RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS

WELDER

The RANGER 9 provides excellent constant current AC/DC welding output for stick (SMAW) welding and for TIG welding, and it offers constant voltage output for DC semiautomatic wire feed welding. For more details on using the machine as a welder, see WELD- ING OPERATION in the Operation section of this manual.

GENERATOR

The RANGER 9 gives AC generator output for medium use demands. For more details on operating the gen- erator, see AUXILIARY POWER in the Operation sec- tion of this manual.

DESIGN FEATURES AND

ADVANTAGES

9,000 watts of auxiliary power

Enhanced constant voltage capability with low (12- 21 volts), medium (15-27 volts), and high (18-35 volts) range settings for greater control of wire feed applications.

Built-in contactor with front panel selection of “cold” or “hot” welding terminals: Cold (WELDING TERMINALS REMOTELY CONTROLLED) – Closing wire feeder trigger switch or amptrol causes con- tactor to close and engine to accelerate to high idle. Hot (WELDING TERMINALS ALWAYS ON) – The contactor is closed and welding begins when elec- trode touches work; engine automatically goes to high idle.

OPERATIONAL FEATURES AND CONTROLS

The RANGER 9 was designed for simplicity. There- fore, it has very few operating controls. Three switch- es are used for welding operations:

A nine-position output range selector switch selects current output for constant current stick or TIG applications and constant voltage wire feed appli- cations.

A fine output control switch for fine adjustment of current or voltage within the selected output range

A three-position polarity switch for selecting DC+, DC- or AC welding output.

A two-position toggle switch for selecting between CONTROL AT WELDER or REMOTE CONTROL (Remote control connections are made at either the 6 pin or the 14 pin amphenol connector.

A two-position toggle switch for selecting between control of the output contactor by the RANGER 9 (WELDING TERMINALS ALWAYS ON) or control of the output contactor by a cable from a wire feeder gun (WELDING TERMINALS REMOTELY CON- TROLLED).

The gasoline engine control is a three-position toggle switch for START, RUN, and STOP and a two-position “IDLER” switch that selects engine speed for welding or auxiliary power applications. See ENGINE OPERA- TION in the Operation section of this manual for details about starting, running, stopping, and breaking in the gasoline engine.

Constant current AC/DC Stick welding (SMAW) process capability with output range from 40-250 amps (AC) or 40-250 amps (DC).

Constant voltage DC Semiautomatic Wire Feed Welding with output range from 40-250 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 9 kVA auxiliary power receptacle.

Double duplex 20 amp, 115 volt auxiliary power receptacles.

Electric starting.

Battery Charging Ammeter.

Engine Hour Meter for determining periodic mainte- nance.

Top-of-the-line 18 HP Onan P218 Performer® engine.

Durable, heavy-gauge steel case.

Built-in feet for easy mounting to truck bed or trailer.

Bottom-mounted 10 gallon (38.0 litre) fuel tank with convenient top fill and fuel gauge.
