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

(1)

is Lincoln’s K2637-2. If the

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

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.

700 (AU) CUMMINS machines can-

not be stacked.

ANGLE OF OPERATION

To achieve optimum engine performance the AIR
VANTAGE

®

700 (AU) CUMMINS should be run in a

level position.

The maximum angle of operation for the machine with
the compressor running is 25 degrees continuous in
all directions.

The maximum angle of operation for the machine with
the compressor not running 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.).
