BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
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. 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.
Check and fill the engine fuel tank:
DIESEL fuel can cause fire or
explosion.
• Stop engine when fueling.
• Do not smoke when fueling.
• Remove cap slowly to release pressure.
• Do not overfill tank.
• Wipe up spilled fuel and allow fumes to clear before
starting engine.
• Keep sparks and flame away from 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: DO NOT allow the RANGER 10-LX to run out
of fuel. If it does, you will have to bleed the injection
system.
NOTE: USE DIESEL FUEL ONLY.
NOTE: Purchase diesel fuel in quantities that will be
used within 30 days, to assure freshness.
