SAFETY
1.d. Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and
devices in position and in good repair.Keep
hands, hair, clothing and tools away from
V-belts, gears, fans and all other moving parts
when starting, operating or repairing
equipment.
1.e. In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety guards to
perform required maintenance. Remove guards only when
necessary and replace them when the maintenance requiring
their removal is complete. Always use the greatest care when
working near moving parts.
1.f. Do not put your hands near the engine fan. Do not attempt to
override the governor or idler by pushing on the throttle control
rods while the engine is running.
1.g. To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines while turning
the engine or welding generator during maintenance work,
disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap or magneto wire
as appropriate.
1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the radiator
pressure cap when the engine is
hot.
ELECTRIC AND
MAGNETIC FIELDS MAY
BE DANGEROUS
2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor
causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding
current creates EMF fields around welding cables and welding
machines
FOR ENGINE POWERED
EQUIPMENT.
1.a. Turn the engine off before troubleshooting
and maintenance work unless the
maintenance work requires it to be running.
1.b. Operate engines in open, well-ventilated
areas or vent the engine exhaust fumes outdoors.
1.c. Do not add the fuel near an open flame
welding arc or when the engine is running.
Stop the engine and allow it to cool before
refueling to prevent spilled fuel from
vaporizing on contact with hot engine parts
and igniting. Do not spill fuel when filling
tank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not start engine until
fumes have been eliminated.
2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and welders
having a pacemaker should consult their physician before
welding.
2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health effects
which are now not known.
2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order to
minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:
2.d.1. Route the electrode and work cables together - Secure
them with tape when possible.
2.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.
2.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode and work
cables. If the electrode cable is on your right side, the
work cable should also be on your right side.
2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area being welded.
2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.
3
SAFETY
ELECTRIC SHOCK
CAN KILL.
3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are
electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do
not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin
or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.
3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.
Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full area
of physical contact with work and ground.
In addition to the normal safety precautions, if
welding must be performed under electrically
hazardous conditions (in damp locations or while
wearing wet clothing; on metal structures such as
floors, gratings or scaffolds; when in cramped
positions such as sitting, kneeling or lying, if there
is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact
with the workpiece or ground) use the following
equipment:
• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.
• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.
• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.
3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,
electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic welding
gun are also electrically “hot”.
3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical
connection with the metal being welded. The connection should
be as close as possible to the area being welded.
3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical (earth)
ground.
3.f. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and
welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace
damaged insulation.
3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of electrode
holders connected to two welders because voltage
two can be the total of the open circuit voltage of both
welders.
3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect
yourself from a fall should you get a shock.
between the
ARC RAYS CAN BURN.
4.a.Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your
eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or
observing open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens should
conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.
4.b.Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material
to protect your skin and that of your helpers from the arc rays.
4.c.Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable
screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose
themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.
FUMES AND GASES
CAN BE DANGEROUS.
5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases
hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these
fumes and gases. When welding, keep your head out of the fume.
Use enough ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep fumes
and gases away from the breathing zone. When welding
with electrodes which require special ventilation
such as stainless or hard facing (see instructions
on container or MSDS) or on lead or cadmium
plated steel and other metals or coatings which
produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as low
as possible and within applicable OSHA PEL and
ACGIH TLV limits using local exhaust or
mechanical ventilation. In confined spaces or in
some circumstances, outdoors, a respirator may
be required. Additional precautions are also
required when welding on galvanized steel.
5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected by
various factors including proper use and positioning of the
equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the specific
welding procedure and application involved. Worker exposure
level should be checked upon installation and periodically
thereafter to be certain it is within applicable OSHA PEL and
ACGIH TLV limits.
5.c. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors
coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations. The
heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to form
phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.
3.j. Also see It ems 6.c. and 8.
5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and
injury or death. Always use enough ventilation, especially in
confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.
5.e. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this
equipment and the consumables to be used, including the
material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your employer’s
safety practices. MSDS forms are available from your welding
distributor or from the manufacturer.
5.f. Also see item 1.b.

