ADDITIONAL FEATURES

RANGER 300 D (K1522-1):

One constant voltage wire-feed welding range - 80 to 200 amps.

The wire feed setting permits the Ranger 300D to be used with the LN-25 Wire Feeder and .035, .045 or

.068 NR®-211-MP Innershield electrodes. Limited MIG (GMAW) welding can also be done with .030 or

.035 L-50 & L-56 using blended Argon shielding gas. “Auto-Idle” functions when using an LN-25 with an internal contactor.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES RANGER 300 DLX (K1522-2):

Four constant voltage (CV) wire-feed welding ranges with fine control on each range for welding at 40 to 300 amps.

Excellent arc characteristics with MIG (GMAW) and recommended Innershield electrodes (FCAW).

Wire feeder amphenol receptacle (14 pin) for quick connection of control cable.

Voltmeter for reading CV wire-feed welding arc volt- age.

Built in contactor with front panel selection of "cold" or "hot" welding terminals.

Aluminum TIG welding when used with K930-1 TIG Module. Output contactor control with Amptrol.

Recommended wire feeders are the LN-25 with 42 Volt Remote Output Control Module or with internal contactor and all models of the LN-7.

LIMITATIONS

The Ranger 300 is not recommended for any processes besides those that are normally per- formed using stick welding (SMAW), TIG welding (GTAW), MIG (GMAW) welding and Innershield® (FCAW) welding.

The RANGER 300 D/DLX is not recommended for pipe thawing.

During welding, generator power is limited and out- put voltages can drop. Therefore, DO NOT OPER-

ATE ANY SENSITIVE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT WHILE YOU ARE WELDING. See Table B.4 for permissible simultaneous welding and auxiliary power loads.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Always operate the welder with the roof and case sides in place as this provides maximum protection from moving parts and assures proper cooling air flow.

Read and understand all Safety Precautions before operating this machine. Always follow these and any other safety procedures included in this manual and in the Engine Owner’s Manual.

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

RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS

WELDER

The RANGER 300 provides excellent constant current AC/DC welding output for stick (SMAW) welding and for TIG welding, and it offers constant voltage output for DC semiautomatic wire feed welding.

GENERATOR

The RANGER 300 gives AC generator output for medium use demands.

CONTROLS AND SETTINGS

All generator/welder controls are located on the Output Control Panel of the machine case front. Diesel engine glow plug, idler control, and start/stop controls are also on the case front. See Figure B.1 and the explanations that follow.
