WARNING
ʼs manual
General Description
The RANGER 305D (CE) is a diesel engine powered DC
multi-process welding power source and AC power
generator. The engine drives a generator that supplies
three-phase power for the DC welding circuit and threephase 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.
Location and Ventilation
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 (CE) 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 45 liters
(12 gallons).

Lifting
The machine weighs approximately 374 kg. (824 lbs)
with a full tank of fuel. A lift bail is mounted to the
machine and should always be used when lifting the
machine.
WARNING
Falling equipment can cause injury.
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.
Do not lift machine if lift bail is damaged.
Do not operate machine while suspended from lift
bail.
High Altitude Operation
At higher altitudes, output derating may be necessary.
For maximum rating, derate the machine 2.5% to 3.5%
for every 305m (1000ft.). Due to new EPA and other
local emissions regulations, modifications to the engine
for high altitude are restricted within the United States
and some European Countries. Use above 1828m
(6000 ft.) may be limited due to poor engine
performance or excessive exhaust smoke. An
authorized Kubota engine field service shop should be
contacted to deter-mine if any adjustments can be made
for operation in higher elevations locally.
High Temperature Operation
At temperatures above 40°C,welder output derating is
necessary. For maximum output ratings, derate the
welder output 2 volts for every 10°C above 40°C
Cold Weather Starting
With a fully charged battery and the proper oil, the
engine should start satisfactorily down to about -15°C. If
the engine must be frequently started at or below -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 -5°C. Allow the engine to warm
up before applying a load or switching to high idle.
WARNING
NOTE: Extreme cold weather starting may require
longer glow plug operation. Under no conditions should
ether or other starting fluids be used!
Towing
Check with distributor for the recommended trailer for
use with this equipment for road, in-plant and yard
towing by a vehicle. 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:
Design capacity of trailer vs. weight of Lincoln
equipment and likely additional attachments.
Proper support of, and attachment to, the base of
the welding equipment so there will be no undue
stress to the framework.
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.
Typical conditions of use, i.e., travel speed;
roughness of surface on which the trailer will be
operated; environmental conditions; like
maintenance.
Conformance with laws in nation / region to be
used.

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 Operator's
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 Operator's Manual for more details on the
proper service and maintenance intervals.
Fuel
Use Diesel fuel only.
WARNING
Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh fuel. The capacity of
the tank is about 45 l.
WARNING
NOTE: A fuel shut off valve is located on the
prefilter/sediment filter. Which should be in the closed
position when the welder is not operated for extended
periods of time.
