LIFTING

The RANGER 8+ DIESEL weighs approximately 695 lbs/315 kg. A lift bail is mounted to the machine frame and should always be used when lifting the machine.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

FALLING EQUIPMENT can cause injury.

Do not lift this machine using lift bale if it is equipped with a heavy accessory such as trailer or gas cylinder.

Lift only with equipment of adequate lifting capacity.

Be sure machine is stable when lifting.

The recommended undercarriage for use with this equipment for in-plant and yard towing by a vehicle is Lincoln’s K957-1. If the user adapts a non-Lincoln undercarriage, 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 undercarriage vs. weight of Lincoln equipment and likely additional attach- ments.

2.Proper support of, and attachment to, the base of the welding equipment so there will be no undue stress to the framework.

3.Proper placement of the equipment on the under- carriage to insure stability side to side and front to back when being moved and when standing by itself while being operated or serviced.

OIL

The RANGER 8+ DIESEL is shipped with the engine filled with SAE 15W-40 oil. CHECK THE OIL LEVEL BEFORE YOU START THE ENGINE. If it is not full, add enough oil to fill it to the full mark.
