Page 11: Lifting
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. -

HOT COOLANT can burn skin. •Do not remove cap if radiator is hot. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The welder is shipped with the engine and radiator filled with a 50% mixture of ethylene glycol and water. See the MAINTENANCE section and the engine Operator’s Manual for more information on coolant. -
Page 13: Muffler Outlet Pipe
To prevent dangerous electric shock, other equipment to which this engine driven welder supplies power must: • 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. -
Page 14: Remote Control
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. -
Page 15: Standby Power Connections
STANDbY POWER CONNECTIONS The AIR VANTAGE® 500 KUBOTA is suitable for temporary, standby or emergency power using the engine manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. The AIR VANTAGE® 500 KUBOTA can be perma- nently installed as a standby power unit for 240 VAC, 3 wire, single phase, 50 amp service. -

• Stop engine before servicing. • Keep away from moving parts ------------------------------------------------------------------------ • Always operate the welder with the hinged door closed and the side panels in place. • Read carefully the Safety Precautions page before operating this machine. Always follow these and any other safety procedures included in this man- ual and in the Engine Instruction Manual. -
Page 20: Air Compressor
OPERATION RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS WELDER The AIR VANTAGE® 500 KUBOTA provides excellent constant current DC welding output for stick (SMAW) and TIG welding. The AIR VANTAGE® 500 KUBOTA also provides excellent constant voltage DC welding output for MIG (GMAW), Innershield (FCAW), Outersield (FCAW-G) and Metal Core welding. -
Page 21: Welding Controls
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. -

4. ARC CONTROL - The ARC CONTROL dial is active in the CV-WIRE, CC-STICK and DOWNHILL PIPE modes, and has different functions in these modes. This control is not active in the TIG and ARC GOUGING mode. CC-STICK mode: In this mode, the ARC CONTROL dial sets the short circuit current (arc-force) during stick welding to adjust for a soft or crisp arc. -

For any electrode the procedures should be kept with- in the rating of the machine. For information on elec- trodes and their proper application see (www.lincoln- electric.com) or the appropriate Lincoln publication. The AIR VANTAGE® 500 KUBOTA can be used with a broad range of DC stick electrodes. -

WIRE WELDING-CV Connect a wire feeder to the AIR VANTAGE® 500 KUBOTA according to the instructions in INSTALLATION INSTRUC- TIONS Section. The AIR VANTAGE® 500 KUBOTA in the CV-WIRE 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). -

b-10 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. -