SAFETY
WELDING AND CUTTING
SPARKS CAN CAUSE
FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If
this is not possible, cover them to prevent the
welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding
sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through
small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near
hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.
6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site, special
precautions should be used to prevent hazardous situations.
Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSI Standard Z49.1)
and the operating information for the equipment being used.
6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is
touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can cause
overheating and create a fire hazard.
6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the
proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures will
not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances inside.
They can cause an explosion even though they have been
“cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended Safe
Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting of
Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous Substances”,
AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society (see address
above).
6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or
welding. They may explode.
6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil free
protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless
trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs
when welding out of position or in confined places. Always wear
safety glasses with side shields when in a welding area.
6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding area
as practical. Work cables connected to the building framework or
other locations away from the welding area increase the
possibility of the welding current passing through lifting chains,
crane cables or other alternate circuits. This can create fire
hazards or overheat lifting chains or cables until they fail.
6.h. Also see item 1.c.
CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IF
DAMAGED.
7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders containing
the correct shielding gas for the process used
and properly operating regulators designed for
the gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings,
etc. should be suitable for the application and
maintained in good condition.
7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to
an undercarriage or fixed support.
7.c. Cylinders should be located:
•Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected
to physical damage.
•A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations
and any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.
7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other
electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.
7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet
when opening the cylinder valve.
7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tight
except when the cylinder is in use or connected for use.
7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas cylinders,
associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l, “Precautions for
Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in
Cylinders,” available
from the Compressed Gas Association 1235 Jefferson Davis
Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.

INSTALLATION
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Do not attempt to use this equipment until you
have thoroughly read the engine manufacturerʼs
manual supplied with your welder. It includes
important safety precautions, detailed engine
starting, operating and maintenance instructions,
and parts lists.
Only qualified personnel should install,
use, or service this equipment.
LOCATION AND VENTILATION
A-2
LIFTING
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.
WARNING
• Lift only with equipment of adequate lifting capacity.
• Be sure machine is stable when lifting.
• Do not lift this machine using lift
bail if it is equipped with a heavy
accessory such as trailer or gas
cylinder.
At higher altitudes, output derating may be necessary. For maximum 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 performance 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.
The welder should be located to provide an unrestricted 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.
STACKING
RANGER® 305D machines cannot be stacked.
ANGLE OF OPERATION
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.).
RANGER® 305D
HIGH TEMPERATURE OPERATION
At temperatures above 104°F(40°C), Welder output derating is
necessary. For maximum output ratings, derate the welder output 2 volts for every 18°F(-7.8°C) above 104°F(40°C).
Cold weather starting:
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 temperatures below 23°F (-5°C). Allow the engine to warm up
before applying a load or switching to high idle.
Note: Extreme cold weather starting may require
longer glow plug operation.
WARNING
Under no conditions should ether or other starting
fluids be used with this engine!
The recommended trailer for use with this equipment for road,
in-plant and yard towing by a vehicle(1) is Lincolnʼs 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 considered 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 weld-
ing equipment so there will be no undue stress to the framework.
3. Proper placement of the equipment on the trailer to insure
stability 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.
(1)
Consult applicable federal, state and local laws regarding specific
requirements for use on public highways.

