Lincoln Electric IM951 VANTAGE 300 - Manual (Page 25)

AUXILIARY POWER:
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.
Simultaneous Welding and Auxiliary Power Loads
The auxiliary power ratings are with no welding load.
Simultaneous welding and power loads are specified
in the following table. The permissible currents shown
assume that current is being drawn from either the
120 VAC or 240 VAC supply (not both at the same
time).

ARC GOUGING
The VANTAGE® 300 can be used for limited arc
gouging. For optimal performance, set the MODE
switch to CC-STICK and the ARC CONTROL to +10.
Set the OUTPUT CONTROL knob to adjust output
current to the desired level for the gouging electrode
being used according to the ratings in the following
Table.
