HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
It may be necessary to de-rate the welder output at
higher altitudes. De-rate the welder output 3.5% for
every 1000 ft. (305m) above 5000 ft. (150 m). Some
engine adjustment may be required above 5,000 ft.
(1,525 m).
HIGH TEMPERATURE OPERATION
At temperatures above 30°C, output de-rating is nec-
essary. For maximum output current ratings, de-rate
the welder output 5% for every 10°C above 30°C.
LIFTING
The RANGER 200 weighs approximately 490lbs / 222
kg. A lift bail is mounted to the machine frame and
should always be used when lifting the machine.
WARNING
ADDITIONAL
PRECAUTIONS
FALLING EQUIPMENT can cause
injury.
Do not lift this machine using lift bale if it is
equipped with a heavy accessory such as trailer
or gas cylinder.
Lift only with equipment of adequate lifting
capacity.
Be sure machine is stable when lifting.
The recommended trailer for use with this equipment
for in-plant and yard towing by a vehicle
K957-1. If the user adapts a non-Lincoln undercarriage,
he must assume responsibility that the method of
attachment and usage does not result in a safety haz-
ard nor damage the welding equipment. Some of the
factors to be considered are as follows:
1. Design capacity of trailer vs. weight of Lincoln equip-
ment and likely additional attachments.
2. Proper support of, and attachment to, the base of
the welding equipment so there will be no undue
stress to the framework.
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.
INSTALLATION
4. Typical conditions of use, i.e., travel speed; rough-
ness of surface on which the trailer will be operat-
ed; environmental conditions; likely maintenance.
5. Conformance with federal, state and local laws. (1)
(1) Consult applicable federal, state and local laws regarding
specific requirements for use on public highways.
