CONGRATULATIONS
The Ranger Tug family has a passion for boating. We are committed to continuous
process improvement in all areas that affect our customer’s satisfaction with our
products and providing great customer service.
SAFETY
Safety is always a concern at Ranger Tugs. Please read all manuals to ensure that
equipment is used in a safe manner. We highly recommend attendance in a Coast
Guard approved boating safety course. Such courses are available from the Coast
Guard directly or from boating organizations. Owners should have annual inspec-
tions to ensure that all safety equipment is current.
Operating, servicing and maintaining
a recreational marine vessel can expose
you to chemicals including engine exhaust,
carbon monoxide, phthalates, and lead,
which are known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. To minimize exposure,
avoid breathing exhaust, service your vessel
in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or
wash your hands frequently when servicing
this vessel. For more information go to
www.P65warnings.ca.gov/marine.

There is a secondary on-engine fuel filter that is not shown on this drawing. You will be able to
find information about this filter in the diesel engine manual supplied with your boat. The sec-
ondary filter is where the water-in-fuel sensor is located.
Main engine fuel shutoff is located underneath the forward engine hatch as you enter the main
cabin. The primary fuel filter is mounted on the bulkhead in the engine compartment. There is a
drain in the bottom of this filter for draining water.

CLOSED ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
STE
Provides an alternate heating system for the Fresh Water Heater and provides primary heating
source for the Forced Air Cabin Heater. This system is also designed to provide cooling to the
internal components of your engine. Please refer to your engine operations manual for more
information.
• Use only Volvo VCS coolant in this system. Do not mix coolant types.
• Close black handled coolant valves on front of engine if a leak is suspected in either the fresh
water heater or forced air cabin heater. This will keep coolant inside of the engine where it is
needed most.
