WELDER

The RANGER 10-LX provides excellent constant cur- rent AC/DC welding output for stick (SMAW) welding and for TIG welding, and it offers constant voltage out- put for DC semiautomatic wire feed welding. For more details on using the machine as a welder, see Welding Operation in the Operation section of this manual.

GENERATOR

The RANGER 10-LX gives AC generator output for medium use demands. For more details on operat- ing the generator, see Auxiliary Power in the Operation section of this manual.

DESIGN FEATURES AND

ADVANTAGES

10,000 watts of auxiliary power

Enhanced constant voltage capability with low (9-19 volts), medium low (10-24 volts), medium high (15- 29 volts) and high (22-40 volts) range settings for greater control of wire feed applications.

Built-in contactor with front panel selection of “cold” or “hot” welding terminals.

Constant current AC/DC Stick welding (SMAW) process capability with output range from 45-250 amps (AC) or 45-250 amps (DC).

Constant voltage DC Semiautomatic Wire Feed Welding with output range from 45-250 amps.

Constant current AC/DC TIG Welding with output across the entire range of settings.

Polarity switch for selecting DC+, DC-, or AC weld- ing output.

Separate ground stud for safe connection of case to earth ground.

Single 50 amp, 230 volt, full 10 kVA auxiliary power receptacle.

Double duplex 20 amp, 125 volt auxiliary power receptacles.

Electric starting.

Battery Charging Ammeter.

Engine Hour Meter for determining periodic mainte- nance.

23 HP Kubota DH850B-88 diesel engine.

Durable, heavy-gauge steel case.

Front-panel mounted fuel gauge.

Quiet engine muffler and insonorized case for extremely quiet operation.

All copper alternator windings and high quality insu- lation for dependable long life.

Automatic engine shutdown protection for low oil pressure.

Automatic engine idler goes to low idle 10 to 14 seconds after welding for greater fuel economy; includes high idle switch.

Standard Remote Control Receptacle provides interface for Lincoln remote control accessories. Both 6 pin and 14 pin amphenols are provided for ease in hooking up wire feeders.

Canadian Standard Association (CSA) approved models available; include integrated generator out- put overload protection through circuit breakers.

WELDING CAPABILITY

The RANGER 10-LX is rated 250 amps, 25 volts con- stant current AC or 250 amps, 25 volts constant cur- rent DC (250 amps 30 volts constant voltage DC) at 100% duty cycle on a ten-minute basis.

The current is continuously variable from 45 to 250 amps AC or 45 to 250 amps DC. The RANGER 10-LX can weld with all 3/32 and most 1/8 inch and 1/16 diameter Lincoln AC stick electrodes. Wire feed processes using wire diameters from .030 to .068 inch are possible, depending on the specific process and wire feeder. (See LIMITATIONS.)

LIMITATIONS

The RANGER 10-LX is not recommended for any processes besides those that are normally per- formed using stick welding (SMAW), TIG welding (GTAW), MIG (GMAW) welding and Innershield® (FCAW) welding. Specific limitations on using the RANGER 10-LX for these processes are described in the Welding Operation section of this manual.

The RANGER 10-LX 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 per- missible simultaneous welding and auxiliary power loads.
