INSTALLATION |
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 neces- sary. Loose connections 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.

ANGLE OF OPERATION
Internal combustion engines are designed to run in a level condition which is where the optimum perfor- mance is achieved. The maximum angle of operation for the engine is 15 degrees from horizontal in any direction. If the engine is to be operated at an angle, provisions must be made for checking and maintain- ing the oil at the normal (FULL) oil capacity in the crankcase in a level condition.
When operating at an angle, the effective fuel capacity will be slightly less than the specified 9 gallons.
LIFTING
The RANGER 10,000 weighs approximately 575 lbs. with a full tank of gasoline. A lift bail is mounted to the machine and should always be used when lifting the machine.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
| • Lift only with equipment of |
| adequate lifting capacity. |
| • Be sure machine is stable |
| when lifting. |
| • Do not lift this machine using |
| lift bale if it is equipped with a |
| heavy accessory such as trail- |
| er or gas cylinder. |
FALLING | • Do not lift machine if lift bale is |
EQUIPMENT can | damaged. |
cause injury. | • Do not operate machine while |
| suspended from lift bale. |
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
If the RANGER 10,000 will be consistently operated at altitudes above 5000 ft, a carburetor jet designed for high altitudes should be installed. This will result in better fuel economy, cleaner exhaust, and longer spark plug life. It will not give increased power which is decreased at higher altitudes. Engine horsepower is reduced by 3.5% per 1000 feet for altitudes above 377 feet.
CAUTION
Do not operate a RANGER 10,000 with a high alti- tude jet installed at altitudes below 5000 ft. This will result in the engine running too lean and result in higher engine operating temperatures which can shorten engine life.
Contact your local Kohler, Honda or Robin/Subaru Authorized Dealer for high altitude jet kits that are available from the engine manufacturer.
Muffler Relocation
WARNING
•Shut off welder and allow muffler to cool before
touching muffler.
The 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 without the cover in place will result in a higher noise level and no increase in machine output.)
