Installation Instructions; Electric Shock Can Kill; Engine Exhaust; Angle Of Operation - Lincoln Electric RANGER 405D Operating Manual

Angle of Operation

Engines are designed to run in the level condition which
is where the optimum performance is achieved. The maximum
angle of operation for the Kubota engine and Perkins engine is
20° continuously in any direction. If the engine must 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 litres.

High Altitude Operation

At higher altitudes, output derating may be necessary. As a rule
of thumb, derate the welder output 0.4% for every 30m above
150m.
Contact Kubota/Perkins Service Representative for any engine
adjustments that may required.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Ranger 405D
KIT1600T Lead Kit
Includes:- One 10m & one 9m length of 50mm
Twistmate connector fitted to each.
K857 Remote Control (Weld Control)
Portable control provides same dial range as the output control
on the welder from a location up to away from the welder. Has
convenient plug for easy connection to the welder. (Requires
K864 or K876 Adapter).
Refer Optional Equipment Section in this manual for cable length
and plug options.
K864 Remote Control Adapter
Plugs into the 14 pin remote output control plug base mounted on
the machine. It provides a 14 pin and a 6 pin remote output
connection. e.g. Used for K857 remote control and 'plug' cable
LN-7 connections.
K876 Remote Control Adapter
Plugs into the 14 pin remote output control plug base mounted on
the machine. It provides a 6 pin connector. e.g. Used for K857
remote control.
K867 Universal Adapter Plug
Plugs into the 14 pin remote output control plug base mounted on
the machine. It provides flying leads for connection to 'lugged'
control cables. e.g. Used for K775 remote control and 'lugged'
cable LN-7 connections.
K930-2 Hi-Freq TIG Module
High frequency unit with gas valve for TIG welding. Rating is 250
amp @ 80% duty cycle.
Only qualified personnel should install, use, or service this
equipment.
The welder should be located to provide an unrestricted flow of
clean, cool air to the cooling air inlets and to avoid heated air
coming out of the back of the welder recirculating back to the
cooling air inlets. Also, locate the welder so that the engine
exhaust fumes are properly vented to an outside area.

Machine Earthing

Standards Australia advise that "There is no need for an earth
electrode to be used with an engine driven welding power
service" E W Robson Projects Manager Committee EL/1 (7th
September 1998).
