AUXILIARY POWER

The RANGER 8+ DIESEL can provide up to 9,000 watts of 115/230 volts AC, Single phase 60 HZ power for continuous use. The front of the machine includes three receptacles for connecting AC power Plugs, one

50amp 115/230 volt NEMA 14-50R receptacle and two 15 amp 115 volt NEMA 5-15R receptacles. Do not connect any plugs that connect to the power receptacles in parallel.

Start the engine and set the "IDLER" control switch to the desired operating mode. Set the "CONTROL" to

10.Voltage is now correct at the receptacles for auxil- iary power.

Most 1.5 hp AC single phase motors can be started if there is no load on the motor or other load connected to the machine. Larger motors through 2 hp can be run provided the receptacle rating as previously stated

is not exceeded. This may necessitate 230 volt oper- ation only.

SIMULTANEOUS WELDING AND POWER LOADS

Auxiliary power ratings are with no welding load. Simultaneous welding and power loads are permitted by the following table. The permissible currents shown assume that current is being drawn from either the 115 volt or 230 volt supply (not both at the same time).
