INSTALLATION
A-5 A-5
RANGER® 3 PHASE
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 maintaining
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® 3 PHASE 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.

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
At higher altitudes, elder output de-rating may be necessary.
For maximum rating, de-rate the welder output 3.5% for
every 1000ft. (305m) above 3000ft. (914m).
If operation will consistently be at altitudes above 5,000 ft.
(1525m), 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. Contact your local authorized engine service shop for
high altitude jet kits that are available from the engine manu-
facturer.
Do not operate with a high altitude jet installed at alti-
tudes below 5000 ft. This will result in the engine running
too lean and result in higher engine operating tempera-
tures which can shorten engine life.

Muffler Relocation
•
Shut off welder and allow muffler to cool before touch-
ing muffler.

The RANGER® 3 PHASE is shipped with the exhaust com-
ing 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® 3 Phase machine
without the covers in place will result in a higher noise level
and no increase in machine output.)
CAUTION
WARNING
• Lift only with equipment of ade-
quate 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 trailer
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.