• Stop engine and allow to cool before fueling
• Do not smoke when fueling.
• Fill fuel tank at a moderate rate and do not overfill.
• Wipe up spilled fuel and allow fumes to clear
before starting engine.
The RANGER® 305D is shipped with the engine
crankcase filled with high quality SAE 10W-30 Oil that
meets classification CG-4 or CH-4 for diesel engines.
Check the oil level before starting the engine. If it is
not up to the full mark on the dip stick, add oil as
required. Check the oil level every four hours of running time during the first 50 running hours. Refer to
the engine Operatorʼs Manual for specific oil recommendations and break-in information. The oil change
interval is dependent on the quality of the oil and the
operating environment. Refer to the Engine Operatorʼs
Manual for more details on the proper service and
maintenance intervals.
WARNING
WARNING
Improperly mounted concentrated loads may
cause unstable vehicle handling and tires or other
components to fail.
• Only transport this Equipment on serviceable
vehicles which are rated and designed for such
loads.
• Distribute, balance and secure loads so vehicle
is stable under conditions of use.
• Do not exceed maximum rated loads for components such as suspension, axles and tires.
• Mount equipment base to metal bed or frame of
vehicle.
DIESEL FUEL ONLY-Low sulphur fuel or ultra low
sulphur fuel in U.S.A. and Canada.
WARNING
• Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh fuel. The
capacity of the tank is 12 gals. (45.4ltrs). When
the fuel gauge reads empty the tank contains
approximately 2 gals. (7.6ltrs.) of reserve fuel.
WARNING
NOTE: A fuel shut off valve is located on the pre-
filter/sediment filter. Which should be in
the closed position when the welder is not
ran for extended periods of time.
Air to cool the engine is drawn in the base sides
and exhaust through radiator & case back. It is
important that the intake and exhaust air is not
restricted. Allow a minimum clearance of 2 feet
(0.6m) from the case back and 16in.(406mm) from
either side of the base to a vertical surface.
The RANGER® 305D is shipped with the negative
battery cable disconnected. Make certain that the
RUN-STOP switch is in the STOP position. Remove
the two screws from the rear battery tray using a
screwdriver or a 3/8" socket. Attach the negative battery cable to the negative battery terminal and tighten
using a 1/2" socket or wrench.
NOTE: This machine is furnished with a wet charged
battery; if unused for several months, the battery may
require a booster charge. Be careful to charge the battery with the correct polarity.
MUFFLER OUTLET PIPE
Using the clamp provided secure the outlet pipe to the
outlet tube with the pipe positioned such that it will
direct the exhaust in the desired direction. Tighten
using a 9/16" socket or wrench.
SPARK ARRESTER
Some federal, state or local laws may require that
gasoline or diesel engines be equipped with exhaust
spark arresters when they are operated in certain
locations where unarrested sparks may present a fire
hazard. The standard muffler included with this welder
does not qualify as a spark arrester. When required by
local regulations, a suitable spark arrester, such as
the K1898-1 must be installed and properly maintained.
WARNING
An incorrect spark arrestor may lead to damage to
the engine or adversely affect performance.
The RANGER® 305D is equipped with a 6-pin and a
14-pin connector. The 6-pin connector is for connecting the K857 or K857-1 Remote Control or for TIG
welding, the K870 foot Amptrol or the K936-3 hand
Amptrol. When in the CC-STICK, DOWNHILL PIPE,
or CV-WIRE modes and when a remote control is
connected to the 6-pin Connector, the auto-sensing
circuit automatically switches the OUTPUT control
from control at the welder to remote control.
When in TOUCH START TIG mode and when a
Amptrol is connected to the 6-Pin Connector, the
OUTPUT dial is used to set the maximum current
range of the CURRENT CONTROL of the Amptrol.
The 14-pin connector is used to directly connect a
wire feeder control cable. In the CV-WIRE mode,
when the control cable is connected to the 14-pin connector, the auto-sensing circuit automatically makes
the Output Control inactive and the wire feeder voltage control active
WARNING
NOTE: When a wire feeder with a built in welding
voltage control is connected to the 14-pin connector, do not connect anything to the 6-pin connector.
Because this portable engine driven welder creates its
own power, it is not necessary to connect its frame to
an earth ground, unless the machine is connected to
premises wiring (home, shop, etc.)
To prevent dangerous electric shock, other equipment
to which this engine driven welder supplies power
must:
WARNING
• Be grounded to the frame of the welder using a
grounded type plug.
• Be double insulated.
• Do not ground the machine to a pipe that carries
explosive or combustible material.
When this welder is mounted on a truck or trailer, its
frame must be electrically bonded to the metal frame
of the vehicle. Use a #8 or larger copper wire connected between the machine grounding stud and the
frame of the vehicle. When this engine driven welder
is connected to premises wiring such as that in a
home or shop, its frame must be connected to the system earth ground. See further connection instructions
in the section entitled "Standby Power Connections"
as well as the article on grounding in the latest
National Electrical Code and the local code.
In general, if the machine is to be grounded, it should
be connected with a #8 or larger copper wire to a solid
earth ground such as a metal water pipe going into the
ground for at least ten feet and having no insulated
joints, or to the metal framework of a building which
has been effectively grounded.
The National Electrical Code lists a number of alternate means of grounding electrical equipment. A
machine grounding stud marked with the symbol
is provided on the front of the welder.
WELDING TERMINALS
The RANGER® 305D is equipped with a toggle switch
for selecting "hot" welding terminal when in the "WELD
TERMINALS ON" position or "cold" welding terminal
when in the "REMOTELY CONTROLLED" position.
CABLE INSTALLATION
Install the welding cables to your RANGER® 305D as
follows.
1. The engine must be OFF to install welding cables.
2. Remove the flanged nuts from the output terminals
.
3. Connect the electrode holder and work cables to the
weld output terminals. The terminals are identified
on the case front.
4. Tighten the flanged nuts securely.
5. Be certain that the metal piece you are welding (the
“work”) is properly connected to the work clamp and
cable.
CAUTION
6. Check and tighten the connections periodically.
• Loose connections will cause the output termi-
nals to overheat. The terminals may eventually
melt.
• Do not cross the welding cables at the output ter-
minal connection. Keep the cables isolated and
separate from one another.
With the engine off connect the electrode and work
cables to the output studs. The welding process dictates the polarity of the electrode cable. These connections should be checked periodically and tightened
with a 3/4" wrench.
Table A.1 lists recommended cable sizes and lengths
for rated current and duty cycle. Length refers to the
distance from the welder to the work and back to the
welder. Cable diameters are increased for long cable
lengths to reduce voltage drops.

