ENGINE MAINTENANCE

(Refer to Figure D.3 for the location of maintenance components.)

CAUTION

To prevent the engine from accidentally starting, dis- connect the negative battery cable before servicing the engine.

See Table D.1 for a summary of maintenance intervals for the items listed below. More frequent service may be required, depending on your specific application and operating conditions. See the Kubota Engine Operator's Manual for further information.

OIL

Check the oil level before starting engine or daily. BE SURE TO MAINTAIN THE OIL

LEVEL. Change the oil for the first time after 50 hours of operation. Then, under normal operating condi- tions, change the oil as specified in the maintenance schedule.

CHANGING THE OIL

Change the oil, while the engine is still warm, as fol- lows:

1.Drain the oil from the drain plug located on the engine bottom, as shown in Figure D.1.

2.Replace the plug and tighten it securely.

3.Remove the oil fill cap and add oil until the level reaches the full mark on the dipstick. The quantity of oil required for an oil and oil filter change is 5.4 quarts (5.1 L). Use oil that is rated for diesel engine service (API classification CD/CE). Use SAE vis- cosity grades per Table D.3.

TABLE D.3

Ambient Temperature	Viscosity Grades


Above 25°C (77°F)	SAE 10W-30, SAE10W-40 or SAE30

0°C (32°F) to 25°C (77°F)	SAE 10W-30, SAE10W-40 or SAE20

Below 0°C (32°F)	SAE 10W-30, SAE10W-40 or SAE10

OIL FILTER

Change the oil filter the first time after 50 hours of operation. Then, under normal operating conditions, change the oil filter at every oil change. See Table D.2 for recommended oil filters.

Change the oil filter as follows:

1.Drain the oil from the engine and allow the oil filter to drain.

2.Remove the old filter (spin it off) and discard it. Wipe off the filter mounting surface and adapter.

3.Apply a thin coat of new oil to the rubber gasket on the new oil filter.

4.Spin the new filter on to the mounting adapter until the gasket just touches the mounting surface, then turn it down another 1/2 to 3/4 turn. Do not over- tighten the new filter.

5.Refill the engine with the proper amount and type of oil as described in the Changing the Oil section. Start the engine and check for leaks around the fil- ter element. Correct any leaks (usually by retight- ening the filter, but only enough to stop leaks) before placing the RANGER 300 back in service.

6.If there are no leaks, stop the engine and recheck the oil level. If necessary, add oil to bring the level up to the FULL mark, but do not overfill.

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.
