STACKING
DUAL VANTAGE
800-I machines cannot be stacked.
®
ANGLE OF OPERATION
To achieve optimum engine performance the
DUAL VANTAGE
800-I should be run in a level position.
®
The maximum angle of operation for the machine 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 effec-
tive fuel capacity will be slightly less than the specified
25 gal.(94.6 ltrs.).
LIFTING
The DUAL VANTAGE
800-I weighs approximately 2195
®
lbs.(995 kg) with a full tank of fuel, 2095 lbs.(950kg)
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 lift-
ing.
• Do not lift this machine using lift
bail if it is equipped with a heavy
accessory such as trailer or gas
cylinder.
FALLING
• Do not lift machine if lift bail is

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
At higher altitudes, output derating may be necessary. For maxi-
mum 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 adjust-
ments 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
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 sta-
bility side to side and front to back when being moved and when
standing by itself.
4. Typical conditions of use, such as travel speed, roughness of
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
Consult applicable federal, state and local laws regarding specific require-
(1)
ments 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.