split for single phase 120 VAC operation.
The auxiliary power capacity is 10,000 watts Peak,
9,500 Watts Continuous of 60 Hz, single phase
power. The auxiliary power capacity rating in watts is
equivalent to volt-amperes at unity power factor. The
max permissible current of the 240 VAC output is 40
amps. The 240 VAC output can be split to provide
two separate 120 VAC outputs with a max permissible current of 40 Amps per output to two separate
120 VAC branch circuits (these circuits cannot be
paralleled). Output voltage is within ± 10% at all loads
up to rated capacity. All auxiliary power is protected
by circuit breakers.

• Install the double-pole, double-throw switch
between the power company meter and the premises disconnect. Switch rating must be the same or
greater than the customerʼs premises disconnect
and service over current protection.
• Take necessary steps to assure load is limited to
the capacity of the RANGER® 305D by installing a
50 amp, 240 VAC double pole circuit breaker.
Maximum rated load for each leg of the 240 VAC
auxiliary is 40 amperes. Loading above the rated
output will reduce output voltage below the allowable - 10% of rated voltage which may damage
appliances or other motor-driven equipment and
may result in overheating of the RANGER® 305D
engine and/or alternator windings.
• Install a 50 amp, 120/240 VAC plug (NEMA Type
14-50) to the double-pole circuit breaker using No.
6, 4 conductor cable of the desired length. (The 50
amp, 120/240 VAC plug is available in the optional
K802R plug kit or as part number T12153-9.)
• Plug this cable into the 50 Amp, 120/240 Volt receptacle on the RANGER® 305D case front.
The 120 V auxiliary power receptacles should only be
used with three wire grounded type plugs or
approved double insulated tools with two wire plugs.
The current rating of any plug used with the system
must be at least equal to the current capacity of the
associated receptacle.
NOTE: The 240 V receptacle has two 120 V circuits,
but are of opposite polarities and cannot be paralleled.
STANDBY POWER CONNECTIONS
The RANGER® 305D is suitable for temporary,
standby or emergency power using the engine manufacturerʼs recommended maintenance schedule.
The RANGER® 305D can be permanently installed
as a standby power unit for 240 VAC, 3 wire, single

