should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.
kill.
3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits
are electrically “hot” when the welder is on.
Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare
skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free
gloves to insulate hands.
4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant
material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from
the arc rays.
3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.
Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full
area of physical contact with work and ground.
4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable
screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose
themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.
In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding
must be performed under electrically hazardous
conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet
clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings or
scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,
kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or
accidental contact with the workpiece or ground) use
the following equipment:
FUMES AND GASES
can be dangerous.
5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases
hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these

• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.
• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.
fumes and gases.When welding, keep
your head out of the fume. Use enough
ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep
fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When
welding with electrodes which require special
ventilation such as stainless or hard facing (see
instructions on container or MSDS) or on lead or
cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings
which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as
low as possible and below Threshold Limit Values (TLV)
using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. In
confined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a
respirator may be required. Additional precautions are
also required when welding on galvanized steel.
3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,
electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic
welding gun are also electrically “hot”.
3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical
connection with the metal being welded. The connection
should be as close as possible to the area being welded.
3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical
(earth) ground.
3.f. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and
welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace
damaged insulation.
5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected
by various factors including proper use and positioning of
the equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the spe-
cific welding procedure and application involved. Worker
exposure level should be checked upon installation and
periodically thereafter to be certain it is within applicable
OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits.
3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of
electrode holders connected to two welders because voltage
between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage
of both welders.
5.c. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors
coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.
The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to
form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating prod-
ucts.
3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect
yourself from a fall should you get a shock.
3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.
5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and
cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation,
especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.
5.e. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this
equipment and the consumables to be used, including the
material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your
employer’s safety practices. MSDS forms are available from
your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.

SAFETY
WELDING SPARKS can
cause fire or explosion.
CYLINDER may explode
if damaged.
6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area.
If this is not possible, cover them to prevent
7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders
containing the correct shielding gas for the
the welding sparks from starting a fire.
Remember that welding sparks and hot
materials from welding can easily go through small cracks
and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near
hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.
process used and properly operating
regulators designed for the gas and
pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for
the application and maintained in good condition.
7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely
chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.
6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site,
special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous
situations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSI
Standard Z49.1) and the operating information for the
equipment being used.
7.c. Cylinders should be located:
•Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to
physical damage.
6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode
circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact
can cause overheating and create a fire hazard.
•A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and
any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.
7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other
electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.
6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the
proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures
will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances
inside. They can cause an explosion even though they have
been “cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended
Safe Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting of
Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous
Substances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society
(see address above).
7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet
when opening the cylinder valve.
7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand
tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for
use.
7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas
cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l,
“Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in
Cylinders,” available from the Compressed Gas Association
1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.
6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or
welding. They may explode.
6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil
free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt,
cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear
ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a
welding area.
FOR ELECTRICALLY
powered equipment.
6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding
area as practical. Work cables connected to the building
framework or other locations away from the welding area
increase the possibility of the welding current passing
through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate cir-
cuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains
or cables until they fail.
8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect
switch at the fuse box before working on
the equipment.
8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National
Electrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
6.h. Also see item 1.c.

SAFETY
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ
Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructions
et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans ce
manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suiv-
antes:
6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de
prévenir tout risque d’incendie dû aux étincelles.
7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé de
la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un
échauffement et un risque d’incendie.
Sûreté Pour Soudage A L’Arc
1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:
8. S’assurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible
de la zone de travail qu’il est pratique de le faire. Si on place
la masse sur la charpente de la construction ou d’autres
endroits éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque
de voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de lev-
age, câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer
des risques d’incendie ou d’echauffement des chaines et des
câbles jusqu’à ce qu’ils se rompent.
a. Les circuits à l’électrode et à la piéce sont sous tension
quand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujours
tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue
ou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sans
trous pour isoler les mains.
b. Faire trés attention de bien s’isoler de la masse quand on
soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher
metallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans
les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grande
partie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.
c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câble
de soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr état
defonctionnement.
d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans l’eau pour le
refroidir.
e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension
des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souder
parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être le
total de la tension à vide des deux machines.
9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.
Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôles
galvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal qui
produit des fumeés toxiques.
10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenant
d’opérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La
chaleur ou les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs
du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique)
ou autres produits irritants.
11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté,
voir le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSA
Standard W 117.2-1974.
f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source de
courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions
pour le porte-électrode s’applicuent aussi au pistolet de
soudage.
2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protéger
contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamais
enrouler le câble-électrode autour de n’importe quelle partie
du corps.
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR
LES MACHINES À SOUDER À
TRANSFORMATEUR ET À
REDRESSEUR
3. Un coup d’arc peut être plus sévère qu’un coup de soliel,
donc:
a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié
ainsi qu’un verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du ray-
onnement de l’arc et des projections quand on soude ou
quand on regarde l’arc.
1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code de
l’électricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositif
de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à une
bonne mise à la terre.
b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la
peau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de
l‘arc.
2. Autant que possible, I’installation et l’entretien du poste seront
effectués par un électricien qualifié.
c. Protéger l’autre personnel travaillant à proximité au
soudage à l’aide d’écrans appropriés et non-inflammables.
3. Avant de faires des travaux à l’interieur de poste, la debranch-
er à l’interrupteur à la boite de fusibles.
4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de l’arc de
soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres
de l’huile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pan-
talons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.
4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur
place.
5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de
soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les
zones où l’on pique le laitier.

