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.

6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site, special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous situations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSI Standard Z49.1) and the operating information for the equipment being used.

6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can cause overheating and create a fire hazard.

6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances inside. They can cause an explosion even been “cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended Safe Practices for the Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous Substances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society

(see address above).

6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or welding. They may explode.

Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil

6.f. free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places. Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a welding area.

6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding area as practical. Work cables connected to the building framework or other locations away from the welding area increase the possibility of the welding current passing through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate circuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains or cables until they fail.

SAFETY

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.

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.

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

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. (See Figure A.1)

With the VRD switch in the “On” position, the VRD lights are enabled.

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.

Page 16

A-6

INSTALLATION

A-6

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.

INSTALLATION

STANDBY POWER CONNECTIONS

The AIR VANTAGE® 650 CUMMINS is suitable for temporary, standby or emergency power using the engine manufacturerʼs recommended maintenance schedule.

A-7

The AIR VANTAGE

650 CUMMINS can be permanently installed as a standby power unit for 240 volt-3 wire, 50 amp service. Connections must be made by a licensed electrician who can determine how the 120/240 VAC power can be adapted to the particular installation and comply with all applicable electrical codes. The following information can be used as a guide by the electrician for most applications. Refer to the connection diagram shown in Figure A.2.

1. Install the double-pole, double-throw switch

between the power company meter and the premises disconnect.

Switch rating must be the same or greater than the customerʼs premises disconnect and service over current protection.

2. Take necessary steps to assure load is limited to

the capacity of the AIR VANTAGE

650 CUMMINS by installing a 50 amp, 240 VAC double pole circuit breaker. Maximum rated load for each leg of the 240 VAC auxiliary is 50 amps. Loading above the rated output will reduce output voltage below the allowable -10% of rated voltage which may damage appliances or other motor-driven equipment and may result in overheating of the AIR VANTAGE 650 CUMMINS engine.

3. Install a 50 amp 120/240 VAC plug (NEMA Type 14-50) to the double-pole circuit breaker using No. 6, 4 conductor cable of the desired length. (The 50 amp, 120/240 VAC plug is available in the optional K802R plug kit.)

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

The OUTPUT dial is

When in the TOUCH START TIG mode and when an 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.

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%.

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.

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.

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.

NOTE: Extreme cold weather starting may require longer glow plug operations.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

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.

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 within the rating of the machine. For information on electrodes and their proper application see (www.lincolnelectric.com) or the appropriate Lincoln publication.

The

AIR VANTAGE® 650 CUMMINS 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. Table B.1.

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.

WIRE WELDING-CV

Connect a wire feeder to the AIR VANTAGE® 650 CUMMINS according to the instructions in INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Section.

The AIR VANTAGE 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

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.

Inner edge of the 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!