The RANGER® 305D is a diesel engine powered DC
multi-process welding power source and 120 / 240
volt AC power generator. The engine drives a generator that supplies three phase power for the DC welding circuit and single phase power for the AC auxiliary
outlets. The DC welding control system uses state of
the art Chopper Technology (CT tm) for superior welding performance.
FOR AUXILIARY POWER:
Start the engine and set the IDLER control switch to
the desired operating mode. Full power is available
regardless of the welding control settings providing no
welding current is being drawn.
The auxiliary power of the RANGER® 305D consists
of two 20 Amp-120 VAC (5-20R) duplex receptacles
with GFCI protection and one 50 Amp 120/240 VAC
(14-50R) receptacle. The 240 VAC receptacle can be
split for single phase 120 VAC operation. Also refer to
the AUXILIARY POWER OPERATION section later in
this chapter.
ENGINE OPERATION
Before Starting the Engine:
• Be sure the machine is on a level surface.
• Open top & side engine doors and remove the
engine oil dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth.
Reinsert the dipstick and check the level on the dipstick.
• Fill the tank approximately 4 inches (100mm) from
the top of the filler neck to allow for fuel expansion .
DO NOT FILL THE TANK TO THE POINT OF
OVERFLOW.
• Replace the fuel cap and tighten securely.
• See Engine Ownerʼs Manual for specific fuel recommendations.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
Any engine will use a small amount of oil during its
“break-in” period. For the diesel engine on the
RANGER® 305D, break-in is about 50 running hours.
Check the oil every four hours during break-in.
Change the oil after the first 50 hours of
operation,every 100 hours thereafter. Change the oil
filter at the second oil change.
CAUTION
During break-in, subject the RANGER® 305D to
moderate loads. Avoid long periods running at
idle. Before stopping the engine, remove all loads
and allow the engine to cool several minutes.
used to preset the output voltage or current as displayed on the digital meters for the four welding
modes. When in the CC-STICK, DOWNHILL PIPE
or CV-WIRE modes and when a remote control is
connected to the 6-Pin or 14-Pin Connector, the
auto-sensing circuit automatically switches the
OUTPUT CONTROL from control at the welder to
the remote control.
In the CV-WIRE mode, when the wire feeder control cable is connected to the 14-Pin Connector, the
auto-sensing circuit automatically makes OUTPUT
CONTROL inactive and the wire feeder voltage
control active.
When in the TOUCH START TIG mode and when a
Amptrol is connected to the 6-Pin Connector, the
OUTPUT dial is used to set the maximum current
range of the CURRENT CONTROL of the Amptrol.

10. WIRE FEEDER VOLTMETER SWITCH:
ENGINE CONTROLS:
CC-STICK mode: In this mode, the ARC CONTROL dial
sets the short circuit current (arc-force) during stick welding
to adjust for a soft or crisp arc. Increasing the dial from –10
(soft) to +10 (crisp) increases the short circuit current and
prevents sticking of the electrode to the plate while welding.
This can also increase spatter. It is recommended that the
ARC CONTROL be set to the minimum number without
electrode sticking. Start with a setting at 0.
DOWNHILL PIPE mode: In this mode, the ARC CONTROL
dial sets the short circuit current (arc-force) during stick
welding to adjust for a soft or a more forceful digging arc
(crisp). Increasing the number from –10 (soft) to +10 (crisp)
increases the short circuit current which results in a more
forceful digging arc. Typically a forceful digging arc is preferred for root and hot passes. A softer arc is preferred for fill
and cap passes where weld puddle control and deposition
("stacking" of iron) are key to fast travel speeds. It is recommended that the ARC CONTROL be set initially at 0.
CV-WIRE mode: In this mode, turning the ARC CONTROL
clock wise from –10 (soft) to +10 (crisp) changes the arc
from soft and washed-in to crisp and narrow. It acts as an
inductance/pinch control. The proper setting depends on the
procedure and operator preference. Start with a setting of 0.

2) In the AUTO position, the idler operates as follows:
• When switched from HIGH to AUTO or after starting
the engine, the engine will operate at full speed for
approximately 12 seconds and then go to low idle
speed.
• When the electrode touches the work or power is
drawn for lights or tools (approximately 100 Watts
minimum), the engine accelerates and operates at
full speed.
• When welding ceases or the AC power load is
turned off, a fixed time delay of approximately 12
seconds starts. If the welding or AC power load is
not restarted before the end of the time delay, the
idler reduces the engine speed to low idle speed.
• The engine will automatically return to high idle

