INSTALLATION
RANGER 10,000
A-4
WELDING OUTPUT CABLES
With the engine off, connect the electrode and work
cables to the studs provided. These connections
should be checked periodically and tightened if neces-
sary. Loose connections will result in overheating of
the output studs.
When welding at a considerable distance from the
welder, be sure you use ample size welding cables.
Listed below are copper cable sizes recommended for
the rated current and duty cycle. Lengths stipulated
are the distance from the welder to work and back to
the welder again. Cable sizes are increased for
greater lengths primarily for the purpose of minimizing
cable voltage drop.
ANGLE OF OPERATION
Internal combustion engines are designed to run in a
level condition which is where the optimum perfor-
mance is achieved. The maximum angle of operation
for the engine is 15 degrees from horizontal in any
direction. If the engine is to be operated at an angle,
provisions must be made for checking and maintain-
ing the oil at the normal (FULL) oil capacity in the
crankcase in a level condition.
When operating at an angle, the effective fuel capacity
will be slightly less than the specified 9 gallons.
LIFTING
The RANGER 10,000 weighs approximately 575 lbs.
with a full tank of gasoline. A lift bail is mounted to the
machine and should always be used when lifting the
machine.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
If the RANGER 10,000 will be consistently operated at
altitudes above 5000 ft, a carburetor jet designed for
high altitudes should be installed. This will result in
better fuel economy, cleaner exhaust, and longer
spark plug life. It will not
give increased power which
is decreased at higher altitudes. Engine horsepower is
reduced by 3.5% per 1000 feet for altitudes above 377
feet.
Do not operate a RANGER 10,000 with a high alti-
tude jet installed at altitudes below 5000 ft. This
will result in the engine running too lean and
result in higher engine operating temperatures
which can shorten engine life.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Contact your local Kohler, Honda or Robin/Subaru
Authorized Dealer for high altitude jet kits that are
available from the engine manufacturer.
Muffler Relocation
• Shut off welder and allow muffler to cool before
touching muffler.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The RANGER 10,000 is shipped with the exhaust
coming out on the left side. The exhaust can be
changed to the opposite side by removing the two
screws that hold the exhaust port cover in place and
installing the cover on the opposite side. (Operating
the RANGER 10,000 without the cover in place will
result in a higher noise level and no increase in
machine output.)
CAUTION
WARNING
• Lift only with equipment of
adequate lifting capacity.
• Be sure machine is stable
when lifting.
• Do not lift this machine using
lift bale if it is equipped with a
heavy accessory such as trail-
er or gas cylinder.
FALLING • Do not lift machine if lift bale is
EQUIPMENT can damaged.
cause injury. • Do not operate machine while
suspended from lift bale.
