WARNING

GASOLINE fuel can cause fire or explosion.

• Stop engine while fueling.

•Do not smoke when fueling.

•Do not overfill tank.

•Keep sparks and flame away from tank.

•Wipe up spilled fuel and allow fumes to clear before starting engine.

Battery Connection

This welder is shipped with the negative battery cable disconnected. Make sure that the Engine Switch is in the “STOP” position and attach the disconnected cable securely to the negative battery terminal before attempting to operate the machine. If the battery is discharged and does not have enough power to start the engine, see the Maintenance-Battery section of this manual for battery charging instructions.

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.

Listed below are copper cable sizes recommended for the rated current and duty cycle. Lengths stipulated are the distance from the welder to work and back to the welder again. Cable sizes are increased for greater lengths primarily for the purpose of minimizing cable voltage drop.

Location / Ventilation

The welder should be located to provide an unrestrict- ed 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 below the exhaust. Also, locate the welder so that the engine exhaust fumes are properly vented to an outside area.

WARNING

Damage to fuel tank may cause fire or explosion. Do NOT drill holes in the Ranger 9 base or weld to the Ranger 9 base.
