•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.

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.

•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.
