STACKING
®
AIR VANTAGE
800 (AU) CUMMINS machines cannot be stacked.
ANGLE OF OPERATION
To achieve optimum engine performance the AIR VANTAGE® 800
(AU) CUMMINS should be run in a level position.
The maximum angle of operation for the machine with the
compressor running is 25 degrees continuous in all directions.
The maximum angle of operation for the machine with the
compressor not running is 35 degrees continuous in all directions.
When operating the welder at an angle, provisions must be made
for checking and maintaining the oil level at the normal (FULL) oil
capacity. Also the effective fuel capacity will be slightly less than
the specified 25 gal.(94.6 ltrs.).
LIFTING
The AIR VANTAGE® 800 (AU) CUMMINS weighs approximately
2188 lbs.(992 kg) with a full tank of fuel, 2018 lbs.(915kg) less
fuel. A lift bail is mounted to the machine and should always be
used when lifting the machine.
WARNING
•
Lift only with equipment of adequate
lifting capacity.
•
Be sure machine is stable when
lifting.
•
Do not lift this machine using lift bail
if it is equipped with a heavy
accessory such as trailer or gas
cylinder.
•
Do not lift machine if lift bail is
damaged.
•
Do not operate machine while suspended from lift bail.
Do not exceed maximum lift bail weight rating.

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
At higher altitudes, output derating may be necessary. For
maximum rating, derate the welder output 4% for every 300
meters (984 ft.) above 1500 meters (4920 ft.). For output of 500A
and below, derate the welder output 4% for every 300 meters
(984 ft.) above 2100 meters (6888 ft.).
Contact a Cummins Service Representative for any engine
adjustments that may be required.
HIGH TEMPERATURE OPERATION
At temperatures above 40°C (104°F), output voltage derating may
be necessary. For maximum output current ratings, derate welder
voltage rating 2 volts for every 10°C (21°F) above 40°C (104°F).
TOWING
The recommended trailer for use with this equipment for road, in-
plant and yard towing by a vehicle (1) is Lincoln's K2637-2. If the
user adapts a non-Lincoln trailer, he must assume responsibility
that the method of attachment and usage does not result in a
safety hazard nor damage the welding equipment. Some of the
factors to be considered are as follows:
1. Design capacity of trailer vs. weight of Lincoln equipment and
likely additional attachments.
2. Proper support of, and attachment to, the base of the welding
equipment so that there will be no undue stress to the
trailer's framework.
3. Proper placement of the equipment on the trailer to insure

surface on which the trailer will be operated, and
environmental conditions.
5. Proper preventative maintenance of trailer.
6. Conformance with federal, state and local laws(1).
(1) Consult applicable federal, state and local laws regarding
specific requirements for use on public highways.
VEHICLE MOUNTING
Improperly mounted concentrated loads may cause
unstable vehicle handling and tires or other components to
fail.
•
Only transport this Equipment on serviceable vehicles
which are rated and designed for such loads.
•
Distribute, balance and secure loads so vehicle is
stable under conditions of use.
•
Do not exceed maximum rated loads for components
such as suspension, axles and tires.
•
Mount equipment base to metal bed or frame of vehicle.
•
Follow vehicle manufacture's instructions.
