WARNING
IMPORTANT: To prevent ELECTRICAL DAMAGE
WHEN:
a) Installing new batteries.
b) Using a booster.
Use correct polarity — Negative Ground.
The RANGER 8+ DIESEL is shipped with the negative
battery cable disconnected. Before you operate the
machine, attach the disconnected cable securely to
the negative (-) battery terminal.
NOTE: This machine is furnished with a wet charged
battery; if unused for several months, the battery may
require a booster charge. Be sure to use the correct
polarity when charging the battery.
SPARK ARRESTER
Diesel 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.
The standard muffler on the RANGER 8+ DIESEL
does not act as a spark arrester. When local laws
require it, a spark arrester must be installed on the
machine and properly maintained.
An incorrect spark arrester may lead to damage to the
engine or reduce performance.
