3. Align the carrier squarely with the back of the
attachment tool.
4. Slowly extend the carrier and roll it forward until
the support pins on each side are in-line with and
slightly below the hookup ears on the back side of the
attachment tool.
5. Drive the machine forward slowly and at the same
time roll the carrier back to engage the hookup ears on
the attachment tool. Also establish proper alignment of
the carrier lock pins to the attachment.
6. Stop forward travel when the hookup ears are
engaged but continue to roll the carrier back to pick the
attachment tool off the ground.When the carrier is
rolled all the way back, perform the MANDATORY
SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE (Safety chap-
ter p.10)
7. With the engine off, leave the operator’s station
and swing the lock lever completely to the right (clock-
wise as viewed from the operator’s station) to fully
engage the lock pins.
8. For attachment tool with auxiliary hydraulics, con-
nect hoses to the quick-connect connectors on the
boom nose.
Detaching
To detach attachment tool, proceed as follows:
1. Raise the boom slightly and extend it 2 to 3 feet
(0.6 m to 0.9 m) for better visibility. Lower the boom
until the attachment tool is approximately 12” (0.3 m)
off the ground.
2. Roll the carrier backward as far as it will go. Once
the carrier is rolled all the way back, perform the
MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCE-
DURE (Safety chapter p.10).
3. With the engine off, leave the operator’s station.
Manually rotate the lock lever completely to the left
(counterclockwise, as viewed from the operator’s sta-
tion) to fully retract the lock pins.
4. If the attachment tool has auxiliary hydraulics, dis-
connect the hoses from the quick-disconnects on the
boom nose.
5. Start the engine.
6. Roll the carrier forward then slowly back the
machine until the attachment is free from the carrier.
SELF-LEVELING
The machine is provided with a hydraulic self-leveling
feature. This feature is designed to keep the attachment
tool level while the boom is being raised.
WARNING
To prevent unexpected and undesired attach-
ment tool release from the boom carrier, be
sure to properly secure the quick-release lock
pins by rotating the lock lever all the way to
the right or inside.
Modifications, alterations to, or use of attach-
ment tools NOT authorized by GEHL Co. in
writing can void warranty and cause machine
damage and/or serious personal injury or
death.
