CABLE SIZE AND LENGTH

Be sure to use welding cables that are large enough. The correct size and length becomes especially impor- tant when you are welding at a distance from the welder.

Table A.1 lists recommended cable sizes and lengths for rated current and duty cycle. Length refers to the distance from the welder to the work and back to the welder. Cable diameters are increased for long cable lengths to reduce voltage drops.

CABLE INSTALLATION

Install the welding cables to your RANGER 9 as fol- lows. See Figure A.1 for the location of parts.

1.The gasoline engine must be OFF to install weld- ing cables.

2.Remove the flanged nuts from the output termi- nals.

3.Connect the electrode holder and work cables to the weld output terminals. The terminals are iden- tified on the case front.

4.Tighten the flanged nuts securely.

5.Be certain that the metal piece you are welding (the “work”) is properly connected to the work clamp and cable.

6.Check and tighten the connections periodically.

Lincoln Electric offers a welding accessory kit with the properly specified welding cables. See the Acces- sories section of this manual for more information.

For more information on welding, see WELDING OPERATION and SUMMARY OF WELDING PRO- CESSES in the Operations section of this manual.

MACHINE GROUNDING

Because the RANGER 9 creates its own power from its gasoline-engine driven generator, you do not need to connect the machine frame to an earth ground. However, for best pro-

tection against electrical shock, connect a heavy gauge wire (#8 AWG or larger) from the ground stud located on the bottom of the output panel (see Figure A.1) to a suitable earth ground such as a metal pipe driven into the ground.

CAUTION

•Loose connections will cause the output terminals to overheat. The terminals may eventually melt.

•Do not cross the welding cables at the output termi- nal connection. Keep the cables isolated and sepa- rate from one another.

WARNING

Do not ground the machine to a pipe that carries explosive or combustible material.
