Angle of Operation

Engines are designed to run in the level condition which is where the optimum performance is achieved. The maximum angle of operation for the engine is 15 degrees from horizontal in any direction. If the engine is to be operated at an angle, provisions must be made for checking and maintaining the oil level at the normal (FULL) oil capacity in the crankcase.

When operating the welder at an angle, the effective fuel capacity will be slightly less than the specified 10 gallons.

High Altitude Operation

If the Ranger 9 will be consistently operated at altitudes above 5,000 feet, a carburetor jet designed for high altitudes should be installed. This will result in better fuel economy, cleaner exhaust, and longer spark plug life. It will not give increased power which is decreased at higher altitudes. Engine horsepower is reduced by 3.5% per 1000 feet for altitudes above 377 feet.

High altitude jet kits are available from the engine manufacturer. Order Onan kit part number 146-0458.

CAUTION

Do not operate a Ranger 9 with a high altitude jet installed at an altitude below 5,000 ft. This will result in the engine running too lean and result in higher engine temperatures which can shorten engine life.

Muffler Relocation

WARNING

Shut off welder and allow muffler to cool before touching muffler.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Ranger 9 is shipped with the exhaust coming out on the left side of the machine. The exhaust can be changed to the opposite side by removing the two screws that hold the exhaust port cover in place and installing the cover on the opposite side. (Operating the Ranger 9 without the cover in place will result in a higher noise level and no increase in machine output.)

Connection of Lincoln Electric Wire Feeders

WARNING

Shut off welder before making any electrical connections.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Connection of K428 or K446 LN-25 with K624-1 42 volt Remote Output Control Module to the Ranger 9.

Requires K626-xx Control Cable. Provides “cold” electrode until gun trigger is pressed and also provides voltage control at the feeder. The K446 LN-25 includes a gas solenoid. See the appropriate connection diagram in rear of this manual.

a.Shut off the welder.

b.Connect the electrode cable from the LN-25 to the “ELECTRODE” stud of the welder. Connect the work cable to the “TO WORK” stud of the welder.

c.Connect the control cable from the LN-25 to the 14 pin amphenol on the Ranger 9.

d.Attach the single lead from the front of the LN-25 to the work using the spring clip on the end of the lead.

This is a control lead to supply the current to the wire feeder motor; it does not carry welding current.

e.Set the “POLARITY” switch to either WIRE FEED DC+ or WIRE FEED DC- as required by the electrode being used.

f.Set the “RANGE” switch to either HIGH, MED or LOW as required by the process.

g.Set the “WELDING TERMINALS” Control switch to the “REMOTELY CONTROLLED” position.

h.Set the “IDLER” switch to the “AUTO” position.

Connection of the K449 LN-25 to the Ranger 9.

a.Shut off the welder.

b.Connect the electrode cable from the LN-25 to the “ELECTRODE” stud of the welder. Connect the work cable to the “TO WORK” stud of the welder.

c.Attach the single lead from the front of the LN-25 to work using the spring clip on the end of the lead. This is a control lead to supply the current to the wire feeder motor; it does not carry welding current.
