FEATURES
Arc Performance
Smooth DC welding output for a broad range of stick electrodes, such
as Lincoln Excalibur
®
7018 (AWS E7018) and Fleetweld
®
5P+ (AWS
E6010). Also capable of MIG, flux-cored, and TIG welding.
Choose DC(+) for a deep penetrating arc or DC(-) for less penetration
on thin sheet metal.
Rated 225 amps/25 volts/40% duty cycle and 210 amps/25 volts/100%
duty cycle for CC and 200 amps/20 volts for CV. All rated outputs at
104°F (40°C).
Simple Output Range Selector can be used to select one of three
amperage ranges with generous overlap for Stick/TIG welding, or one
Wire Feed welding range.
Fine adjustment control allows you to dial in just the right welding
output for each application.
Add productivity with self-shielded flux-cored CV wire welding.
Compatible with Lincoln Electric LN-25 PRO and LN-15 Across-the-Arc
wire feeders for use with a variety of wire electrodes.
Expand to AC TIG welding with optional Square Wave
TIG 175 or
Invertec
®
V205-T AC/DC (powered by AC generator power from the
Ranger
®
225) for aluminum and other alloy welding.
Arc gouge with up to 5/32 in. (4.0 mm) carbon electrode.
AC Generator Performance
10,500 watts peak AC generator power. Most peak power in its class.
Use for motor starting.
9,000 watts continuous AC generator power. For high capacity needs
such as a back-up generator, powering a Tomahawk
®
625 plasma
cutter, an Invertec
®
inverter welder or a Square Wave
TIG 175 welder.
Also for lights, a grinder or other power tools.
Delivers up to 38 amps from the single 120V/240V full-KVA
receptacle. Standard circuit breakers protect the machine as well as
your power tools.
Delivers up to 40 amps from two 120V duplex receptacles.
Get two tools in one when you use the Ranger
®
225 as
a power generator for emergency standby power, and/or
for welding.
Optional GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) Kit available for
additional protection from electrical shock.
Simultaneous welding and AC generator power – power up to
3,950 watts while welding at 145 amps (AC generator power is
reduced when welding simultaneously per table below).
Take on more jobs – plug in an optional Tomahawk
®
625 plasma
cutter to cleanly cut metal.
Top-of-the-line OHV engine: Kohler
®
Command
®
23 HP CH23S.
Three engine doors provide machine protection and easy
service access.
Easy to Maintain – Engine requires an oil change only every 100 hours
and every 200 hours for the oil filter.
Electric Start Switch for easy starts. Switch combines OFF, START, and
IDLER functions into one simple, compact, easy to use switch.
Circuit breaker protects battery ignition circuit.
Convenient truck or trailer mounting with front and rear holes in base.
