Have you ever been out in the field, pushing a deadline only to have your day cut short because you ran out of fuel? Or think you need a new air filter but just can’t remember the last time you changed it?

With the Lincoln Electric NEXTime App, those days are history.

Increase your productivity with alerts and real-time monitoring of key functions of your Ranger engine driven welder when you’re within 15 feet* of the NEXTime Wireless Module LIK4447-1.

Not only will the NEXTime App keep you informed of your battery voltage and fuel levels, it will provide service notifications for oil changes, air and fuel filter replacement, and spark plug changes. It also will keep track of all service performed on your machine.

When maintenance is required, the NEXTime App takes all the guess work out of doing the job yourself with a step-by-step guide. Or you can use the NEXTime App to find service providers and distributors in your area or check out the Frequently Asked Questions.

And there’s no limit to the number of Ranger welder/generators that can connect to the NEXTime App making it a real time saver for fleet managers.

The NEXTime App is compatible with Ranger 225, 250 and 305 models (see full list below) and requires installation of the NEXTime Wireless Module, a simple process that can be completed in minutes.
