After cleaning, flush the outside of the battery, the bat- tery compartment, and surrounding areas with clear water. Coat the battery terminals lightly with petrole- um jelly or a non-conductive grease to retard corro- sion.

Keep the battery clean and dry. Moisture accumula- tion on the battery can lead to more rapid discharge and early battery failure.

CHECKING ELECTROLYTE LEVEL

If battery cells are low, fill them to the neck of the filler hole with distilled water and recharge. If one cell is low, check for leaks.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

When you charge, jump, replace, or otherwise con- nect battery cables to the battery, be sure the polarity is correct. Improper polarity can damage the charging circuit. The Ranger 275 positive (+) battery terminal has a red terminal cover.

If you need to charge the battery with an external charger, disconnect the negative cable first, then the positive cable before you attach the charger leads. after the battery is charged, reconnect the positive battery cable first and the negative cable last. Failure to do co can result in damage to the internal charger components.

Follow the instructions of the battery charger manu- facturer for proper charger settings and charging time.

SERVICING OPTIONAL SPARK ARRESTOR

WARNING

•MUFFLER MAY BE HOT!

•ALLOW ENGINE TO COOL BEFORE

INSTALLING THE SPARK ARRESTOR!

•DO NOT OPERATE ENGINE WHILE INSTALLING THE SPARK ARRESTOR!

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

1.Service every 100 hours.

2.Shut off engine and allow muffler to cool.

3.Remove clean out plug on bottom of spark arrestor.

4.Lightly tap on arrestor around drain hole to remove particulate.

5.It may be necessary to poke around inside drain hole with a wire or screwdriver to break up particu- late.

6.Reinstall clean out plug.

MAINTENANCE

STORAGE

Store the Ranger 275 in clean, dry protected areas.

CLEANING

Blow out the generator and controls periodically with low pressure air. Do this at least once a week in par- ticularly dirty areas.

BRUSH REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT

It is normal for the brushes and slip rings to wear and darken slightly. Inspect the brushes when a generator overhaul is necessary.

WARNING

Do not attempt to polish slip rings while the engine is running.
