TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS -

RANgER 330MPX (KOHLER) (K3459-1)

Lift bail rating 1085 lb (492 kg) Maximum.

IEC 60974-1; IP23

-10°C TO +40°C OPERATING RANGE.

gENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Ranger

330MPX is a compact, versatile machine for a wide

variety of applications. They are well suited for service trucks,
maintenance, repairs, pipeline welding, farm and ranch work, and
back-up power.

The small size and low weight allows more room for trucks to
carry tools and other equipment.

The fully sealed display guides welders to the best settings for
making a quality weld.

Low sound improves work place safety and may qualify the
machine for low noise regions, such as near schools or hospitals.

Auxiliary power quality is the best in its class – less than 5% total
harmonic distortion throughout the entire power range. Quality of
the auxiliary power is fully independent of the weld setting.

Direct connect spool gun makes wire welding easy and
inexpensive.
