B-4
• Quiet engine muffler with reversible exhaust feature
for right or left side.
• All copper alternator windings and high quality insu-
lation for dependable long life.
• Automatic engine shutdown protection for low oil
pressure.
• Automatic engine idler goes to low idle 10 to 14
seconds after welding for greater fuel economy;
includes high idle switch.
• Standard Remote Control Receptacle provides
interface for Lincoln remote control accessories.
Both 6 pin and 14 pin amphenols are provided for
ease in hooking up wire feeders.
• Canadian Standard Association (CSA) approved
models available; include integrated generator out-
put overload protection through two 50 amp circuit
breakers.

WELDING CAPABILITY

The RANGER 9 is rated 250 amps, 25 volts constant
current AC or 250 amps, 25 volts constant current DC
(250 amps 25 volts constant voltage DC) at 100% duty
cycle on a ten-minute basis.
The current is continuously variable from 40 to 250
amps AC or 40 to 250 amps DC. The RANGER 9 can
weld with all 3/32 and most 1/8 inch and 1/16 diame-
ter Lincoln AC stick electrodes. Wire feed processes
using wire diameters from .030 to .068 inch are possi-
ble, depending on the specific process and wire feed-
er. (See LIMITATIONS.)

OPERATION

LIMITATIONS

• The RANGER 9 is not recommended for any
processes besides those that are normally per-
formed using stick welding (SMAW), TIG welding,
MIG (GMAW) welding and Innershield
welding.
RANGER 9 for these processes are described in the
WELDING OPERATION section of this manual.
• The RANGER 9 is not recommended for pipe thaw-
ing.
• During welding, generator power is limited and out-
put voltages can drop. Therefore, DO NOT OPER-
ATE ANY SENSITIVE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
WHILE YOU ARE WELDING. See Table B.4 for per-
missible simultaneous welding and auxiliary power
loads.

CONTROLS AND SETTINGS

All generator/welder controls are located on the
Output Control Panel of the machine case front.
Gasoline engine choke control, idler control, and
start/stop controls are also on the case front. See
Figure B.1 and the explanations that follow.
