Check and fill the engine oil level:

1.Be sure the machine is on a level surface.

2.Remove the engine oil dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth. Reinsert the dipstick and check the level on the dipstick. On the Onan engine, the oil fill cap and dipstick are a unit. See Figure D.1 in the Maintenance section of this manual.

3.Add oil (if necessary) to bring the level up to the full mark. Do not overfill.

Replace the dipstick and tighten it securely.

2. Hold the Engine Switch in the START position. Release the switch when the engine starts. Slowly return the choke control to the full “in” position.

The engine will run at high idle for 10-14 seconds, then go to low idle.

3.Let the engine run at low idle for a few minutes to warm up before you use the RANGER 9 for weld- ing or auxiliary power.

If the engine will not start, see the Trouble- shooting section of this manual.

Check and fill the engine fuel tank:

1.Remove the fuel tank cap.

2.Fill the tank approximately 4 inches

(100 mm) from the top of the filler neck to allow for fuel expansion (observe the fuel gauge). DO NOT FILL THE TANK TO THE POINT OF OVERFLOW.

3.Replace the fuel tank cap and tighten securely.

NOTE: Use only fresh, unleaded gasoline with octane rating 87 or higher. Gasoline/alcohol blends are approved for use with your engine as long as the blend does not exceed 10% ethyl alcohol by volume. Other gasoline/alcohol blends are not approved, and their use may damage fuel system and engine parts. NOTE: Purchase gasoline in quantities that will be used within 30 days, to assure freshness.

STARTING THE ENGINE

NOTE: Remove all loads connected to the AC power receptacles before starting the gasoline engine.

For a “cold” engine:

1.Set the Idler Control Switch in the AUTO position.

Use the Choke Control as follows:

If the engine is cold, pull the choke control out. If the engine is warm or hot, DO NOT use the choke control.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

1.Remove all welding and generator power loads and let the engine cool by running it for several minutes at low idle.

2. Stop the engine by placing the Engine Switch in the STOP position.

A fuel shutoff valve is not required on the RANGER 9 because the fuel tank is mounted below the engine.

BREAK-IN PERIOD

Any engine will use a small amount of oil during its “break-in” period. For the gasoline engine on the RANGER 9, break-in is about 50 running hours.

Check the oil at least twice a day during break-in. Change the oil after the first 25 hours of operation. Change the oil filter at the second oil change. For more details, see the Maintenance section of this manual.

CAUTION

During break-in, subject the RANGER 9 to moderate loads. Avoid long periods running at idle. Before stopping the engine, remove all loads and allow the engine to cool several minutes.
