access.
SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE TIPS
The fuel system in your Ranger requires little or no maintenance.
However, the periodic inspection outlined below is strongly
recommended. Contact your Ranger dealer for proper fuel tank access for
your model.
(1) Check fuel tank(s) for leakage, especially around electric sender and
fuel hose connections.
(2) Check fuel tank hold down brackets, making sure they are secure.
(3) Check battery hold down or boxes, making sure they are secure.
(4) Do not store items on, in, or around fuel tanks or batteries. “Good
housekeeping” in this compartment is essential to safe boating and a
maintenance-free fuel and electrical system.
(5) Check hose connections at the deck fuel fill, fuel tank vent, and (if
equipped with more than one tank), the fuel switch valve.
Naturally, a leak-free fuel system is a MUST for proper engine operation
and on-board safety. Always inspect for fuel leaks prior to connecting
battery charger to your engine cranking battery. Rear battery
compartment lid should always be open for ventilation when charging the
batteries.
