VANTAGE® 580 (1) Output rating in watts is equivalent to volt-amperes at unity power factor. Output voltage is within ± 10% at all loads up to rated capacity. When welding, available auxiliary power will be reduced. (2) Reduced to less than 30V in the CC-stick Mode when VRD (VOLTAGE REDUCTION DEVICE) is on.
A-2 INST ALLA TION VANTAGE® 580 A-2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Only qualified personnel should install, use, or service this equipment. Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have thoroughly read the engine manufacturerʼs manual supplied with your welder.
A-3 INST ALLA TION VANTAGE® 580 A-3 HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION At higher altitudes, output derating may be necessary. For maximum rating, derate the machine 1.0% for every 2000 ft. (610m) up to 6000 ft. (1828m) and 2.0% for every 2000 ft. (610m) over 6000 ft.
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 K903-1 must be installed and properly maintained. An incorrect spark arrestor may lead to damage to the engine or adversely affect performance.
