The VANTAGE® 300 is a diesel engine powered DC
multi-process welding power source and 120 / 240
volt AC power generator. The engine drives a genera-
tor that supplies three phase power for the DC weld-
ing circuit, single phase and Three Phase power for
the AC auxiliary outlets. The DC welding control sys-
tem uses state of the art Chopper Technology (CT
)
for superior welding performance.
The VANTAGE® 300 is fitted with a selectable
VRD(Voltage Reduction Device). The VRD operates
in the CC-Stick mode reducing the OCV to <13 volts,
increasing operator safety when welding is performed
in environments with increased hazard of electric
shock such as wet areas and hot, humid sweaty con-
ditions.

Start the engine and set the IDLER control switch to
the desired operating mode. Full power is available
regardless of the welding control settings providing no
welding current is being drawn.

Before Starting the Engine:
• Be sure the machine is on a level surface.
• Open side engine door and remove the engine oil
dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth.
Reinsert the dipstick and check the level on the dip-
stick.
• Add oil (if necessary) to bring the level up to the full
mark. Do not overfill. Close engine door.
• Check radiator for proper coolant level. (Fill if nec-
essary).
• See Engine Owner’s Manual for specific oil and
coolant recommendations.

The engine will use a small amount of oil during its
“break-in” period. The break-in period is about 50 run-
ning hours. Check the oil every four hours during
break-in.
