FUEL

Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh regular grade lead- free gasoline. Observe the fuel gauge while filling to prevent overfilling.

The Ranger 275 has a 9 U.S. gallon (7.5 Imp. Gal., 34L) fuel tank mounted below the generator. See the Engine Owners Manual for more details about the fuel.

BATTERY CONNECTIONS

WARNING

GASES FROM BATTERY can explode.

Keep sparks, flame and cigarettes

away from battery.

To prevent EXPLOSION when:

INSTALLING A NEW BATTERY — disconnect

negative cable from old battery first and connect to new battery last.

CONNECTING A BATTERY CHARGER — remove battery from welder by disconnecting nega- tive cable first, then positive cable and battery clamp. When reinstalling, connect

negative cable last. Keep well ventilated.

USING A BOOSTER — connect positive lead to battery first then connect negative lead to negative battery lead at engine foot.

BATTERY ACID can burn eyes and skin.

Wear gloves and eye protection and be careful when working near battery.

Follow instructions printed on battery.

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

IMPORTANT: To prevent ELECTRICAL DAMAGE WHEN:

a)Installing new batteries.

b)Using a booster.

Use correct polarity — Negative Ground.

The Ranger 275 is shipped with the negative battery cable disconnected. Before you operate the machine, make sure the Engine Switch is in the STOP position and attach the disconnected cable securely to the negative (-) battery terminal.

Remove the insulating cap from the negative battery terminal. Replace and tighten negative battery cable terminal. NOTE: This machine is furnished with a wet charged battery; if unused for several months, the bat- tery may require a booster charge. Be sure to use the correct polarity when charging the battery.

MUFFLER

CAUTION

Shut off the machine and allow the muffler to cool before touching the muffler.

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

The Ranger 275 is shipped with the exhaust coming out on the left side. The exhaust can be changed to the opposite side by removing the two screws that hold the exhaust port cover in place and installing the cover on the opposite side. (Operating the Ranger 275 without the cover in place will result in a higher noise level and no increase in machine output.)

SPARK ARRESTER

Gasoline engine mufflers may emit sparks when the engine is running. Some federal, state, or local laws require spark arresters in locations where unarrested sparks could present a fire hazard.

Standard mufflers do not act as spark arresters. When local laws require it, a spark arrester must be installed on the machine and properly maintained. An optional spark arrester kit is available for your Ranger

275.See the ACCESSORIES section of this manual for more information.

CAUTION

An incorrect spark arrester may lead to damage to the engine or reduce performance.
