The VANTAGE® 500 DEUTZ lift bale should be used
to lift the machine. The VANTAGE® 500 DEUTZ is
shipped with the lift bale retracted. Before attempting
to lift the VANTAGE® 500 DEUTZ the lift bale must be
secured in a raised position. Secure the lift bale as fol-
lows:
a. Open the engine compartment door.
b. Locate the 2 access holes on the upper middle
region of compartment wall just below the lift
bale.
c. Use the lifting strap to raise the lift bale to the
full upright position. This will align the mount-
ing holes on the lift bale with the access holes.
d. Secure the lift bale with 2 thread forming
screws. The screws are provided in the
shipped loose parts bag.

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
At higher altitudes, output derating may be necessary.
For maximum rating, derate the welder output 5% for
every 300 meters (984 ft.) above 1500 meters (4920
ft.). For output of 500A and below, derate the welder
output 5% for every 300 meters (984 ft.) above 2100
meters (6888 ft.).
Contact a Deutz Service Representative for any
engine adjustments that may be required.
HIGH TEMPERATURE OPERATION
At temperatures above 104°F (40°C), output voltage
derating may be necessary. For maximum output cur-
rent ratings, derate welder voltage rating 2 volts for
every 21°F (10°C) above 104°F (40°C).
TOWING
The recommended trailer for use with this equipment
for road, in-plant and yard towing by a vehicle
(1) is
Lincoln ʼ s K2636-1. 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
ʼ s framework.
3. Proper placement of the equipment on the
trailer to insure stability 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

(1) Consult applicable federal, state and local laws
regarding specific requirements for use on public
highways.
VEHICLE MOUNTING
Improperly mounted concentrated loads may
cause unstable vehicle handling and tires or other
components to fail.
• Only transport this Equipment on serviceable
vehicles which 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 compo-
nents such as suspension, axles and tires.
• Mount equipment base to metal bed or frame of
vehicle.
