VEHICLE MOUNTING

WARNING

Improperly mounted concentrated loads may cause unstable vehicle handling and tires or other components to fail.

•Only transport this Equipment on serviceable vehicles which are rated and designed for such loads.

•Distribute, balance and secure loads so vehicle is stable under conditions of use.

•Do not exceed maximum rated loads for compo- nents such as suspension, axles and tires.

•Mount equipment base to metal bed or frame of vehicle.

•Follow vehicle manufacture’s instructions.

PRE-OPERATION ENGINE SERVICE

READ the engine operating and maintenance instruc- tions supplied with this machine.

WARNING

FUEL

USE GASOLINE FUEL ONLY

WARNING

•Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh fuel. The capacity of the fuel tank is 12 gallons (45.4 liters). When the fuel gauge reads empty the tank contains approximately 2 gallons(7.6 liters) of reserve fuel.

NOTE: The fuel tank is mounted below the engine so a fuel shutoff valve is not required.

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

ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM

WARNING

Air to cool the engine is drawn in lower set of louvers on the case back. It is important that the intake air is not restricted. Allow a minimum clearance of 2 feet (0.6m) from the case back to a vertical surface.

BATTERY CONNECTION

CAUTION

GASOLINE

can cause fire or explosion.

•Stop engine while fueling.

•Do not smoke when fueling.

•Keep sparks and flame away from tank.

•Do not leave unattended while fueling.

•Wipe up spilled fuel and allow fumes to clear before starting engine.

•Do not overfill tank, fuel expan- sion may cause overflow.

Use caution as the electrolyte is a strong acid that can burn skin and damage eyes.

The RANGER 305G is shipped with the negative bat- tery cable disconnected. Make certain that the RUN- STOP switch is in the STOP position. Remove the two screws from the rear battery tray using a screwdriver or a 3/8" socket. Attach the negative battery cable to the negative battery terminal and tighten using a 1/2" socket or wrench.

GASOLINE FUEL ONLY

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

OIL

The RANGER 305G is shipped with the engine crankcase filled with high quality 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. Check the oil level every four hours of run- ning time during the first 25 running hours. Refer to the engine Operator’s Manual for specific oil recom- mendations and break-in information. The oil change interval is dependent on the quality of the oil and the operating environment. Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual for the proper service and maintenance inter- vals.

NOTE: This machine is furnished with a wet charged battery; if unused for several months, the battery may require a booster charge. Be careful to charge the bat- tery with the correct polarity.

MUFFLER OUTLET PIPE

Using the clamp provided secure the outlet pipe to the outlet tube with the pipe positioned such that it will direct the exhaust in the desired direction. Tighten using a 9/16" socket or wrench.
