INSTALLATION

7. Set the "IDLE" switch to the "AUTO" position.

When not welding, the Ranger 250 engine will be
at the low idle speed. If you are using an LN-25
with an internal contactor, the electrode is not
energized until the gun trigger is closed.

8. When the gun trigger is closed, the current sens-

ing circuit will cause the Ranger 250 engine to go
to the high idle speed, the wire will begin to feed
and the welding process started. When welding is
stopped, the engine will revert to low idle speed
after approximately 12 seconds unless welding is
resumed.
