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

The recommended trailer for use with this equipment for road, in-
plant and yard towing by a vehicle(1) is Lincoln’s K957-1. 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 con-
sidered are as follows:
1. Design capacity of trailer vs. Weight of Lincoln equipment and
likely additional attachments.
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 trailer to insure stabili-
ty side to side and front to back when being moved and when
standing by itself while being operated or serviced.
4. Typical conditions of use, i.e., travel speed; roughness of surface
on which the trailer will be operated; environmental conditions;
like maintenance.
5. Conformance with federal, state and local laws.

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 15
degrees in any direction. If the engine is to be operat-
ed 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.

The RANGER® 305LPG weighs approximately 480
lbs. A lift bail is mounted to the machine and should
always be used when lifting the machine.
