TOWING

The recommended trailer for use with this equipment for road, in-plant and yard towing by a vehicle(1) is Lincoln’s K957-1. If the user adapts a non-Lincoln trailer, he must assume responsi- bility 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 weld- ing equipment so there will be no undue stress to the frame- work.

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 while being operated or ser- viced.

4.Typical conditions of use, i.e., travel speed; roughness of sur- face on which the trailer will be operated; environmental con- ditions; like maintenance.

5.Conformance with federal, state and local laws.(1)

(1)Consult applicable federal, state and local laws regarding specific requirements for use on public highways.

VEHICLE MOUNTING

WARNING

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.

•Follow vehicle manufacturer’s instructions.

OIL

The RANGER® 305D is shipped with the engine crankcase filled with high quality SAE 10W-30 Oil that meets classification CG-4 or CH-4 for diesel engines. Check the oil level before starting the engine. If it is not up to the full mark on the dip stick, add oil as required. Check the oil level every four hours of run- ning time during the first 50 running hours. Refer to the engine Operator’s Manual for specific oil recom- mendations and break-in information. The oil change interval is dependent on the quality of the oil and the operating environment. Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual for more details on the proper service and maintenance intervals.

FUEL

DIESEL FUEL ONLY-Low sulphur fuel or ultra low sulphur fuel in U.S.A. and Canada.

WARNING

•Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh fuel. The capacity of the tank is 12 gals. (45.4ltrs). When the fuel gauge reads empty the tank contains approximately 2 gals. (7.6ltrs.) of reserve fuel.

WARNING

NOTE: A fuel shut off valve is located on the pre- filter/sediment filter. Which should be in the closed position when the welder is not ran for extended periods of time.
