FUEL
USE GASOLINE FUEL ONLY
Fill the fuel tank with clean fresh fuel only. Do not fill
to the top of the filler neck to allow room for expan-
sion.
The RANGER 200 has a 12 gallon (45.4 liter) fuel
tank with a top fill and fuel gauge mounted on the con-
trol panel. See the OPERATION and MAINTENANCE
sections of this manual for more details about fuel.
NOTE: The fuel tank is mounted below the engine so
a fuel shutoff valve is not required.
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
Air to cool the engine is drawn in a lower set of lou-
vers on the case back. It is important that the intake
air is not restricted. Allow a minimum clearance of 2
feet (0.6m) from the case back to a vertical surface.

INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: To prevent ELECTRICAL DAMAGE
WHEN:
a) Installing new batteries.
b) Using a booster.
Use correct polarity — Negative Ground.
The RANGER 200 is shipped with the negative bat-
tery cable disconnected. Make certain that the RUN-
STOP switch is in the STOP position. Remove the two
screws from the rear battery tray using a screwdriver
or a 3/8" socket. Attach the negative battery cable to
the negative battery terminal and tighten using 1/2"
socket wrench.
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.
MUFFLER OUTLET PIPE
Shut off the machine and allow the muffler to cool
before touching the muffler.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The RANGER 200 is shipped with a muffler outlet
pipe. Using the clamp provided secure the outlet pipe
to the outlet tube with the pipe positioned such that it
will direct the exhuast in the desired direction. Tighten
using a 9/16" socket or wrench.
SPARK ARRESTER
Gasoline 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.
Standard muffler (like the ones included with the
RANGER 200 do not act as spark arresters. When
local laws require it, a spark arrester must be installed
on the machine and properly maintained. An optional
spark arrester kit (S24647) is available for your
RANGER 200. See the ACCESSORIES section of
this manual for more information.
An incorrect spark arrester may lead to damage to the
engine or reduce performance.
