The current rating of any plug used with the system must be at least equal to the current load through the associated receptacles (see tables below). Do not attempt to connect power receptacles in parallel.

*Maximum current draw from each 115V GFCI Duplex receptacle is 20 amps.
115/230 Volt Dual Voltage Receptacle
The 115/230 volt receptacle can supply up to 35 amps of 230 volt power to a two wire circuit or up to 35 amps of 115 volt power from each side of a three wire circuit (up to 70 amps total). Do Not connect the 115 volt circuits in parallel. Current sensing for the auto- matic idle feature is only in one leg of the three wire circuit as shown below.
GND
since the full load current rating of a 1.5 HP motor is approximately 20 amperes (10 amperes for 230 volt motors). Larger motors through 2 hp can be run pro- vided the receptacle rating as previously stated is not exceeded. This may necessitate 230V operation only.
Auxiliary Power While Welding
It must be noted that the above auxiliary power ratings are with no welding load. Simultaneous welding and power loads are permitted by following Table I. The permissible currents shown assume that current is being drawn from either the 115V or 230V supply (not both at the same time).
NOTE: Voltage and permissible watts decrease as “CONTROL” is adjusted to settings less than 10. It is recommended that at settings less than 10, only incandescent lighting loads be connected to the auxil- iary power receptacles.

Motor Starting
Most 1.5 HP motors can be started if there is no load on the motor or other load connected to the machine,
The Ranger 8 is suitable for temporary, standby, or emergency power using the engine manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule.
The Ranger 8 can be permanently installed as a standby power unit for
WARNING
(Connections must be made by a licensed electri- cian who can determine how the 115/230V power can be adapted to the particular installation and comply with all applicable electrical codes.) The following information can be used as a guide by the electrician for most applications (refer also to the connection diagram shown in Figure 1.)
