•Two 20 amp, 125 volt duplex (double outlet) recep- tacles.
•One 50 amp 115/230 volt simplex (single outlet) receptacle.
Through these receptacles the machine can supply up to 10,000 rated continuous watts of
± 10% of the rated voltage.
For further protection against electric shock, any elec- trical equipment connected to the generator recepta- cles must use a

CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Canadian Standards Association (CSA) versions of the RANGER
are equipped with 50 amp circuit breakers on the 115/230 V receptacle
and 15 amp circuit breakers on the 115 V receptacles for overload protection. Under high heat a breaker may tend to trip at lower loads than it would normally.
CAUTION
Never bypass the circuit breakers. Without overload protection, the RANGER

WARNING
Only a licensed, certified, trained electrician should install the machine to a premises or residential electri- cal system. Be certain that:
•The installation complies with the National Electrical Code and all other applicable electrical codes.
•The premises is isolated and no feedbacking into the utility system can occur. Certain state and local laws require the premises to be isolated before the generator is linked to the premises. Check your state and local requirements.
•A double pole, double throw transfer switch in con- junction with the properly rated double throw circuit breaker is connected between the generator power and the utility meter.
The following information and the connection diagram, Figure A.2, can be used as a guide by the electrician for most applications to premises wiring.
1.Install a double pole, double throw switch between the power company meter and the premises dis- connect. The switch rating must be the same as or greater than the premises disconnect and service overcurrent protection.
2.Take the necessary steps to assure that the load is limited to the capacity of the RANGER
– 10% of rated voltage. This may damage appli- ances or other
3.Install a 50 amp 115/230 volt plug (NEMA type 14- 50) to a double pole circuit breaker using No. 6, 4 conductor cable of the desired length. (The 50 amp 115/230 volt plug is available in the optional power plug kit. See the Accessories section for details.)
4.Plug this cable into the 50 amp 115/230 volt receptacle on the RANGER
