AUXILIARY POWER
The RANGER 10,000 PLUS can provide up to 9,000
watts of 120/240 volts AC, single phase 60Hz power
for continuous use and up to 10,500 watts peak. The
RANGER 10,000 (Honda 20 HP model) provides
10,000 watts peak. The front of the machine includes
three receptacles for connecting the AC power plugs;
one 50 amp 120/240 volt NEMA 14-50R receptacle
and two 20 amp 120 volt NEMA 5-20R receptacles.
Output voltage is within +/-10% at all loads up to rated
capacity. All auxiliary power is protected by cuircuit
breakers.
Do not connect any plugs that connect to the
power receptacles in parallel.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start the engine and set the "IDLER" control switch to
the desired operating mode. Set the "CONTROL" to
10. Voltage is now correct at the receptacles for auxil-
iary power.
120/240 VOLT DUAL VOLTAGE RECEPTACLE
The 120/240 volt receptacle can supply up to 38 amps
of 240 volt power to a two wire circuit, up to 38 amps
of 120 volts power from each side of a three wire cir-
cuit (up to 76 amps total). Do not connect the 120 volt
circuits in parallel. Current sensing for the automatic
idle feature is only in one leg of the three wire circuit
as shown in the following column.

INSTALLATION
*Current Sensing for Automatic Idle.
(Receptacle viewed from front of Machine)
120 V DUPLEX RECEPTACLES
The 120V auxiliary power receptacles should only be
used with three wire grounded type plugs or approved
double insulated tools with two wire plugs.
The current rating of any plug used with the system
must be at least equal to the current load through the
associated receptacle.
MOTOR STARTING
Most 1.5 hp AC single phase motors can be started if
there is no load on the motor or other load connected to
the machine, since the full load current rating of a 1.5 hp
motor is approximately 20 amperes (10 amperes for 240
volt motors). The motor may be run at full load when
plugged into only one side of the duplex receptacle.
Larger motors through 2 hp can be run provided the
receptacle rating as previously stated is not exceeded.
This may necessitate 240V operation only.
