STACKING

RANGER 9 machines CANNOT be stacked.

TILTING

Place the machine on a secure, level surface whenev- er you use it or store it. Any surfaces you place it on other than the ground must be firm, non-skid, and structurally sound.

The gasoline engine is designed to run in a level posi- tion for best performance. It can operate at an angle, but this should never be more than 15 degrees in any direction. If you do operate it at a slight angle, be sure to check the oil regularly and keep the oil level at the FULL mark as it would be in its normal level condition. Also, fuel capacity will be a little less at an angle.

LIFTING

The RANGER 9 weighs 562 lbs/255 kg. A lift bail is mounted to the generator stator frame and should always be used when lifting the machine.

WARNING

•Keep hands away from the engine muffler or HOT engine parts.

•Stop the engine when fueling.

•Do not smoke when fueling.

•Remove the fuel cap slowly to release pressure.

•Do not overfill the fuel tank.

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

•Keep sparks and flame away from the fuel tank.

OIL

The RANGER 9 is shipped with the engine filled with SAE 10W-30 oil. CHECK THE OIL LEVEL BEFORE YOU START THE ENGINE. This

is an added precaution. When full, the oil level should be up to but not over the FULL mark on the dipstick. If it is not full, add enough oil to fill it to the full mark.

For more oil fill and service information, see the MAINTENANCE section of this manual.

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION

If you operate the RANGER 9 at altitudes above 5000 feet, you should install a carburetor jet designed for high altitude operation. This will result in better fuel economy, cleaner exhaust, and longer spark plug life. It won’t give increased power. Power is decreased at higher altitudes. Contact the engine manufacturer to obtain these high altitude jet kits (Onan kit part num- ber 146-0458).

FUEL

Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, regular grade lead-free gasoline. DO NOT MIX

OIL WITH THE GASOLINE.

The RANGER 9 has a 9 gallon (34.1 litre), bottom mounted fuel tank with a top fill and fuel gauge. See the Operation and Maintenance sec- tions of this manual for more details about fuel.

CAUTION

Do not operate a RANGER 9 with a high altitude jet installed at altitudes below 5000 feet. The engine will run too lean and operate at higher engine tempera- tures, which can shorten engine life.

PRE-OPERATION ENGINE SERVICE

Read and understand the information about the gaso- line engine in the Operation and Maintenance sec- tions of this manual before you operate the RANGER 9.

BATTERY CONNECTIONS

– + The RANGER 9 is shipped with the nega- tive battery cable disconnected. Before you operate the machine, make sure the Engine Switch is in the STOP position and attach the discon- nected cable securely to the battery terminal. If the battery is discharged and won’t start the engine, see the battery charging instructions in the Maintenance

section.