ANGLE OF OPERATION
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
manufacturer.
Internal combustion engines are designed to run in a level
condition which is where the optimum performance 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.
CAUTION
When operating at an angle, the effective fuel capacity will
be slightly less than the specified 9 gallons.
Do not operate with a high altitude jet installed at alti-
tudes below 5000 ft. This will result in the engine run-
ning too lean and result in higher engine operating tem-
peratures which can shorten engine life.

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.

(Receptacle viewed from front of Machine)
CAUTION
Do not connect any plugs that connect to the
power receptacles in parallel.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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.
The current rating of any plug used with the system
must be at least equal to the current load through the
associated receptacle.
120/240 VOLT DUAL VOLTAGE RECEPTACLE
MOTOR STARTING
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.
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.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The RANGER 10,000 PLUS AND RANGER 10,000
are twin-cylinder, gasoline driven, multiprocess arc
welders and AC power generators. They are built in
heavy gauge steel cases for durability on the job site.
After welding ceases (and no auxiliary power is
being drawn), the engine will return to low idle
after approximately 10 to 14 seconds.
•
Auxiliary Power
With the engine running at low idle and auxiliary
power for lights or tools is drawn (approximately
100-150 watts or greater) from the receptacles,
the engine will accelerate to high speed. If no
power is being drawn from the receptacles (and
not welding) for 10-14 seconds, the idler reduces
the engine speed to low idle.

selected range set the “OUTPUT” Control at 10. For min-
imum output within a selected range set the “OUTPUT”
Control at 5. (“OUTPUT” Control settings below 5 may
reduce arc stability) For best overall welding perfor-
mance set the “RANGE” Switch to the lowest setting and
the OUTPUT” Control near the maximum to achieve the
desired welding current.
NOTE: For AC TIG Welding, the maximum TIG welding output
currents on each range setting will be approximately 50%
higher than those marked on the nameplate. This is due to the
special nature of the AC TIG welding arc. Do not AC TIG weld
on the 225AC range setting. The output current may exceed
the rating of the Ranger 10,000 PLUS & RANGER 10,000.

AIR CLEANER AND OTHER MAINTENANCE
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the
requirements for API service classification SG or SH.
Always check the API SERVICE label on the oil con-
tainer to be sure it includes the letters SG or SH.
•
Air Cleaner - With normal operating conditions, the
maintenance schedule for cleaning and re-oiling
the foam pre-filter is every 25 hours and replace-
ment of the air cleaner filter every 100 hours.
More frequent servicing is required with dusty
operating conditions. Refer to the maintenance
section of the Engine Owner’s Manual for more
information.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general, all-tempera-
ture use, -5 F to 104 F (-20 C to 40 C).

Wash your hands with soap and water after handling
used oil.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is
compatible with the environment. We suggest you take
it in a sealed container to your local service station or
recycling center for reclamation.
Blow out the machine with low pressure air period-
ically. In particularly dirty locations, this may be
required once a week.
Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground or
down a drain.
• Output Ranger Selector and Polarity Switches:
Switch contacts should not be greased. To keep
contacts clean, rotate the switch through its entire
range frequently. Good practice is to turn the han-
dle from maximum to minimum setting twice each
morning before starting to weld.
OIL FILTER CHANGE
1. Drain the engine oil.
2. Remove the oil filter, and drain the oil into a suitable
container. Discard the used oil filter.
3. Clean the filter mounting base, and coat the gasket
of the new oil filter with clean engine oil.
4. Screw on the new oil filter by hand, until the gasket
contacts the filter mounting base, then use an oil fil-
ter socket tool to tighten the filter an additional 1/2 to
7/8 turn.
5. Refill the crankcase with the specified amount of the
recommended oil. Reinstall the oil filler cap.
6. Start the engine and check for oil filter leaks.
7. Stop the engine, and check the oil level. If neces-
sary, add oil to the upper limit mark on the dipstick.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adjustments to the engine are to be made only by a
Lincoln Service Center or an authorized Field Service
Shop.
• CONNECTING A BATTERY CHARGER - Remove bat-
tery from welder by disconnecting negative cable first,
then positive cable and battery clamp. When rein-
stalling, connect negative cable last. Keep well venti-
lated.
• USING A BOOSTER - connect positive lead to battery
first then connect negative lead to engine foot.
BATTERY ACID CAN BURN EYES AND SKIN.
• Wear gloves and eye protection and be careful when

battery.
BATTERY
SLIP RINGS
1. When replacing, jumping, or otherwise connecting
the battery to the battery cables, the proper
polarity must be observed. Failure to observe
the proper polarity could result in damage to the
charging circuit. The positive (+) battery cable
has a red terminal cover.
A slight amount of darkening and wear of the slip rings
and brushes is normal. Brushes should be inspected
when a general overhaul is necessary.If brushes are
to be replaced, clean slip rings with a fine emery
paper.
2. If the battery requires charging from an external
charger, disconnect the negative battery cable
first and then the positive battery cable before
attaching the charger leads. Failure to do so
can result in damage to the internal charger
components. When reconnecting the cables,
connect the positive cable first and the negative
cable last.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to polish slip rings while engine is
running.
