AUXILIARY POWER

WARNING

Be sure that any electrical equipment plugged into the generator AC power receptacles can withstand a ±10% voltage and a ±3% frequency variation.

Powering Motors

You can start most 1.5 HP, single-phase electric motors if there is no load on the motor or other load connected to the RANGER 9. After starting, the motor may be run at full load. Larger motors (up to 2 HP) may be started and run as long as you don’t exceed the current rating of the receptacle. This may mean that only 230 volt motors of this size may be operated.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The RANGER 9 generator is rated at 9000 continuous watts. It provides both 115 volt and 230 volt power. You can draw up to 80 amps total from the 115 volt receptacles, but no more than 20 amps (15 amps CSA) from each receptacle at once. See Tables B.4A and B.4B. Up to 40 amps can be drawn from the single 230 volt receptacle.

The current rating of any plug used must be at least equal to the current load being drawn from the recep- tacle. Do not try to connect the receptacles in paral- lel.

Electrical loads in watts are calculated by multiplying the voltage rating of the load by the number of amps it draws. (This information is given on the load device nameplate.) For example, a device rated 115 volts, 2 amps will need 230 watts of power (115 x 2 = 230).

You can use Table B.6, GENERATOR POWER APPLI- CATIONS, to determine the wattage requirements of some common types of loads you can power with the RANGER 9. Be sure to read the notes at the bottom of the table.

It is possible to weld and use the RANGER 9 for auxil- iary power at the same time. However, the size of the loads you can power is reduced when you weld. See Table B.5 in this section of the manual for a list of per- missible simultaneous welding and load ratings. The table assumes that power is being drawn from either a 115 volt or the 230 volt receptacle, but not both at the same time.

NOTE: For simultaneous welding and power, set the OUTPUT CONTROL at “10” for maximum auxiliary power. At settings below “10,” only incandescent loads should be connected to the auxiliary recepta- cles.

To use the generator as an auxiliary power supply:

1.Start the gasoline engine. See ENGINE OPERA- TION in this section of the manual.

2.Set the IDLER CONTROL to the desired operating mode, HIGH or AUTO. Set the OUTPUT CON- TROL to “10.” See Figure B.1.

3.Plug the load(s) into the appropriate 115 volt or 230 volt power receptacle.

NOTE: The 115 volt auxillary power receptacles should only be used with three-wire grounded type plugs or approved double insulated devices with two-wire plugs.
