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.

TOWING

The recommended trailer for use with this equipment for road, in-plant, and yard towing by a vehicle1 is Lincoln’s K-953-1. If the user adapts a non-Lincoln trailer, 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 the trailer vs. weight of the Lincoln equipment and likely additional attach- ments.

2.Proper support of and attachment to the base of the welding equipment so that there will be no undo stress to the trailer’s framework.

3.Proper alignment of the equipment on the trailer to insure stability side-to-side and front-to-back when it is being moved and when standing by itself.

4.Typical conditions of use, such as travel speed, roughness of the surface on which the trailer will be operated, and environmental conditions.

5.Proper preventative maintenance of the trailer.

6.Conformance with federal, state, and local laws.1

1Consult 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.

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 manual and the engine Operator’s Manual.

SVM148-B specifications

The Lincoln Electric SVM148-B is a state-of-the-art inverter-based power source designed for both professional welders and hobbyists. As a versatile machine, it excels in a variety of welding applications including MIG, TIG, and stick welding. This machine is particularly notable for its efficiency and portability, making it an ideal choice for on-site projects or workshops where space is limited.

One of the main features of the SVM148-B is its inverter technology. Unlike traditional transformer-based welders, inverter welders are typically lighter and more compact. This means that users can transport the machine more easily without sacrificing power or performance. The SVM148-B is capable of delivering a substantial amperage range, allowing for adjustments that suit various materials and thicknesses, from thin sheet metal to thicker plates.

The machine offers adjustable output levels, providing precise control over the welding process. This level of control is essential for achieving clean, strong welds and is especially useful when working with different materials. The SVM148-B is equipped with digital display features that provide real-time feedback on power settings and welding parameters, allowing welders to make quick adjustments as needed.

Another significant advantage of the SVM148-B is its duty cycle, which is designed to accommodate extended usage without overheating. A robust duty cycle means that professionals can rely on this machine for prolonged periods, making it a dependable choice for heavy-duty tasks.

The SVM148-B also includes advanced safety features such as overload protection, which ensures that the machine will shut down in the event of excessive current draw. This feature not only protects the equipment but also enhances user safety during operation.

Moreover, the machine is compatible with a wide variety of welding wires and electrodes, adding to its versatility. Whether you're working with stainless steel, aluminum, or mild steel, the SVM148-B can adapt seamlessly.

In conclusion, the Lincoln Electric SVM148-B combines advanced inverter technology with user-friendly features, making it an invaluable addition to any welding setup. Its portability, control options, robust duty cycle, and safety measures set it apart as a reliable and efficient welding solution for professionals and hobbyists alike. Whether for a small workshop or large industrial applications, the SVM148-B meets the demands of modern welding with efficiency and ease.
