WARNING

LPG- fuel can cause fire or explosion.

All leak testing must be done in a well ventilated area free from all potential ignition sources.

Keep sparks and flame away from machine and LPG supply cylinder.

Do not expose the LPG supply cylinder to temper- atures exceeding 120°F (49°C).

Do not weld on or near the LPG supply cylinder.

Do not smoke or allow any potential ignition sources near the LPG supply cylinder.

Always be certain that the LPG supply cylinder is NOT in the welding circuit. Do not allow either welding cable to come in contact with the supply cylinder.

Replace the fuel supply hose if there is excessive abrasion, cracks or wear or if the hose is cut.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

If growing bubbles appear, there is a leak. Re-tighten connection or replace defective component. Retest to make sure that there is no leak.

Leak test must be performed each time the fuel cylin- der is replaced.

Always close the cylinder valve when the machine is not being used.

The specification for aluminum lift truck cylinders are shown below:

Fuel

A lift truck type coupler is provided on the supplied fuel line for easy hand attachment to a lift truck type LPG fuel cylinder. The fuel cylinder must meet D.O.T. Specification 4E-240. The valve on the fuel cylinder must be installed on the outlet marked “LIQUID”.

The engine will not develop full power if connected to the vapor outlet.

Note: The Ranger 8 LPG cannot be used with vapor draw LP gas cylinders such as those used for recreation vehicles, trailers, grilles, and boats.

CAUTION

Be certain that the cylinder valve is CLOSED before attempting to attach the fuel supply hose coupler to the cylinder. Connect the coupler to the fuel cylinder and

tighten by hand.

___________________________________________

After connecting the fuel supply to the supply cylinder, open the valve on the fuel cylinder and leak test by brushing a 50/50 soap and water solution on to the fol- lowing connections:

Both ends of the fuel hose where it enters the metal connector.

The threaded fitting on the end of fuel hose attached to the Ranger 8 LPG fuel shut off solenoid.

The fuel hose coupler and the connection to the cylinder valve.

Oil

The Ranger 8 is shipped with the engine crankcase filled with SAE 10W-30 oil. Check the oil level before starting the engine. If it is not up to the full mark on the dip stick, add oil as required. Make certain that the oil filler cap is tightened securely. Refer to the engine Owner’s Manual for specific oil recommendations.
