The VANTAGE® 300 is shipped with the engine
crankcase filled with high quality SAE 10W-30 Oil that
meets classification CG-4 or CH-4 for diesel engines.
Check the oil level before starting the engine. If it is
not up to the full mark on the dip stick, add oil as
required. Check the oil level every four hours of run-
ning time during the first 50 running hours. Refer to
the engine Operator’s Manual for specific oil recom-
mendations and break-in information. The oil change
interval is dependent on the quality of the oil and the
operating environment. Refer to the Engine Operator’s
Manual for more details on the proper service and
maintenance intervals.

The VANTAGE® 300 is shipped with the negative bat-
tery cable disconnected. Make certain that the RUN-
STOP switch is in the STOP position. Remove the two
screws from the battery tray using a screwdriver or a
3/8" socket. Attach the negative battery cable to the
negative battery terminal and tighten using a 1/2"
socket or wrench.
%&+: This machine is furnished with a wet charged
battery; if unused for several months, the battery may
require a booster charge. Be careful to charge the bat-
tery with the correct polarity. (See Battery in
“Maintenance Section”)

Using the clamp provided secure the outlet pipe to the
outlet tube with the pipe positioned such that it will
direct the exhaust in the desired direction. Tighten
using a 9/16" socket or wrench.

Some federal, state or local laws may require that
gasoline or diesel engines be equipped with exhaust
spark arresters when they are operated in certain
locations where unarrested sparks may present a fire
hazard. The standard muffler included with this welder
does not qualify as a spark arrester. When required by
local regulations, a suitable spark arrester, such as
the K1898-1 must be installed and properly main-
tained.
