OIL
The RANGER 305G is shipped with the engine crankcase filled with high quality SAE
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 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
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.
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.
SPARK ARRESTER
Some federal, state or local laws may require that gasoline or diesel engines be equipped with exhaust spark arresters when they are operated in certain locations where unarrested sparks may present a fire hazard. The standard muffler included with this welder does not qualify as a spark arrester. When required by local regulations, a suitable spark arrester, such as the S24647 must be installed and properly main- tained.
CAUTION
An incorrect spark arrestor may lead to damage to the engine or adversely affect performance.
