CONNECTION OF THE LN-8 TO THE

RANGER 305D USING K595 CONTROL

CABLE

(SEE FIGURE C.6.)

NOTE: If your LN-8 comes equipped with a K291 or
K404 input cable, refer to CONNECTIONS OF THE
LN-7 Using K867 UNIVERSALADAPTER, rather than
this discussion, to connect your Ranger 305D for wire
feed welding.
1. Shut the welder off.
2. Connect the electrode cable from the LN-8 to the
“+” terminal of the welder. Connect the work cable
to the “-” terminal of the welder.
NOTE: Welding cable must be sized for current and
duty cycle of application.
NOTE: Figure C.5 shows the electrode connected for
positive polarity. To change polarity, shut the welder
off and reverse the electrode and work cables at the
output terminals.
3. Connect the K595-XX Control Cable to the LN-8.
4. Connect the K595-XX to the 14-pin amphenol on
the Ranger 305D.
5. Place the “IDLER” switch in the “HIGH” position.
Any increase of the high idle engine RPMby changing
the governor setting or overriding the throttle linkage
will cause an increase in the AC auxiliary voltage. If
thisvoltage goes over 140 volts, wire feeder control cir-
cuit may be damaged. The engine governor setting is
preset at the factory - do not adjust above RPM speci-
fications listed in this manual.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Set the “VOLTMETER”switch to “+” or “-” depend-
ing on the polarity chosen.
7. Set the “MODE” switch to “CV-WIRE.”
8. Set the “WELD TERMINALS” switch to “WELD
TERMINALS REMOTELYCONTROLLED.”
9. Adjust wire feed speed and voltage at the LN-8.
10. Adjust the “ARC” control to “0” initially and adjust
to suit.
