ANGLE OF OPERATION

Internal combustion engines are designed to run in a level condition which is where the optimum perfor- mance 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 maintain- ing the oil at the normal (FULL) oil capacity in the crankcase in a level condition.

When operating at an angle, the effective fuel capaci- ty will be slightly less than the specified 9 gallons (34 Liters).

Muffler Relocation

WARNING

•Shut off welder and allow muffler to cool before

touching muffler.

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

The RANGER 3 PHASE is shipped with the exhaust coming out on the left side. 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 3 PHASE without the cover in place will result in a higher noise level and no increase in machine output.)

LIFTING

The RANGER 3 PHASE weighs approximately 575 lbs.(261kg) with a full tank of gasoline. A lift bail is mounted to the machine and should always be used when lifting the machine.

WARNING

• Lift only with equipment of ade-

 

quate lifting capacity.

 

• Be sure machine is stable when lift-

 

ing.

 

• Do not lift this machine using lift

 

bail if it is equipped with a heavy

 

accessory such as trailer or gas

 

cylinder.

FALLING

• Do not lift machine if lift bail is

EQUIPMENT can

damaged.

cause injury.

• Do not operate machine while

 

suspended from lift bail.

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

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION

If the RANGER 3 PHASE will be consistently operat- ed at altitudes above 5000 ft(1524m), 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(304.8m) for altitudes above 377 feet(115m).

CAUTION

Do not operate a RANGER 3 PHASE with a high altitude jet installed at altitudes below 5000 ft.(1524m) This will result in the engine running too lean and result in higher engine operating temperatures which can shorten engine life.

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

Contact your local Kohler Authorized Dealer for high altitude jet kits that are available from the engine manufacturer.

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 welder recirculating back to the cooling air inlet. Also, locate the welder so that engine exhaust fumes are properly vented to an outside area.

STACKING

RANGER 3 PHASE machines cannot be stacked.

CONNECTION OF LINCOLN ELECTRIC WIRE FEEDERS

WARNING

Shut off welder before making any electrical connections.

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

WIRE FEED (CONSTANT VOLTAGE) CONNECTION OF LN-15 ACROSS-THE-ARC WIRE FEEDER

The LN-15 has an internal contactor and the electrode is not energized until the gun trigger is closed. When the gun trigger is closed the wire will begin to feed and the welding process is started.

a.Shut the welder off.

b.Set the Polarity switch to the desired polarity, either DC (-) or DC (+).

c.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.

d.Set the “RANGE” switch to the “WIRE FEED-CV” position

e.Place the Engine switch in the “Auto Idle” position.

f.Adjust the wire feed speed at the LN-15 and adjust the welding voltage with the output “CONTROL” at the welder. Output “CONTROL” must be set above 3.

Note: LN-15 Control Cable model will not work with the RANGER 3 PHASE.
