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.

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION

At higher altitudes, Welder output de-rating may be neces- sary.

Kohler and Subaru Robin Models:

For maximum rating, de-rate the welder output 3.5% for every 1000ft. (305m) above 3000ft. (914m).

Honda Model:

For maximum rating, de-rate the welder output 3.5% for every 1000ft. (305m) above sea level.

ANGLE OF OPERATION

If operation will consistently be at altitudes above 5,000 ft.

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.)
