The RANGER 8+ DIESEL is not recommended for pipe thawing.

During welding, generator power is limited and out- put voltages can drop. Therefore, DO NOT OPER-

ATE ANY SENSITIVE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT WHILE YOU ARE WELDING. See Table B.4 for permissible simultaneous welding and auxiliary power loads.

RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS

WELDER

The RANGER 8+ DIESEL provides excellent constant current AC/DC welding output for stick (SMAW) weld- ing and for TIG welding, and it offers constant voltage output for DC semiautomatic wire feed welding.

GENERATOR

The RANGER 8+ DIESEL gives AC generator output for medium use demands.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Always operate the welder with the case in place as this provides maximum protection from moving parts and assures proper cooling air flow.
