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.

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.
When this welder is mounted on a truck or trailer, itʼs
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.
Where this engine driven welder is connected to
premises wiring such as that in your home or shop, itʼs
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.
Because this portable engine driven welder or generator creates itʼs own power, it is not necessary to connect itʼs frame to an earth ground, unless the machine
is connected to premises wiring (your home, shop,
etc.).
WARNING
To prevent dangerous electric shock, other equipment to which this engine driven welder supplies
power must:
• be grounded to the frame of the welder using a
grounded type plug, or be double insulated.
Do not ground the machine to a pipe that carries
explosive or combustible material.
Some federal, state, or local laws may require that
gasoline 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, the K1898-1 spark arrester must be
installed and properly maintained.
CAUTION
An incorrect arrester may lead to damage to the
engine or adversely affect performance.
The recommended trailer for use with this equipment
for road, in-plant and yard towing by a vehicle
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.
(1)
is
2. Proper support of, and attachment to, the base of
the welding equipment so there will be no undue
stress to the framework.
RANGER®250 GXT

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; rough-
ness of surface on which the trailer will be operated;
environmental conditions.
5. Conformance with federal, state and local laws
(1) Consult applicable federal, state and local laws regarding specific
requirements for use on public highways.

INSTALLATION
WELDING OUTPUT CABLES
With the engine off, connect the electrode and work
cables to the studs provided. These connections
should be checked periodically and tightened if necessary. Loose connections will result in overheating of
the output studs.
When welding at a considerable distance from the
welder, be sure you use ample size welding cables.
Listed below are copper cable sizes recommended for
the rated current and duty cycle. Lengths stipulated
are the distance from the welder to work and back to
the welder again. Cable sizes are increased for
greater lengths primarily for the purpose of minimizing
cable voltage drop.

ANGLE OF OPERATION
Internal combustion engines are designed to run in a
level condition which is where the optimum performance is achieved. The maximum angle of operation
for the engine is 15 degrees from horizontal in any
direction. If the engine is to be operated at an angle,
provisions must be made for checking and maintaining the oil at the normal (FULL) oil capacity in the
crankcase in a level condition.
When operating at an angle, the effective fuel capacity
will be slightly less than the specified 12 Gal. (45 L).

ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTION
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, Welder output de-rating may be
necessary. For maximum rating, de-rate the welder
output 3.5% for every 1000 ft. (305m) above 3000 ft.
(914m). If operation will consistently be at altitudes
above 5,000 ft. (1525m), a carburetor jet designed for
high altitudes should be installed. This will result in
better fuel economy, cleaner exhaust and longer
spark plug life. It will not give increased power.
Contact your local authorized engine service shop for
high altitude jet kits that are available from the engine
manufacturer.
CAUTION
Do not operate with a high altitude jet installed at
altitudes below 5000 ft. This will result in the
engine running too lean and result in higher
engine operating temperatures which can shorten
engine life.
The Ranger®250 GXT weighs approximately
646lbs.(293kg) with a full tank of gasoline. A lift bail is
mounted to the machine and should always be used
when lifting the machine.

120/240 VOLT DUAL VOLTAGE RECEPTACLE
The 120/240 volt receptacle can supply up to 42
amps of 240 volt power to a two wire circuit, up to 42
amps of 120 volts power from each side of a three
wire circuit (up to 84 amps total). Do not connect the
120 volt circuits in parallel. Current sensing for the
automatic idle feature is only in one leg of the three
wire circuit as shown in the following column.
GND
The Ranger®250 GXT can provide up to 10,000 watts
of 120/240 volts AC, single phase 60Hz power for
continuous use, and up to 11,000 watts of 120/240
volts AC, single phase 60Hz power peak use. The
front of the machine includes three receptacles for
connecting the AC power plugs; one 50 amp 120/240
volt NEMA 14-50R receptacle and two 20 amp 120
volt NEMA 5-20R receptacles. Output voltage is within
+/-10% at all loads up to rated capacity.
All auxiliary power is protected by circuit breakers. the
120V has 20 Amp circuit breakers for each duplex
receptacle. The 120/240V Single Phase has a 50 Amp
2-pole Circuit Breaker that disconnects both hot leads
simultaneously.
CAUTION
Do not connect any plugs that connect to the
power receptacles in parallel.
Start the engine and set the “IDLER” control switch to
the desired operating mode. Set the “CONTROL” to
10. Voltage is now correct at the receptacles for auxiliary power.

120 V DUPLEX RECEPTACLES
The 120V 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 load through the
associated receptacle.
MOTOR STARTING
Most 1.5 hp AC single phase motors can be started if
there is no load on the motor or other load connected
to the machine, since the full load current rating of a
1.5 hp motor is approximately 20 amperes (10
amperes for 240 volt motors). The motor may be run
at full load when plugged into only one side of the
duplex receptacle. Larger motors through 2 hp can be
run provided the receptacle rating as previously stated
is not exceeded. This may necessitate 240V operation
only.