OPERATION
The Ranger® 305D can be used with a broad range of DC
stick electrodes. The MODE switch provides two stick
welding settings as follows:
B-5
It is recommended that the ARC CONTROL be set to the
minimum number without electrode sticking. Start with
the dial set at 0.
Constant Current (CC-STICK) Welding
The CC-STICK position of the MODE switch is designed
for horizontal and vertical-up welding with all types of electrodes, especially low hydrogen. The output CONTROL
dial adjusts the full output range for stick welding.
TIG WELDING
The TOUCH START TIG setting of the MODE switch is
for DC TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding. To initiate a
weld, the CONTROL dial is first set to the desired current
and the tungsten is touched to the work. During the time
the tungsten is touching the work there is very little volt-
The ARC CONTROL dial sets the short circuit current
(arc-force) during stick welding to adjust for a soft or crisp
arc. Increasing the number from -10(soft) to +10(crisp)
age or current and, in general, no tungsten contamination. Then, the tungsten is gently lifted off the work in a
rocking motion, which establishes the arc.
increases the short circuit current and prevents sticking of
the electrode to the plate while welding. This can also
increase spatter. It is recommended that the ARC CONTROL be set to the minimum number without electrode
sticking. Start with the dial set at 0.
DOWNHILL PIPE Welding
This slope controlled setting is intended for "out-of-position" and "down hill" pipe welding where the operator
would like to control the current level by changing the arc
length. The output CONTROL dial adjusts the full output
range for pipe welding. The ARC CONTROL dial sets the
short circuit current (arc-force) during stick welding to
adjust for a soft or more forceful digging arc (crisp).
When in the TOUCH START TIG mode and when a
Amptrol is connected to the 6-Pin connector the OUT-
PUT dial is used to set the maximum current range of the
current control of the Amptrol.
The ARC CONTROL is not active in the TIG mode. To
STOP a weld, simply pull the TIG torch away from the
work. When the arc voltage reaches approximately 30
Volts the arc will go out and the machine will reset the
current to the Touch Start level. To reinitiate the arc,
retouch the tungsten to the work and lift. Alternatively,
the weld can be stopped by releasing the Amptrol or arc
start switch.
Increasing the number from -10(soft) to +10(crisp)
increases the short circuit current which results in a more
forceful digging arc.Typically a forceful digging arc is preferred for root and hot passes. A softer arc is preferred for
fill and cap passes where weld puddle control and deposition (“stacking” of iron) are key to fast travel speeds. This
can also increase spatter.
The RANGER® 305 D can be used in a wide variety of
DC TIG welding applications. In general the ʻTouch Startʼ
feature allows contamination free starting without the use
of a Hi-frequency unit. If desired, the K930-2 TIG Module
can be used with the RANGER® 305 D. The settings are
for reference.

RANGER® 305 D settings when using the K930-2 TIG Module
with an Amptrol or Arc Start Switch:
• Set the MODE Switch to the TOUCH START TIG setting.
• Set the "IDLER" Switch to the "AUTO" position.
• Set the "WELDING TERMINALS" switch to the "REMOTELY
CONTROLLED" position. This will keep the "Solid State" contactor open and provide a "cold" electrode until the Amptrol or
Arc Start Switch is pressed.
When using the TIG Module, the OUTPUT control on the
RANGER® 305 D is used to set the maximum range of the CURRENT CONTROL on the TIG Module or an Amptrol if connected
to the TIG Module.
ARC GOUGING
The RANGER® 305D can be used for limited arc
gouging. For optimal performance, set the MODE
switch to CC-STICK and the ARC CONTROL to +10.
Set the OUTPUT CONTROL knob to adjust output
current to the desired level for the gouging electrode

The RANGER® 305 D in the CV-WIRE mode, permits it to be
used with a broad range of flux cored wire (Innershield and
Outershield) electrodes and solid wires for MIG welding (gas
metal arc welding). Welding can be finely tuned using the ARC
CONTROL. Turning the ARC CONTROL clockwise from –10
(soft) to +10 (crisp) changes the arc from soft and washed-in to
crisp and narrow. It acts as an inductance/pinch control. The
proper setting depends on the procedure and operator preference. Start with the dial set at 0.

AUXILIARY POWER:
If a GFCI receptacle is tripped, See the MAINTENANCE section for detailed information on testing and
resetting the GFCI receptacle.
Start the engine and set the IDLER control switch to
the desired operating mode. Full power is available
regardless of the welding control settings providing no
welding current is being drawn.
The auxiliary power of the RANGER® 305D consists
of two 20 Amp-120 VAC GFCI (5-20R) duplex receptacles and one 50 Amp 120/240 VAC (14-50R) receptacle. The 240 VAC receptacle can be split for single
phase 120 VAC operation. The auxiliary power capacity is 10,000 watts Peak, 9500 Watts continuous of 60
Hz, single phase power. The auxiliary power capacity
rating in watts is equivalent to volt-amperes at unity
power factor. The max permissible current of the 240
VAC output is 44 Amps. The 240 VAC output can be
split to provide two separate 120 VAC outputs with a
max permissible current of 44 Amps per output to two
separate 120 VAC branch circuits (these circuits cannot be paralleled). Output voltage is within ± 10% at
all loads up to rated capacity. All auxiliary power is
protected by circuit breakers.
The 120 V auxiliary power receptacles should only be
used with three wire grounded type plugs or approved
double insulated tools with two wire plugs. The current
rating of any plug used with the system must be at
least equal to the current capacity of the associated
receptacle.
NOTE: The 240 V receptacle has two circuits, each of
which measure 120 V to neutral but are of opposite
polarities and cannot be paralleled.
Simultaneous Welding and Auxiliary Power Loads
The above auxiliary power ratings are with no welding
load. Simultaneous welding and power loads are
specified in the following table. The permissible currents shown assume that current is being drawn from
either the 120 VAC or 240 VAC supply (not both at the

