ness of surface on which the trailer will be operated;
environmental conditions; like maintenance.
• Conformance with federal, state and local laws.(1)

regarding specific requirements for use on public
highways.
PRE-OPERATION SERVICE
READ the engine operating and maintenance
instructions supplied with this machine.
Oil
The Ranger 9 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.
Fuel
Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline.
The capacity is approximately 9 gallons (34 liters).
Observe fuel gauge while filling to prevent overfilling.
BATTERY CONNECTIONS
This welder is shipped with the negative battery cable
disconnected. Make sure that the Engine Switch is in
the “STOP” position and attach the disconnected
cable securely to the negative battery terminal before
attempting to operate the machine. If the battery is
discharged and does not have enough power to start
the engine, see the battery charging instructions in the
Battery section.
WELDING OUTPUT CABLES
With the engine off, connect the electrode and work
cables to the studs provided. These connections
should be checked periodically and tightened if neces-
sary. Loose connections will result in overheating of
the output studs.
When welding at a considerable distance from the
welder, be sure you use ample size welding cables.
Listed below are copper cable sizes recommended for
the rated current and duty cycle. Lengths stipulated
are the distance from the welder to work and back to
the welder again. Cable sizes are increased for
greater lengths primarily for the purpose of minimizing
cable voltage drop.
LOCATION/VENTILATION
The welder should be located to provide an unrestrict-
ed flow of clean, cool air to the cooling air inlets and to
avoid heated air coming out of the back of the welder
recirculating back to the cooling air inlets below the
exhaust. Also, locate the welder so that the engine
exhaust fumes are properly vented to an outside area.
Damage to fuel tank may cause fire or explosion.
Do Not drill holes in the Ranger 9 base or weld to
the Ranger 9 base.
