SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have thoroughly read the engine manufacturer’s 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 operator’s manual.

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

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

LOCATION AND VENTILATION

Whenever you use the RANGER 300, be sure that clean cooling air can flow through the machine’s diesel engine and the machine case. Avoid dusty, dirty areas. Also, keep the machine away from heat sources. Do not place the engine end of the machine anywhere near hot engine exhaust from another machine or closer than two feet from a wall. And of course, make sure that engine exhaust is ventilated to an open, outside area.

The RANGER 300 may be used outdoors. Do not set the machine in puddles or otherwise submerge it in water. Such practices pose safety hazards and cause improper operation and corrosion of parts.

Always operate the RANGER 300 with the case roof on and all machine components completely assem- bled. This will protect you from the dangers of moving parts, hot metal surfaces, and live electrical devices.

CAUTION

DO NOT MOUNT OVER COMBUSTIBLE SUR- FACES.

Where there is a combustible surface directly under stationary or fixed electrical equipment, the surface shall be covered with a steel plate at least

.06”(1.6mm) thick, which shall extend not more than 5.90”(150mm) beyond the equipment on all sides.

STORING

1.Store the machine in a cool, dry place when it is not in use. Protect it from dust and dirt. Keep it where it can’t be accidentally damaged from construction activities, moving vehicles, and other hazards.

2.Drain the engine oil and refill with fresh 10W30 oil. Run the engine for about five minutes to circulate oil to all the parts. See the MAINTENANCE section of this manual for details on changing oil.

3.If you are storing the machine for more than 30 days, drain the coolant from the radiator. Open the cock at the bottom of the radiator and remove the pressure cap so that the coolant drains completely. Attach a note that says “NO WATER” on the radia- tor.

4.Remove the battery, recharge it, and adjust the electrolyte level. Store the battery in a dry, dark place.

5.If the engine is not used for a long period of time, every two to three months fill the radiator and run the engine for about five minutes to keep it free from rust.

STACKING

RANGER 300 machines CANNOT be stacked.

TILTING

Place the machine on a secure, level surface whenev- er you use it or store it. Any surfaces you place it on other than the ground must be firm, non-skid, and structurally sound.

The diesel engine is designed to run in a level position for best performance. It can operate at an angle, but this should never be more than 20 degrees in any direction. If you do operate it at a slight angle, be sure to check the oil regularly and keep the oil level at the FULL mark as it would be in its normal level condition. Also, fuel capacity will be a little less at an angle.
