SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have thoroughly read the engine manufacturerʼs manual supplied with your welder. It includes important safety precautions, detailed engine starting, operating and maintenance instructions, and parts lists.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Do not touch electrically live parts or electrode with skin or wet clothing.

•Insulate yourself from work and ground

•Always wear dry insulating gloves.

-------------------------------------------------------

ENGINE EXHAUST can kill.

• Use in open, well ventilated areas or vent exhaust outside.

------------------------------------------------------

MOVING PARTS can injure.

•Do not operate with doors open or guards off.

• Stop engine before servicing.

•Keep away from moving parts.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

See additional warning information at front of this operatorʼs manual.

Only qualified personnel should install, use, or service this equipment.

LOCATION AND VENTILATION

The welder should be located to provide an unrestrict- ed flow of clean, cool air to the cooling air inlets and to avoid restricting the cooling air outlets. Also, locate the welder so that the engine exhaust fumes are properly vented to an outside area.

STACKING

RANGER 305G machines cannot be stacked.

ANGLE OF OPERATION

Engines are designed to run in the level condition which is where the optimum performance is achieved. The maximum angle of continuous operation is 15 degrees in any direction. If the engine is to be operat- ed at an angle, provisions must be made for checking and maintaining the oil level at the normal (FULL) oil capacity in the crankcase.

When operating the welder at an angle, the effective fuel capacity will be slightly less than the specified 12 gallons.

LIFTING

The RANGER 305G weighs approximately 530 lbs. with a full tank of gasoline. A lift bail is mounted to the machine and should always be used when lifting the machine.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

 

• Lift only with equipment of

 

adequate lifting capacity.

 

• Be sure machine is stable

 

when lifting.

 

• Do not lift this machine using

 

lift bale if it is equipped with a

 

heavy accessory such as trail-

 

er or gas cylinder.

FALLING

• Do not lift machine if lift bale is

cause injury.

• Do not operate machine while

 

suspended from lift bale.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION

At higher altitudes, Welder output de-rating may be necessary. For maximum rating, de-rate the welder output 3.5% for every 1000 ft. (305m) above 3000 ft. (914m). If operation will consistently be at altitudes above 5,000 ft. (1525m), a carburetor jet designed for high altitudes should be installed. This will result in better fuel economy, cleaner exhaust and longer spark plug life. It will not give increased power. Contact your local authorized engine service shop for high altitude jet kits that are available from the engine manufacturer.

CAUTION

Do not operate with a high altitude jet installed at altitudes below 5000 ft. This will result in the engine running too lean and result in higher engine operating temperatures which can shorten engine life.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

HIGH TEMPERATURE OPERATION

At temperatures above 40°C(104°F), Welder output de-rating is necessary. For maximum output ratings, de-rate the welder output 2 volts for every 10°C(50°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 Lincolnʼs K957-1. 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 con- sidered are as follows:
