Foradditional safety information, it is strongly recommended that you purchase a copy of “Safety in Welding & Cutting - ANSI Standard Z49.1” from the American Welding Society, P.O. Box 351040, Miami, Florida 33135 or CSA Standard W117.2-1974. A Free copy of “Arc Welding Safety” booklet E205 is available from the Lincoln Electric Company, 22801 St. Clair Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44117-1199.
BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION,MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES AREPERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.
FOR ENGINE POWEREDEQUIPMENT.
1.a. Turn the engine off before troubleshootingand maintenance work unless themaintenance work requires it to be running.
1.b. Operate engines in open, well-ventilated areas or vent the engineexhaust fumes outdoors.
1.c. Do not add the fuel near an open flame weldingarc or when the engine is running. Stop theengine and allow it to cool before refueling toprevent spilled fuel from vaporizing on contact
with hot engine parts and igniting. Do not spill fuel when fillingtank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not start engine untilfumes have been eliminated.
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 orrepairing equipment.
1.e. In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety guards toperform required maintenance. Remove guards only whennecessary and replace them when the maintenance requiringtheir removal is complete. Always use the greatest care whenworking near moving parts.
1.f. Do not put your hands near the engine fan. Do not attempt tooverride the governor or idler by pushing on the throttle controlrods while the engine is running.
1.g. To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines while turningthe engine or welding generator during maintenance work,disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap or magneto wireas appropriate.
1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the radiatorpressure cap when the engine is hot.
ELECTRIC ANDMAGNETIC FIELDS MAYBE DANGEROUS
2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductorcauses localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding current creates EMF fields around welding cables and welding machines
2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and welders having a pacemaker should consult their physicianbefore welding.
2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health effectswhich are now not known.
2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order tominimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:
2.d.1. Route the electrode and work cables together - Securethem 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 workcables. If the electrode cable is on your right side, thework cable should also be on your right side.
2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as pos-sible to the area being welded.
2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.
SAFETY
Safety 02 of 04 - 5/16/2018
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL.
3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits areelectrically “hot” when the welder is on. Donot 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 areaof 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 weldinggun are also electrically “hot”.
3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electricalconnection with the metal being welded. The connection shouldbe 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 andwelding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replacedamaged insulation.
3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of electrodeholders connected to two welders because voltage between thetwo can be the total of the open circuit voltage of bothwelders.
3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protectyourself from a fall should you get a shock.
3.j. Also see It ems 6.c. and 8.
ARC RAYS CAN BURN.
4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect youreyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding orobserving open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens shouldconform to ANSI Z87. I standards.
4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant materialto protect your skin and that of your helpers from the arc rays.
4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammablescreening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor exposethemselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.
FUMES AND GASESCAN BE DANGEROUS.
5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gaseshazardous to health. Avoid breathing thesefumes and gases. When welding, keep your head out of the fume.Use enough ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep fumesand gases away from the breathing zone. When welding
hardfacing (see instructions on container or SDS)
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
unless exposure assessments indicate otherwise.
In confined spaces or in some circumstances,
outdoors, a respirator may also be required.
Additional precautions are also required when
welding
on galvanized steel.
5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected byvarious factors including proper use and positioning of theequipment, maintenance of the equipment and the specificwelding procedure and application involved. Worker exposurelevel should be checked upon installation and periodicallythereafter to be certain it is within applicable OSHA PEL andACGIH TLV limits.
5.c. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vaporscoming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations. Theheat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to formphosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.
5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and causeinjury or death. Always use enough ventilation, especially inconfined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.
5.e. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for thisequipment and the consumables to be used, including theSafety Data Sheet (SDS) and follow your employer’s safetypractices. SDS forms are available from your weldingdistributor or from the manufacturer.
5.f. Also see item 1.b.
SAFETY
Safety 03 of 04 - 5/16/2018
WELDING AND CUTTINGSPARKS CAN CAUSEFIRE OR EXPLOSION.
6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. Ifthis is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparksfrom starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and hotmaterials from welding can easily go through small cracks andopenings 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, specialprecautions 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 istouching the work or ground. Accidental contact can causeoverheating and create a fire hazard.
6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until theproper 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 SafePractices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting ofContainers 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 orwelding. They may explode.
6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil freeprotective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cufflesstrousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugswhen welding out of position or in confined places. Always wearsafety glasses with side shields when in a welding area.
6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding areaas practical. Work cables connected to the building framework orother locations away from the welding area increase thepossibility of the welding current passing through lifting chains,crane cables or other alternate circuits. This can create firehazards or overheat lifting chains or cables until they fail.
6.h. Also see item 1.c.
6.I. Read and follow NFPA 51B “Standard for Fire Prevention DuringWelding, Cutting and Other Hot Work”, available from NFPA, 1Batterymarch Park, PO box 9101, Quincy, MA 022690-9101.
6.j. Do not use a welding power source for pipe thawing.
CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IFDAMAGED.
7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders containingthe correct shielding gas for the process usedand properly operating regulators designed forthe gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings,etc. should be suitable for the application andmaintained in good condition.
7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained toan undercarriage or fixed support.
7.c. Cylinders should be located:
• Away from areas where they may be struck or subjectedto physical damage.
• A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operationsand any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.
7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any otherelectrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.
7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outletwhen opening the cylinder valve.
7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tightexcept 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 forSafe Handling of Compressed Gases in Cylinders,” available fromthe Compressed Gas Association, 14501 George Carter WayChantilly, VA 20151.

LIFTINGThe RANGER® 305D weighs approximately775lbs.(352kg.) with a full tank of fuel (698 lbs. lessfuel). A lift bail is mounted to the machine and shouldalways be used when lifting the machine.
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATIONAt higher altitudes, output derating may be necessary. For max-imum 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 withinthe United States and some other European Countries. Useabove 6000 ft.(1828 m) may be limited due to poor engine per-formance or excessive exhaust smoke. An authorized Kubotaengine field service shop should be contacted to determine ifany adjustments can be made for operation in higher elevationslocally.
HIGH TEMPERATURE OPERATIONAt temperatures above 104°F(40°C), Welder output derating isnecessary. For maximum output ratings, derate the welder out-put 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 toabout 5°F (-15°C). If the engine must be frequentlystarted at or below 23°F (-5°C), it may be desirable toinstall cold-starting aides. The use of No. 1D dieselfuel is recommended in place of No. 2D at tempera-tures below 23°F (-5°C). Allow the engine to warm upbefore applying a load or switching to high idle.Note: Extreme cold weather starting may requirelonger glow plug operation.

WELDING CONTROLS (Figure B.1)
1. OUTPUT CONTROL- The OUTPUT dial isused to preset the output voltage or current as dis-played on the digital meters for the four weldingmodes. When in the CC-STICK, DOWNHILL PIPEor CV-WIRE modes and when a remote control isconnected to the 6-Pin or 14-Pin Connector, theauto-sensing circuit automatically switches theOUTPUT CONTROL from control at the welder tothe remote control.
In the CV-WIRE mode, when the wire feeder con-trol cable is connected to the 14-Pin Connector, theauto-sensing circuit automatically makes OUTPUTCONTROL inactive and the wire feeder voltagecontrol active.
When in the TOUCH START TIG mode and when aAmptrol is connected to the 6-Pin Connector, theOUTPUT dial is used to set the maximum currentrange of the CURRENT CONTROL of the Amptrol.
2. DIGITAL OUTPUT METERS-The digitalmeters allow the output voltage (CV-WIRE mode)or current (CC-STICK,DOWN HILL PIPE and TIGmodes) to be set prior to welding using the OUT-PUT control dial. During welding, the meter dis-play the actual output voltage (VOLTS) and cur-rent (AMPS). A memory feature holds the displayof both meters on for seven seconds after weldingis stopped. This allows the operator to read theactual current and voltage just prior to when weld-ing was ceased.
While the display is being held the left-most deci-mal point in each display will be flashing. Theaccuracy of the meters is +/- 3%.

4. ARC CONTROL- The ARC CONTROL dial is active inthe CV-WIRE, CC-STICK and DOWNHILL PIPE modes,and has different functions in these modes. This control isnot active in the TIG mode.
CC-STICK mode: In this mode, the ARC CONTROL dialsets the short circuit current (arc-force) during stick weldingto adjust for a soft or crisp arc. Increasing the dial from –10(soft) to +10 (crisp) increases the short circuit current andprevents sticking of the electrode to the plate while welding.This can also increase spatter. It is recommended that theARC CONTROL be set to the minimum number withoutelectrode sticking. Start with a setting at 0.
DOWNHILL PIPE mode: In this mode, the ARC CONTROLdial sets the short circuit current (arc-force) during stickwelding 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 moreforceful digging arc. Typically a forceful digging arc is pre-ferred for root and hot passes. A softer arc is preferred for filland cap passes where weld puddle control and deposition("stacking" of iron) are key to fast travel speeds. It is recom-mended that the ARC CONTROL be set initially at 0.
CV-WIRE mode: In this mode, turning the ARC CONTROLclock wise from –10 (soft) to +10 (crisp) changes the arcfrom soft and washed-in to crisp and narrow. It acts as aninductance/pinch control. The proper setting depends on theprocedure and operator preference. Start with a setting of 0.
5. WELD OUTPUT TERMINALS WITH FLANGENUT- Provides a connection point for the electrode andwork cables.
6. GROUND STUD- Provides a connection point forconnecting the machine case to earth ground.
7. 14-PIN CONNECTOR- For attaching wire feeder con-trol cables to the RANGER® 305D. Includes contactor clo-sure circuit, auto-sensing remote control circuit, and 120Vand 42V power. The remote control circuit operates thesame as the 6 Pin Amphenol.
8. 6-PIN CONNECTOR- For attaching optional remotecontrol equipment. Includes auto-sensing remote controlcircuit.
9. WELD TERMINALS CONTROL SWITCH- In theWELD TERMINALS ON position, the output is electricallyhot all the time. In the REMOTELY CONTROLLED posi-tion, the output is controlled by a wire feeder or amptroldevice, and is electrically off until a remote switch isdepressed.
10. WIRE FEEDER VOLTMETER SWITCH:Matches the polarity of the wire feeder voltmeter tothe polarity of the electrode.
ENGINE CONTROLS: (Figure B.2)
11. RUN/STOP SWITCH - RUN position energizesthe engine prior to starting. STOP position stops theengine. The oil pressure interlock switch preventsbattery drain if the switch is left in the RUN positionand the engine is not operating.
12. GLOW PLUG PUSH BUTTON -
• When pushed activates the glow plugs. Glow plugshould not be activated for more than 20 secondscontinuously.
13. START PUSH BUTTON - Energizes the starter motor to crank theengine.
14. IDLER SWITCH- Has two positions as follows:1) In the HIGH position, the engine runs at the highidle speed controlled by the engine governor.
2) In the AUTO position, the idler operates as follows:• When switched from HIGH to AUTO or after startingthe engine, the engine will operate at full speed forapproximately 12 seconds and then go to low idlespeed.• When the electrode touches the work or power isdrawn for lights or tools (approximately 100 Wattsminimum), the engine accelerates and operates atfull speed.• When welding ceases or the AC power load isturned off, a fixed time delay of approximately 12seconds starts. If the welding or AC power load isnot restarted before the end of the time delay, theidler reduces the engine speed to low idle speed.• The engine will automatically return to high idlespeed when there is welding load or AC power loadreapplied.

gauge gives accurate and reliable indication as tohow much fuel is in the fuel tank.
16. ENGINE HOUR METER- Displays the totaltime that the engine has been running. This meteris useful for scheduling prescribed maintenance.
17. ENGINE PROTECTION LIGHT- A warningindicator light for Low Oil Pressure and/or CoolantOver Temperature. The light is off when the sys-tems are functioning properly. The light turns onwhen the RUN-STOP switch is in the “ON” posi-tion prior to starting the engine. If the EngineProtection or Battery Charging Lights do “not”turn off shortly after starting the engine shut offthe engine immediately and determine the cause.

6. Release the engine START button immediatelywhen the engine starts.
7. Release the glow plug button after the EngineProtection Light turns off or after an additional 5seconds maximum.
8. The engine will run at high idle speed for approxi-mately 12 seconds and then drop to low idle speed.Allow the engine to warm up at low idle for severalminutes before applying a load and/or switching tohigh idle. Allow a longer warm up time in coldweather.
NOTE: If the unit fails to start repeat step 4 throughstep 7 after waiting 30 seconds
• Do not allow the starter motor to run continuouslyfor more than 20 seconds.
• Do not push the START button while the engineis running because this can damage the ringgear and/or the starter motor.
• IF the Engine Protection or Battery ChargingLights do “not” turn off shortly after starting theengine shut off the engine immediately and determine the cause.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: When starting a RANGER® 305D for the firsttime, or after and extended period of time of not oper-ating, it will take longer than normal because the fuelpump has to fill the fuel system.
STOPPING THE ENGINERemove all welding and auxiliary power loads andallow the engine to run at low idle speed for a fewminutes to cool the engine.
STOP the engine by placing the RUN-STOP switch inthe STOP position.
NOTE: A fuel shut off valve is located on the fuel pre-filter.

(5) TIG torch nozzles are typically made from alumina ceramic. Special applications may require lava nozzles, which are less prone to breakage, but cannot withstand high temperatures
B-5OPERATIONB-5The Ranger® 305D can be used with a broad range of DCstick electrodes. The MODE switch provides two stickwelding settings as follows:
Constant Current (CC-STICK) WeldingThe CC-STICK position of the MODE switch is designedfor horizontal and vertical-up welding with all types ofelectrodes, especially low hydrogen. The output CON-TROL dial adjusts the full output range for stick welding.
The ARC CONTROL dial sets the short circuit current(arc-force) during stick welding to adjust for a soft or crisparc. Increasing the number from -10(soft) to +10(crisp)increases the short circuit current and prevents sticking ofthe electrode to the plate while welding. This can alsoincrease spatter. It is recommended that the ARC CON-TROL be set to the minimum number without electrodesticking. Start with the dial set at 0.
DOWNHILL PIPE WeldingThis slope controlled setting is intended for "out-of-posi-tion" and "down hill" pipe welding where the operatorwould like to control the current level by changing the arclength. The output CONTROL dial adjusts the full outputrange for pipe welding. The ARC CONTROL dial sets theshort circuit current (arc-force) during stick welding toadjust for a soft or more forceful digging arc (crisp).Increasing the number from -10(soft) to +10(crisp)increases the short circuit current which results in a moreforceful digging arc.Typically a forceful digging arc is pre-ferred for root and hot passes. A softer arc is preferred forfill and cap passes where weld puddle control and deposi-tion (“stacking” of iron) are key to fast travel speeds. Thiscan also increase spatter.
It is recommended that the ARC CONTROL be set to theminimum number without electrode sticking. Start withthe dial set at 0.
TIG WELDINGThe TOUCH START TIG setting of the MODE switch isfor DC TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding. To initiate aweld, the CONTROL dial is first set to the desired currentand the tungsten is touched to the work. During the timethe tungsten is touching the work there is very little volt-age or current and, in general, no tungsten contamina-tion. Then, the tungsten is gently lifted off the work in arocking motion, which establishes the arc.
When in the TOUCH START TIG mode and when aAmptrol is connected to the 6-Pin connector the OUT-PUT dial is used to set the maximum current range of thecurrent control of the Amptrol.
The ARC CONTROL is not active in the TIG mode. ToSTOP a weld, simply pull the TIG torch away from thework. When the arc voltage reaches approximately 30Volts the arc will go out and the machine will reset thecurrent 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 arcstart switch.
The RANGER® 305 D can be used in a wide variety ofDC TIG welding applications. In general the ‘Touch Start’feature allows contamination free starting without the useof a Hi-frequency unit. If desired, the K930-2 TIG Modulecan be used with the RANGER® 305 D. The settings arefor reference.

The RANGER® 305 D in the CV-WIRE mode, permits it to beused with a broad range of flux cored wire (Innershield andOutershield) electrodes and solid wires for MIG welding (gasmetal arc welding). Welding can be finely tuned using the ARCCONTROL. Turning the ARC CONTROL clockwise from –10(soft) to +10 (crisp) changes the arc from soft and washed-in tocrisp and narrow. It acts as an inductance/pinch control. Theproper setting depends on the procedure and operator prefer-ence. Start with the dial set at 0.
Listed below are some wires suitable for use on this machine:
• Innershield - NR-311, NS-3M, NR-207, NR-203 Ni 1%,NR-212.• Outershield - 0S-70, 0S-71M, 0S-71 ELITE.• Solid wires for MIG welding - .035 (0.9 mm), and .045 (1.1 mm), Super Arc L-50 and L-56, .035 (0.9 mm) and .045 (1.1 mm) Blue Max MIG 308 LS.

With oil filter replacement:• 3.4 U.S. Quart. (3.0 Imp Quart, 3.2 liter)
Use motor oil designed for diesel engines that meetsrequirements for API service classif icationCC/CD/CE/CF/CF-4/CG-4 or CH-4.ACEA E1/E2/E3. Always check the API service labelon the oil container to be sure it includes the lettersindicated. (Note: An S-grade oil must not be used in adiesel engine or damage may result. It IS permissibleto use an oil that meets S and C grade service classifi-cations.)SAE 10W30 is recommended for general, all tempera-ture use, 5F to 104F (-15C to 40C).See engine owner’s manual for more specific informa-tion on oil viscosity recommendations.
Oil Filter Change• Drain the oil.
• Remove the oil filter with an oil filter wrench anddrain the oil into a suitable container. Discard theused filter. Note: Care should be taken during filterremoval to not disrupt or damage in any way the fuellines.
• Clean the filter mounting base and coat the gasketof 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 therecommended engine oil. Reinstall the oil filler capand 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.
• Never use gasoline or low flash point solventsfor cleaning the air cleaner element. A fire orexplosion could result.
• Never run the engine without the air cleaner.Rapid engine wear will result from contaminants,such as dust and dirt being drawn into theengine.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------AIR CLEANER
The diesel engine is equipped with a dry type air filter.Never apply oil to it. Service the air cleaner as follows:
Replace the element at least every 200 hours ofoperation and sooner under dusty conditions.

Unfasten or unlatch theservice cover. Becausethe filter fits tightly over theoutlet tube to create the critical seal, there willbe some initial resistance, similar to breakingthe seal on a jar. Gently move the end of the filterback and forth to break the seal then rotate whilepulling straight out. Avoid knocking the filteragainst the housing.
Remove the FilterRemove the Filter
Rotate thefilter whilepullingstraight out.
If your air cleaner has a safety filter, replace it every third primaryfilter change. Remove the safety filter as you would the primaryfilter. Make sure you cover the air cleaner outlet tube to avoid anyunfiltered contaminant dropping into the engine.
If your air cleaner is equipped with a Vacuator ValveVisually check and physically squeeze to make sure thevalve is flexible and not inverted, damaged or plugged.
Inspect the new filter carefully, paying attention tothe inside of the open end, which is thesealing area. NEVER install a damagedfilter. A new Donaldson radial sealfilter may have a dry lubricant on theseal to aid installation.
If you're servicing the safety filter, this should be seated intoposition before installing the primary filter.
Insert the new filter carefully. Seat the filter by hand, making certain it iscompletely into the air cleaner housingbefore securing the cover in place.
If the service cover hits the filter before it is fully in place, removethe cover and push the filter (by hand) further into the air cleanerand try again. The cover should go on with no extra force.
Once the filter is in place, secure the service cover.
Make sure that all mounting bands, clamps, bolts, and connectionsin the entire air cleaner system are tight. Check for holes in pipingand repair if needed. Any leaks in your intake piping will send dustdirectly to the engine!
The critical sealing area will stretchslightly, adjust itself and distribute the sealing pressure evenly. Tocomplete a tight seal, apply pressure by hand at the outer rim ofthe filter, not the flexible center. (Avoid pushing on the center of theurethane end cap.) No cover pressure is required to hold the seal.NEVER use the service cover to push the filter into place! Using thecover to push the filter in could cause damage to the housing, coverfasteners and will void the warranty.
Visually inspect the old filter for any signsof leaks. A streak of dust on the clean sideof the filter is a telltale sign. Remove anycause of leaks before installing new filter.

HOT COOLANT can burn skin.
• Do not remove cap if radiator ishot.
------------------------------------------------------------------------Check the coolant level by observing the level in theradiator 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. Fillup to the top of the tube in the radiator filler neckwhich includes a connecting hose coming from thethermostat housing.
To drain the coolant, open the petcock at the bottomof the radiator. Open the radiator cap to allow com-plete drainage. (Tighten the petcock and refill with a50/50 antifreeze/water solution.) Use an automotivegrade (low silicate) ethylene glycol antifreeze. Thecooling system capacity is 3.85 quarts (3.6L.).Squeeze upper and lower radiator hoses while fillingto bleed air from system coolant. Replace and tightenthe radiator cap.
Always premix the antifreeze and clean tap waterbefore adding to the radiator. It is very importantthat a precise 50/50 solution be used with thisengine year round. This gives proper cooling dur-ing hot weather and freezing protection to -34° F (-37° C).
Cooling solution exceeding 50% ethylene glycolcan result in engine overheating and damage tothe engine. Coolant solution must be premixedbefore 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 andthe battery lose its charge. Check tightness by press-ing on the belt midway between the pulleys. It shoulddeflect about .25 in. under a load of 20 lbs. (9 Kg) (6mm).
FUEL
At the end of each day’s use, refill the fuel tank to min-imize moisture condensation and dirt contamination inthe fuel line. Do not overfill; leave room for the fuel toexpand.
Use only fresh, No. 2 grade DIESEL fuel. Do not usekerosene.
See the Engine Operator's Manual for instructions onreplacing the fuel filter.
BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM
You may need to bleed air from the fuel system if thefuel filter or fuel lines have been detached, the fueltank has been ran empty or after periods of long stor-age. It is recommended that the fuel shutoff valve beclosed during periods of non-use.
The Kubota D722 engine supplied with this welder isequipped with an automatic bleeding mechanism thathelps purge the air from the mechanical fuel pumpsystem. It is generally not necessary to open a ventscrew or fuel line fitting to bleed the fuel system.Operate the priming lever on the pump to assist start-ing after extended periods of non-use or out of fuelconditions.
To avoid personal injury, do not bleed a hotengine. This could cause fuel to spill onto a hotexhaust manifold, creating a danger of fire.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Bleed the fuel system as follows:
1. Fill the fuel tank with fuel.2. Open the fuel shut off valve (vertical position ofhandle) on the Fuel Filter.
3. Crank the engine by pressing the start button for 45seconds.
4. Check to see that fuel is flowing through both fuel filters
5. Follow the normal STARTING procedures.

OVERSPEED IS HAZARDOUSThe maximum allowable high idle speed for thismachine is 3650 RPM, no load. Do NOT tamperwith governor components or setting or make anyother adjustments to increase the maximumspeed. Severe personal injury and damage to themachine can result if operated at speeds abovemaximum.
CLEANING THE BATTERYKeep the battery clean by wiping it with a damp clothwhen dirty. If the terminals appear corroded, discon-nect the battery cables and wash the terminals with anammonia solution or a solution of 1/4 pound (0.1113kg) of baking soda and 1 quart (0.9461) of water. Besure the battery vent plugs (if equipped) are tight sothat none of the solution enters the cells.After cleaning, flush the outside of the battery, the bat-tery compartment, and surrounding areas with clearwater. Coat the battery terminals lightly with petroleumjelly or a non-conductive grease to retard corrosion.Keep the battery clean and dry. Moisture accumula-tion on the battery can lead to more rapid dischargeand early battery failure.
CHECKING THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
If battery cells are low, fill them to the neck of the fillerhole with distilled water and recharge. If one cell islow, check for leaks.
CHARGING THE BATTERYWhen you charge, jump, replace, or otherwise con-nect battery cables to the battery, be sure the polarityis correct. Improper polarity can damage the chargingcircuit. The RANGER® 305D positive (+) battery ter-minal has a red terminal cover.
If you need to charge the battery with an externalcharger, disconnect the negative cable first, then thepositive cable before you attach the charger leads.After the battery is charged, reconnect the positivebattery cable first and the negative cable last. Failureto do so can result in damage to the internal chargercomponents.Follow the instructions of the battery charger manu-facturer for proper charger settings and charging time.
