ENGINE OPERATION

DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE AT EXCESSIVE

SPEEDS. The maximum allowable high idle speed

for the RANGER 8+ DIESEL is 3750 RPM, no load.

Do NOT adjust the governor screw on the engine.

Severe personal injury and damage to the machine

can result if it is operated at speeds above the maxi-

mum rated speed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Read and understand all safety instructions included

in the Ruggerini instruction manual that is shipped

with your RANGER 8+ DIESEL.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

Check the engine oil level:

See Engine manual for location of dipstick.

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.

3. Add oil (if necessary) to bring the level up to the full

mark. Do not overfill.

4. Replace the dipstick.

Check the Oil Bath Air Cleaner:

With normal operating conditions, check the oil level in

the air cleaner daily. Refer to the engine manual for

the oil grade and other servicing information.

Check and fill the engine fuel tank:

DIESEL fuel can cause fire or

explosion.

• Stop engine when fueling.

• Do not smoke when fueling.

• Do not overfill tank.

• Keep sparks and flame away from tank.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Remove the fuel tank cap.

2. Fill the tank approximately 6-8 inches (150-200

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.

WARNING

USE DIESEL FUEL ONLY

Purchase diesel fuel in quantities that will be used

within 30 days, to assure freshness.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

STARTING THE ENGINE

Remove all loads connected to the AC power recepta-

cles and the welder before starting the diesel engine.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Check for proper oil level on the oil dipstick.

2. Set “IDLER” switch to “AUTO”. /

3. Check the fuel gauge to make sure that there is an

adequate fuel level.

4. The engine used in the Ranger 8+ Diesel

can be started in temperatures as low as 5°F

(-15°C). In cold weather conditions press the

“GLOW PLUG” button for 10 to 15 seconds.

Under NO conditions should ether or other starting fluids be used in con-

junction with the glow plugs. This may cause an explosion or fire!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Press the “START” button to crank the engine.

Release when the engine starts. After running at

high engine speed for 8-12 seconds, the engine will go to

low idle.

Note: Do not press start button while engine is running.

Check that the charge indicator light is off and that the oil

pressure gauge indicates that there is sufficent oil pres-

sure. If not, immediately stop the engine and investigate

the indicated problem.

Allow the engine to warm up at low idle speed for several

minutes before applying a load and/or switching to high

idle. Allow a longer warm up time in cold weather.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

Remove all welding and auxiliary power loads and let the

engine cool by running it for several minutes at low idle.

Stop the engine by pulling the stop cable and hold it ‘out’

until engine has stopped. A fuel shut off valve is not

required on the RANGER 8+ DIESEL because the fuel

tank is mounted below the engine.
