Lincoln Electric 305D Welder User Manual


 
!)#
The RANGER® 305D weighs approximately
775lbs.(352kg.) with a full tank of fuel (698 lbs. less
fuel). A lift bail is mounted to the machine and should
always be used when lifting the machine.

At higher altitudes, output derating may be necessary. For max-
imum rating, derate the machine 2.5% to 3.5% for every 1000 ft.
(305m). Due to new EPA and other local emissions regulations,
modifications to the engine for high altitude are restricted within
the United States and some other European Countries. Use
above 6000 ft.(1828 m) may be limited due to poor engine per-
formance or excessive exhaust smoke. An authorized Kubota
engine field service shop should be contacted to determine if
any adjustments can be made for operation in higher elevations
locally.

At temperatures above 104°F(40°C), Welder output derating is
necessary. For maximum output ratings, derate the welder out-
put 2 volts for every 50°F(10°C) above 104°F(40°C).

With a fully charged battery and the proper weight oil,
the engine should start satisfactorily even down to
about 5°F (-15°C). If the engine must be frequently
started at or below 23°F (-5°C), it may be desirable to
install cold-starting aides. The use of No. 1D diesel
fuel is recommended in place of No. 2D at tempera-
tures below 23°F (-5°C). Allow the engine to warm up
before applying a load or switching to high idle.
#?D5 Extreme cold weather starting may require
longer glow plug operation.

The welder should be located to provide an unrestrict-
ed flow of clean, cool air to the cooling air inlets and to
avoid restricting the cooling air outlets. Also, locate the
welder so that the engine exhaust fumes are properly
vented to an outside area.

Engines are designed to run in the level condition
which is where the optimum performance is achieved.
The maximum angle of continuous operation is 20
degrees in all directions, 35 degrees Intermittent (less
than 10 minutes continuous) in all directions. If the
engine is to be operated at an angle, provisions must
be made for checking and maintaining the oil level at
the normal (FULL) oil capacity in the crankcase.
When operating the welder at an angle, the effective
fuel capacity will be slightly less than the specified 12
gallons (45ltrs.).
