WELDING PROCESS

For any electrodes the procedures should be kept within the rating of the machine. For electrode information see the appropriate Lincoln publication.

STICK (CONSTANT CURRENT) WELDING

Connect welding cables to the "TO WORK” and "ELEC- TRODE” studs. Start the engine. Set the "Polarity” switch to the desired polarity. The “RANGE” switch markings indicate the maximum current for that range as well as the typical electrode size for that range. The “OUTPUT” Control provides fine adjustment of the welding current within the select range. For maximum output within a selected range set the “OUTPUT” Control at 10. For min- imum output within a selected range set the “OUTPUT” Control at 5. (“OUTPUT” Control settings below 5 may reduce arc stability) For best overall welding perfor- mance set the “RANGE” Switch to the lowest setting and the OUTPUT” Control near the maximum to achieve the desired welding current.

The RANGER 10,000 PLUS AND RANGER 10,000 can be used with a broad range of AC and DC stick elec- trodes. See “Welding Tips 1” included with the RANGER 10,000 PLUS AND RANGER 10,000 for electrodes with- in the rating of this unit and recommended welding cur- rents of each.

TIG (CONSTANT CURRENT) WELDING

The K930-[ ] TIG Module installed on a RANGER 10,000 PLUS AND RANGER 10,000 provides high frequency and shielding gas control for AC and DC GTAW (TIG) welding processes. Output control is from the Ranger 10,000 Plus & Ranger 10,000. The output control on the TIG Module is not functional. After flow time is adjustable from 0 to 55 seconds.

When using the RANGER 10,000 PLUS AND RANGER 10,000 for AC TIG welding of aluminum, the following settings and electrodes are recommended:

The K930-[ ] TIG Module should be used with the RANGER 10,000 PLUS AND RANGER 10,000 on high idle to maintain satisfactory operation. It can be used in the AUTO position but the delay going to low idle after welding is ceased will be increased if the AFTER FLOW CONTROL is set above 10 seconds.

NOTE: For AC TIG Welding, the maximum TIG welding output currents on each range setting will be approximately 50% higher than those marked on the nameplate. This is due to the special nature of the AC TIG welding arc. Do not AC TIG weld on the 225AC range setting. The output current may exceed the rating of the Ranger 10,000 PLUS & RANGER 10,000.

WIRE FEED WELDING PROCESSES (CONSTANT VOLTAGE)

The Innershield® electrode recommended for use with the RANGER 10,000 PLUS AND RANGER 10,000 is NR®-211- MP. The electrode sizes and welding ranges that can be used with the RANGER 10,000 PLUS AND RANGER 10,000 are shown in the following table:

The RANGER 10,000 PLUS AND RANGER 10,000 is recom- mended for limited “MIG” welding (GMAW - gas metal arc welding). The recommended electrodes are .030” and .035” L- 50 and L-56. They must be used with a blended shielding gas such as C25 (75% Argon - 25% CO2). The welding ranges that can be used with the RANGER 10,000 PLUS AND RANGER 10,000 are shown in the following table:

ARC GOUGING

The RANGER 10,000 PLUS AND RANGER 10,000 can be used for limited arc gouging.

Set the Range switch to adjust output current to the desired level for the gouging electrode being used according to the rat- ings in the following table:
