•Shut the welder off.

•Connect the LN-7 or LN-8 per instructions on the appropriate connection diagram in Section F.

•Set the "WIRE FEEDER VOLTMETER" switch to either "+" or "-" as required by the electrode being used.

•Set the "MODE" switch to the "CV WIRE " position.

•Set the "ARC CONTROL" knob to "0" initially and adjust to suit.

•Set the "WELD TERMINALS" switch to the "REMOTELY CONTROLLED" position.

Connection of LN-15 to the Ranger 305D

These connections instructions apply to both the LN-

•Shut the welder off.

•For electrode Positive, connect the electrode cable to the "+" terminal of the welder and work cable to the "-" terminal of the welder. For electrode Negative, connect the electrode cable "-" terminal of the welder and work cable to the "+" terminal of the welder.

•Across The-Arc Model:

Attach the single lead from the front of the LN-15 to work using the spring clip at the end of the lead. This is a control lead to supply current to the wire feeder motor; it does not carry welding current.

Set the "WELD TERMINALS" switch to "WELD TER-

MINALS ON"

•Control Cable Model:

Connect Control Cable between Engine Welder and Feeder.

Set the "WELD TERMINALS" switch to "REMOTELY CONTROLLED".

•Set the MODE switch to the "CV-WIRE " position.

•Set the "WIRE FEEDER VOLTMETER" switch to either "+" or "-" as required by the electrode polarity being used.
