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. Loose con- nections will result in overheating of the output studs.
When welding at a considerable distance from the welder, be sure you use ample size welding cables. 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.

tank of gasoline. A lift bail is mounted to the machine and | |||
should always be used when lifting the machine. | Muffler Relocation | ||
• Shut off welder and allow muffler to cool before touch- ing muffler.
The RANGER 10,000 PLUS AND RANGER 10,000 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 10,000 PLUS AND RANGER 10,000 without the cover in place will result in a higher noise level and no increase in machine output.)
