DO NOT remove the radiator cap after the engine
has reached operating temperature or if it is over-
heated. At operating temperatures, the engine
coolant will be extremely HOT and under pressure.
ALWAYS wait for the engine to cool down before
attempting to relieve pressure and remove the radi-
ator cap. Failure to heed this warning could result
in severe burns.

DO NOT attempt to loosen or disconnect any
hydraulic lines, hoses or fittings without first
relieving hydraulic circuit pressure. Also, be care-
ful not to touch any hydraulic components that
have been in recent operation because they can be
extremely hot and can burn you!

Avoid lubrication or mechanical adjustments with
the machine in motion or the engine operating. If
the engine must be in operation to make certain
adjustments, place the transmission in neutral,
apply the parking brake, place the equipment in a
safe position, securely block the wheels and use
extreme caution.

NEVER allow any riders on this machine or use as
a lift for personnel.

To insure continued safe operation, replace dam-
aged or worn-out parts with genuine GEHL service
parts, before using this equipment.

When road travel is required, know and use the
signaling devices required on the machine. Provide
an escort when required.

Modifications, Nameplates, Markings
and Capacities

Modifications or additions that affect capacity or
safe operation shall NOT be performed without the
manufacturer’s prior written approval. Where such
authorization is granted, tags or decals shall be
changed accordingly.

All attachment tools MUST be marked to identify
the attachment tool and the total capacity with
attachment tool at maximum elevation with load
laterally centered.

ALWAYS make sure all nameplates, caution and
instruction markings are in place and legible.
Local government regulations may require local
decals, which then become the responsibility of the
local owner to provide.

Study the load chart carefully. It shows maximum
capacity to be lifted and placed at specific outward
and upward distances. ALWAYS be aware of load
weights prior to attempting lift and placement with
this machine.

Protective Guards And Warning
Devices

This machine is fitted with an overhead guard in
accordance with industry standards. It is intended
to offer protection to the operator from falling
objects, but cannot protect against every possible
impact. Therefore, it should not be considered a
substitute for good judgment and care in operating
the machine.

This machine is equipped with a horn and backup
alarm. The user shall determine if operating condi-
tions require the machine be equipped with addi-
tional devices (mirrors, rotating beacon, etc.) and
be responsible for providing and maintaining such
devices.

Do NOT modify the ROPS in any manner.
Unauthorized modifications such as welding,
drilling, cutting or adding components can weaken
the structure and reduce its protective ability. If a
ROPS is subjected to roll-over or other damage it
must be replaced. Do NOT attempt to reapir a
ROPS.
