LIFTING

The RANGER 8+ DIESEL weighs approximately 695 lbs/315 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 K957-1. 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.