below). Replace and tighten the oil filler cap securely.
Oil Filter Change
• Drain the oil.
• Remove the oil filter with an oil filter wrench and
drain the oil into a suitable container. Discard the
used filter. Note: Care should be taken during filter
removal to not disrupt or damage in any way the fuel
lines.
• Clean the filter mounting base and coat the gasket
of the new filter with clean engine oil.
• Screw the new filter on by hand until the gasket con-
tacts the mounting base. Using an oil filter wrench,
tighten the filter an additional 1/2 to 7/8 of a turn.
• Refill the crankcase with the specified amount of the
recommended engine oil. Reinstall the oil filler cap
and tighten securely.
• Start the engine and check for oil filter leaks.
• Stop the engine and check the oil level. If neces-
sary, add oil to the upper limit mark on the dipstick.
• Push oil drain hose and valve back into unit, re-connect negative battery cable, and close doors and
engine top cover before restarting unit.Wash your
hands with soap and water after handling used
motor oil. Please dispose of used motor oil in a
manner that is compatible with the environment.
We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your
local service station or recycling center for reclamation. DO NOT throw it in the trash; pour it on the
ground or down a drain.
Engine Oil Refill capacities
Without oil filter replacement:
• 3.3 U.S. Quart. (2.7 Imp Quart, 3.2 liter)
With oil filter replacement:
• 3.4 U.S. Quart. (3.0 Imp Quart, 3.2 liter)
Use motor oil designed for diesel engines that meets
requirements for API service classification
CC/CD/CE/CF/CF-4/CG-4 or CH-4.
ACEA E1/E2/E3. Always check the API service label
on the oil container to be sure it includes the letters
indicated. (Note: An S-grade oil must not be used in a

unfiltered contaminant dropping into the engine.
Clean Both Surfaces of the Outlet Tube
and Check the Vacuator™ Valve
Use a clean cloth to wipe the filter sealing surface and the inside of
the outlet tube. Contaminant on the sealing surface could hinder an
effective seal and cause leakage. Make sure that all contaminant is
removed before the new filter is inserted. Dirt accidently transferred
to the inside of the outlet tube will reach the engine and cause
wear. Engine manufacturers say that it takes only a few grams of
dirt to "dust" an engine! Be careful not to damage the sealing area

the seal on a jar. Gently move the end of the filter
back and forth to break the seal then rotate while
pulling straight out. Avoid knocking the filter
against the housing.
Wipe both sides
of the outlet
tube clean.
Inspect the New Filter for Damage
Inspect the new filter carefully, paying attention to
the inside of the open end, which is the
sealing area. NEVER install a damaged
filter. A new Donaldson radial seal
filter may have a dry lubricant on the
seal to aid installation.
Insert the New Radial Seal Filter Properly
If you're servicing the safety filter, this should be seated into
position before installing the primary filter.
Insert the new filter carefully. Seat
the filter by hand, making certain it is
completely into the air cleaner housing
before securing the cover in place.
The critical sealing area will stretch
slightly, adjust itself and distribute the sealing pressure evenly. To
complete a tight seal, apply pressure by hand at the outer rim of
the filter, not the flexible center. (Avoid pushing on the center of the
urethane end cap.) No cover pressure is required to hold the seal.
NEVER use the service cover to push the filter into place! Using the
cover to push the filter in could cause damage to the housing, cover
fasteners and will void the warranty.
If the service cover hits the filter before it is fully in place, remove
the cover and push the filter (by hand) further into the air cleaner
and try again. The cover should go on with no extra force.
Once the filter is in place, secure the service cover.

