THANK YOU FOR SELECTING A QUALITY PRODUCT BY LINCOLN ELECTRIC. PLEASE EXAMINE CARTON AND EQUIPMENT FOR DAMAGE IMMEDIATELY When this equipment is shipped, title passes to the purchaser upon receipt by the carrier. Consequently, Claims for material damaged in shipment must be made by the purchaser against the transportation company at the time the shipment is received. SAFETY DEPENDS ON YOU Lincoln arc welding and cutting equipment is designed and built with safety in mind.
SAFETY 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 or repairing equipment. SECTION A: WARNINGS CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNINGS 1.e. In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety guards to perform required maintenance. Remove guards only when necessary and replace them when the maintenance requiring their removal is complete.
SAFETY ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL. ARC RAYS CAN BURN. 3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands. 4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or observing open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards. 3.b.
SAFETY WELDING AND CUTTING SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION. CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IF DAMAGED. 7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for the application and maintained in good condition. 6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire.

A-2 A-2 INSTALLATION SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have thoroughly read the engine manufacturerʼs manual supplied with your welder. It includes important safety precautions, detailed engine starting, operating and maintenance instructions, and parts lists. -----------------------------------------------------------------------ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. • Do not touch electrically live parts or electrode with skin or wet clothing.
INSTALLATION A-3 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. 4. Typical conditions of use, i.e., travel speed; roughness of surface on which the trailer will be operated; environmental conditions. 5. Conformance with federal, state and local laws(1) A-3 FUEL Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline.
A-4 A-4 INSTALLATION WELDING OUTPUT CABLES With the engine off, connect the electrode and work cables to the studs provided. These connections should be checked periodically and tightened if necessary. Loose connections will result in overheating of the output studs. When welding at a considerable distance from the welder, be sure you use ample size welding cables. Listed below are copper cable sizes recommended for the rated current and duty cycle.
A-5 INSTALLATION A-5 • LOCATION / VENTILATION 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 welder recirculating back to the cooling air inlet. Also, locate the welder so that engine exhaust fumes are properly vented to an outside area. STACKING Ranger® 250 GXT machines cannot be stacked. CONNECTION OF LINCOLN ELECTRIC WIRE FEEDERS WARNING Shut off welder before making any electrical connections.
A-6 A-6 INSTALLATION WELDER OPERATION 120/240 VOLT DUAL VOLTAGE RECEPTACLE WELDER OUTPUT • Maximum Open Circuit Voltage at 3700 RPM is 80 Volts RMS. • Duty Cycle is the percentage of time the load is being applied in a 10 minute period. For example, a 60% duty cycle represents 6 minutes of load and 4 minutes of no load in a 10 minute period. Duty Cycle for the Ranger® 250 GXT is 100%.
A-7 A-7 INSTALLATION CAUTION Certain Electrical devices cannot be powered to this Product. See Table A.2 TABLE lll ELECTRICAL DEVICE USE WITH THIS PRODUCT Type Common Electrical Devices Possible Concerns Resistive Heaters, toasters, incandescent light bulbs, electric range, hot pan, skillet, coffee maker. NONE Capacitive TV sets, radios, microwaves, appliances with electrical control. Voltage spikes or high voltage regulation can cause the capacitative elements to fail.
A-8 INSTALLATION AUXILIARY POWER WHILE WELDING Simultaneous welding and power loads are permitted by following Table I. The permissible currents shown assume that current is being drawn from either the 120V or 240V supply (not both at the same time). Also, the “Output Control” is set at “10” for maximum auxiliary power. TABLE I SIMULTANEOUS WELDING AND POWER Output Selector Setting * Permissible Power Watts (Unity Power Permissible Auxiliary Current in Amperes Factor) @ 120V *-or- @ 240V Max.
A-9 INSTALLATION Figure 1 CONNECTION OF Ranger® 250 GXT TO PREMISES WIRING WARNING Connection of Ranger ® 250 GXT to premises wiring must be done by a licensed electrician and must comply with the National Electrical Code and all other applicable electrical codes.
B-1 OPERATION SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have thoroughly read the engine manufacturerʼs manual supplied with your welder. It includes important safety precautions, detailed engine starting, operating and maintenance instructions, and parts lists. -----------------------------------------------------------------------ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. • Do not touch electrically live parts or electrode with skin or wet clothing.
B-2 “ B-2 OPERATION 6-PIN CONNECTOR RANGE” SWITCH The “Range” switch is used to select one of four amperage ranges with generous overlap for Stick/TIG welding, or one Wire Feed welding range. Process STICK/TIG (constant current) (4 range settings) WIRE FEED (constant voltage) (2 range setting) Range Setting Current Range 80 Max. 130 Max. 180 Max. 250 Max.
B-3 B-3 OPERATION STARTING/SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS STARTING THE ENGINE STOPPING THE ENGINE Remove all welding and auxiliary power loads and allow engine to run at low idle speed for a few minutes to cool the engine. WARNING • Do not touch electrically live parts of electrode with skin or wet clothing. • Keep flammable material away. • Insulate yourself from work and ground.