AUXILIARY POWER WHILE WELDING
Simultaneous welding and power loads are permitted
by following Table I. The permissible currents shown
assume that current is being drawn from either the
120V or 240V supply (not both at the same time).
Also, the “Output Control” is set at “10” for maximum
auxiliary power.
1. Install a 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
overcurrent protection.
2. Take necessary steps to assure load is limited to
the capacity of the Ranger
50 amp 240V double pole circuit breaker.
Maximum rated load for the 240V auxiliary is 42
amperes. Loading above 42 amperes will reduce
output voltage below the allowable -10% of rated
voltage which may damage appliances or other
motor-driven equipment.
3. Install a 50 amp 120/240V plug (NEMA type 14-50)
to the Double Pole Circuit Breaker using No. 8,
4 conductor cable of the desired length. (The

WELDER CONTROLS - FUNCTION AND
OPERATION
ENGINE SWITCH
The engine switch is used to Start the Engine, Select
High Idle or Auto Idle while the engine is running, and
stop the Engine.
When placed in the “OFF” position, the ignition
circuit is de-energized to shut down the engine.
When held in the “START” position, the engine
starter motor is energized.
When in “HIGH IDLE” ( ) position, the engine will
run continuously at high idle.
• Read carefully the Safety Precautions page
before operating this machine. Always follow
these and any other safety procedures included
in this manual and in the Engine Instruction
Manual.
The Ranger®250 GXT is a twin-cylinder, gasoline driven, multiprocess arc welder and AC power generator. It is built in a heavy gauge steel case for durability
on the job site.
Codes 11792 and above meet EPA evaporative emission requirements.
When in “AUTO IDLE” ( / ) position, the
engine will run continuously and the idler operates as
follows:
•Welding
When the electrode touches the work, the welding
arc is initiated and the engine accelerates to full
speed.
After welding ceases (and no auxiliary power is
being drawn), the engine will return to low idle
after approximately 10 to 14 seconds.
•Auxiliary Power
With the engine running at low idle and auxiliary
power for lights or tools is drawn (approximately
100-150 watts or greater) from the receptacles,
the engine will accelerate to high speed. If no
power is being drawn from the receptacles (and
not welding) for 10-14 seconds, the idler reduces
the engine speed to low idle.

KOHLER ENGINE - Always pull the choke control out
when starting the engine; cold, warm or hot.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Remove all welding and auxiliary power loads and
allow engine to run at low idle speed for a few minutes
to cool the engine.
Stop the engine by placing the Engine switch in the
“OFF” position.
A fuel shut off valve is not required on the Ranger
250 GXT because the fuel tank is mounted below the
engine.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
It is normal for any engine to use a greater amount of
oil until the break-in is accomplished. Check the oil
level twice a day during the break-in period (approximately 50 running hours).
IMPORTANT: IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THIS
BREAK-IN, THE UNIT SHOULD BE
SUBJECTED TO MODERATE
LOADS, WITHIN THE RATING OF
THE MACHINE. AVOID LONG IDLE
RUNNING PERIODS. REMOVE
LOADS AND ALLOW ENGINE TO
COOL BEFORE SHUTDOWN.
The engine manufacturerʼs recommendation for the
running time until the first oil change is as follows:
®
Turn the engine switch to the “start”posi tion and
crank the engine until it starts. Release the switch as
soon as the engine starts, slowly return the choke
control to the full “in” position (choke open),
and turn the switch to the Auto Idle(/ )
position. Do not turn the switch to the “start” position
while the engine is running because this will cause
damage to the ring gear and/or starter motor

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Have qualified personnel do the maintenance
work. Turn the engine off before working inside
the machine. 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.
Do not put your hands near the engine cooling
blower fan. If a problem cannot be corrected by
following the instructions, take the machine to
the nearest Lincoln Field Service Shop.
Read the Safety Precautions in the front of this manual
and the engine instruction manual before working on

moving parts when starting, operating, or repairing the
equipment.
Routine Maintenance
• At the end of each dayʼs use, refill the fuel tank to
minimize moisture condensation in the tank.
Running out of fuel tends to draw dirt into the fuel
system. Also, check the crankcase oil level and
add oil if indicated.
Make certain that the oil filler cap is securely tightened after checking or adding oil. If the cap is not
tight, oil consumption can increase significantly
which may be evidenced by white smoke coming
from the exhaust.
• OIL - Maintenance schedule for changing the oil and
oil filter after break-in :

ENGINE ADJUSTMENTS
OVERSPEED IS HAZARDOUS
WARNING
The maximum allowable high idle speed for this
machine is 3750 RPM, no load. Do NOT tamper
with governor components or setting or make any
other adjustments to increase the maximum
speed. Severe personal injury and damage to the
machine can result if operated at speeds above
maximum.
Adjustments to the engine are to be made only by a
Lincoln Service Center or an authorized Field Service
Shop.
SLIP RINGS
A slight amount of darkening and wear of the slip rings
and brushes is normal. Brushes should be inspected
when a general overhaul is necessary.If brushes are
to be replaced, clean slip rings with a fine emery
paper.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to polish slip rings while engine is
running.
• Keep sparks, flame and cigarettes away from battery.
To prevent EXPLOSION when:
• INSTALLING A NEW BATTERY - disconnect negative
cable from old battery first and connect to new battery last.
• CONNECTING A BATTERY CHARGER - Remove battery from welder by disconnecting negative cable
first, then positive cable and battery clamp. When
reinstalling, connect negative cable last. Keep well
ventilated.
• USING A BOOSTER - connect positive lead to battery
first then connect negative lead to engine foot.
BATTERY ACID CAN BURN EYES AND SKIN.
• Wear gloves and eye protection and be careful when
working near battery. Follow instructions printed on
battery.
BATTERY
1. When replacing, jumping, or otherwise connecting
the battery to the battery cables, the proper
polarity must be observed. Failure to observe
the proper polarity could result in damage to the
charging circuit. The positive (+) battery cable
has a red terminal cover.
2.If the battery requires charging from an external
charger, disconnect the negative battery cable
first and then the positive battery cable before
attaching the charger leads. Failure to do so
can result in damage to the internal charger
components. When reconnecting the cables,
connect the positive cable first and the negative
cable last.
