HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION

It may be necessary to de-rate the welder output at higher altitudes. Derate the welder output 0.4% for every 100 ft. (30 m) above 500 ft. (150 m). Some engine adjustment may be required above 5,000 ft. (1,500 m). Contact a Kubota Service Representative.

4.Typical conditions of use, i.e., travel speed; rough- ness of surface on which the undercarriage will be operated; environmental conditions; likely mainte- nance.

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.

LIFTING

The RANGER 300 weighs approximately 1150 lbs/522 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 K953-1. 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.

PRE-OPERATION ENGINE SERVICE

CAUTION

READ and UNDERSTAND the engine operating and maintenance instructions supplied with this machine.

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

WARNING

Keep hands way from the engine muffler or HOT engine parts.

Stop the engine when fueling.

Do not smoke when fueling.

Do not overfill the fuel tank.

Wipe up spilled fuel and allow the fumes to clear before starting the engine.

Keep sparks and flame away from the fuel tank.

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

OIL

The RANGER 300 is shipped with the engine filled with SAE 10W-30 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.

Always use oil that is rated for diesel engine service (API classification of CD/CE).

For more information on oil viscosity and service con- ditions, see the MAINTENANCE section of this manu- al and the engine Operator’s Manual.
