WARNING
Use extreme caution when raising or extend-

be level. Loaded or empty, this machine can
tip if not level.
ALWAYS place the transmission in neutral, set
the park brake and keep the service brake
pedal fully depressed before raising or
extending the boom.
NEVER exceed the specified lifting or extend-
ing capacities of this machine. Serious
machine damage or personal injury may
result. Refer to the load charts in the opera-
tor’s station or this manual.
If a boom circuit hose should break with the
boom up, with or without a load, shut the
machine down following the MANDATORY
SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE (Safety
chapter p.10). DO NOT attempt repairs. Call
your GEHL dealer immediately for assistance.
The truss boom and winch attachment tools
should ONLY be used to lift and place loads
when the machine is stationary. DO NOT use
truss boom to transport loads around the job-
site. This can cause the load to swing, result-
ing in either the load dropping or machine
tipover.
NEVER use winch for lifting or moving of per-
sonnel. NEVER exceed the maximum rated
capacity of the winch (3000 lbs/1360 kg) or
exceed the load chart rating for winch appli-
cations.
DO NOT tilt the truss boom back more than
45

from horizontal. DO NOT attempt to use
the rotating carriage as a load leveling func-
tion. Always level the frame prior to handling a
load.
