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 errat-
ic outputs, and large output imbalances between the
units.
AUXILIARY POWER OPERATION
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 weld-
ing current is being drawn.
The auxiliary power of the AIR VANTAGE® 500 con-
sists of two 15Amp 240VAC single phase receptacles.
The auxiliary power receptacles should only be used
with three wire grounded type plugs or approved dou-
ble 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.
