VANTAGE 549
anGle of operation
To achieve optimum engine performance the VANTAGE® 549
should be run in a level position. The maximum angle of operation
for the Deutz engine is 30 degrees 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.)will be slightly less than the amount
specified.
liftinG
The VANTAGE® 549 weighs approximately 1836lbs. (832kg) with
a full tank of fuel and 1662lbs. (753kg) less fuel. A lift bail is
mounted to the machine and should always be used when lifting
the machine.
WARNING
FALLING EQUIPMENT
can cause injury.
•
Lift only with equipment of adequate lifting
capacity.
•
Be sure machine is stable when lifting.
•
Do not lift this machine using lift bale if it is equipped
with a heavy accessory such as trailer or gas cylinder.
•
Do not lift machine if lift bale is damaged.
•
Do not operate machine while suspended from lift bale.

hiGh altitUDe operation
At higher altitudes, output derating may be necessary. For
maximum rating, derate the welder output in accordance with the
guidelines in Table A.1 below for this engine model from the

hiGh teMperatUre operation
At temperatures above 104°F (40°C), output voltage derating may
be necessary. For maximum output current ratings, derate welder
voltage rating 2 volts for every 21°F (10°C) above 104°F (40°C).
colD weather startinG:
With a fully charged battery and OW40 oil, the engine should start
satisfactorily down to -15°F(-26C°). If the engine must be
frequently started at or below 0°F (-18°C), it may be desirable to
install cold-starting aides. For engines with common rail injection,
the mixing of petroleum or kerosene and adding of extra low
additives is not permissible. Fuels in accordance with ASTM S975
Grade 1D or DIN EN590-Arctic-Diesel may have no petroleum
added. Allow the engine to warm up before applying a load or
switching to high idle.
WARNING
Under no conditions should ether or other
starting fluids be used with this engine!
