INTRODUCTION
The information in this Operator’s Manual was written to give the owner/operator assistance in preparing,
adjusting, maintaining and servicing of the paver. More important, this manual provides an operating plan
for safe and proper use of the machine. Major points of safe operation are detailed in the
SAFETY
chapter
of this manual.
GEHL Company asks that you read and understand the contents of this manual COMPLETELY and
become familiar with the machine, before operating it.
The use of this asphalt paver (referred to as paver throughout the rest of the manual) is subject to certain
hazards that cannot be eliminated by mechanical means, but only by the exercise of intelligence, care and
common sense. It is therefore essential to have competent and careful operators, who are not physically or
mentally impaired, and who are thoroughly trained in the safe operation of the equipment.
Throughout this manual information is provided that is set in
italic
type and introduced by the word
IMPORTANT
or
NOTE
. Be sure to read carefully and comply with the message or directive given. Fol-
lowing this information will improve operating and maintenance efficiency, help to avoid breakdowns and
damage, and extend the machine’s life. A chart of standard hardware torques is located in the back of this
manual. “Right” and “left” are determined from a position standing on the screed and facing forward.
A storage compartment is provided on the unit for storing the Operator’s Manual. After using the manual,
please return it to the storage compartment and keep it with the unit at all times! If the machine is resold,
GEHL Company recommends that this manual be given to the new owner.
If this machine was purchased "used," or if the owner's address has changed, please provide your GEHL
dealer or GEHL Company Service Department with the owner's name and current address, along with the
machine model and serial number. This will allow the registered owner information to be updated, so that
the owner can be notified directly in case of an important product issue, such as a safety update program.
The wide GEHL dealership network stands ready to provide any assistance that may be required, including
genuine GEHL service parts. All parts should be obtained from or ordered through your GEHL dealer.
Give complete information about the part and include the model and serial number of the machine. Record
the serial number in the space provided in “Model/Serial Number Information” on page 6, as a handy
record for quick reference.
GEHL Company reserves the right to make changes or improvements in the design or construction of any
part without incurring the obligation to install such changes on any unit previously delivered.
GEHL Company, in cooperation with the Society of Automotive
Engineers, has adopted this
Safety Alert Symbol
to identify potential safety hazards, which, if not properly avoided, could
result in injury. When you see this symbol in this manual or on the
machine itself, you are reminded to BE ALERT! Your personal safety is
involved!
