Lincoln U34581 Ranger 260MPX Engine Driven Welder Kohler Engine

Lincoln U34581 Ranger 260MPX Engine Driven Welder  features a powerful Kohler CH730 Gasoline Engine that is a factory certified, and factory reconditioned K3458-1 260MPX machine. Though the unit is factory reconditioned, the U34581 is a premium welder/generator with excellent multi-process capability for stick, TIG, MIG while providing clean AC generator output. The 260MPX has reduced noise levels help improve jobsite comfort and safety, and also make the Ranger 260MPX welder/generator an ideal option for use in low-noise work environments like schools or hospitals. The smaller size enables you to maneuver the Ranger 260MPX welder/ generator around the jobsite with ease, and allows more space for additional tools and equipment. The 260 MPX engine driven welder features an easy-to-use digital interface with simple push-and-turn controls, combined with technology designed for quick setup and improved arc control, enables you to get started in no time.

Lincoln’s Ready.Set.Weld technology simplifies setup by recommending optimal welding parameters for a given welding procedure. Just follow the 5-step process and enter the requested information to obtain recommended settings: 1 Process 2 Electrode Type 3 Electrode Diameter 4 Plate Thickness 5 Polarity

The U34581 provides you maintenance alerts keeping track of engine functions and provide real-time data and notifications when service is required. The maintenance screen clearly displays hours remaining, and settings can be customized to issue alerts at preferred intervals. CrossLinc remote technology communicates voltage controls to the welding power source through one common weld cable, reducing cable clutter and minimizing unnecessary movement around the jobsite. Chopper Technology feature provides easy starts, a smooth and consistent arc, and low spatter to help achieve optimal bead appearance
