STORING

1. Store the machine in a cool, dry place when it is not

in use. Protect it from dust and dirt. Keep it where

it canʼt be accidentally damaged from construction

activities, moving vehicles, and other hazards.

2. If you will be storing the machine for over 30 days,

you should drain the coolant from the radiator.

Open the cock at the bottom of the radiator and

remove the pressure cap so that the coolant drains

completely. Attach a note that says “NO WATER”

on the radiator.

3. While the engine is still warm, drain the oil and refill

with fresh 10W30 oil. Change the oil filter. Run the

engine for about five minutes to circulate oil to all

the parts. See the Maintenance section for details

on changing oil.

4. Remove the battery, recharge it, and adjust the

electrolyte level. Store the battery in a dry, dark

place.

5. If the engine is not used for a long period of time,

every two or three months fill the radiator and run

the engine for about five minutes to keep it free

from rust.

Also see your engine Operatorʼs manual.

Fuel should also be drained when stored for long peri-

ods or a fuel additive should be used.

STACKING

Ranger 305D machines CANNOT be stacked.

ANGLE OF OPERATION

Engines are designed to run in the level of condition

which is where the optimum performance is achieved.

The maximum angle of continuous operation is 20

degrees in all directions. 30 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 (45 ltrs.)

LOCATION AND VENTILATION

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. Allow a mini-

mum clearance of 2 feet (0.6m) from the case back

and 16in. (406mm) from either side of the base to a

vertical surface. Also, locate the welder so that the

engine exhaust fumes are properly vented to an out-

side area.

Read this entire installation section before you

start installation.