Check Connectors for Tight Fit
Make sure that all mounting bands, clamps, bolts, and connections
in the entire air cleaner system are tight. Check for holes in piping
and repair if needed. Any leaks in your intake piping will send dust
directly to the engine!
Check the coolant level by observing the level in the
radiator and recovery bottle. Add 50/50 antifreeze /
water solution if the level is close to or below the
"LOW" mark. do not fill above the "FULL" mark.
Remove radiator cap and add coolant to radiator. Fill
up to the top of the tube in the radiator filler neck
which includes a connecting hose coming from the
thermostat housing.
To drain the coolant, open the petcock at the bottom
of the radiator. Open the radiator cap to allow complete drainage. (Tighten the petcock and refill with a
50/50 antifreeze/water solution.) Use an automotive
grade (low silicate) ethylene glycol antifreeze. The
cooling system capacity is 3.85 quarts (3.6L.).
Squeeze upper and lower radiator hoses while filling
to bleed air from system coolant. Replace and tighten

can burn skin.
At the end of each dayʼs use, refill the fuel tank to minimize moisture condensation and dirt contamination in
the fuel line. Do not overfill; leave room for the fuel to
expand.
Use only fresh, No. 2 grade DIESEL fuel. Do not use
kerosene.
See the Engine Operator's Manual for instructions on
replacing the fuel filter.
BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM
You may need to bleed air from the fuel system if the
fuel filter or fuel lines have been detached, the fuel
tank has been ran empty or after periods of long storage. It is recommended that the fuel shutoff valve be
closed during periods of non-use.
The Kubota D722 engine supplied with this welder is
equipped with an automatic bleeding mechanism that
helps purge the air from the mechanical fuel pump
system. It is generally not necessary to open a vent
screw or fuel line fitting to bleed the fuel system.
Operate the priming lever on the pump to assist starting after extended periods of non-use or out of fuel
conditions.
CAUTION
Always premix the antifreeze and clean tap water
before adding to the radiator. It is very important
that a precise 50/50 solution be used with this
engine year round. This gives proper cooling during hot weather and freezing protection to -34° F (37° C).
Cooling solution exceeding 50% ethylene glycol
can result in engine overheating and damage to
the engine. Coolant solution must be premixed
before adding to radiator.
Periodically remove the dirt from the radiator fins.
Periodically check the fan belt and radiator hoses.
Replace if signs of deterioration are found.
TIGHTENING THE FAN BELT
If the fan belt is loose, the engine can overheat and
the battery lose its charge. Check tightness by pressing on the belt midway between the pulleys. It should
deflect about .25 in. under a load of 20 lbs. (9 Kg) (6
mm).
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, do not bleed a hot
engine. This could cause fuel to spill onto a hot
exhaust manifold, creating a danger of fire.
2. Open the fuel shut off valve (vertical position of
handle) on the Fuel Filter.
3. Crank the engine by pressing the start button for 45
seconds.
4. Check to see that fuel is flowing through both fuel
filters
5. Follow the normal STARTING procedures.

RANGER® 305D
CLEANING THE BATTERY
Keep the battery clean by wiping it with a damp cloth
when dirty. If the terminals appear corroded, disconnect the battery cables and wash the terminals with an
ammonia solution or a solution of 1/4 pound (0.1113
kg) of baking soda and 1 quart (0.9461) of water. Be
sure the battery vent plugs (if equipped) are tight so
that none of the solution enters the cells.
After cleaning, flush the outside of the battery, the battery compartment, and surrounding areas with clear
water. Coat the battery terminals lightly with petroleum
jelly or a non-conductive grease to retard corrosion.
Keep the battery clean and dry. Moisture accumulation on the battery can lead to more rapid discharge
and early battery failure.
CHECKING THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
If battery cells are low, fill them to the neck of the filler
hole with distilled water and recharge. If one cell is
low, check for leaks.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
When you charge, jump, replace, or otherwise connect battery cables to the battery, be sure the polarity
is correct. Improper polarity can damage the charging
circuit. The RANGER® 305D positive (+) battery terminal has a red terminal cover.
If you need to charge the battery with an external
charger, disconnect the negative cable first, then the
positive cable before you attach the charger leads.
After the battery is charged, reconnect the positive
battery cable first and the negative cable last. Failure
to do so can result in damage to the internal charger
components.
Follow the instructions of the battery charger manufacturer for proper charger settings and charging time.
