If prevailing temperature is 40
o
F (4
o
C) or below, it
may be necessary to use a cold weather starting aid to
start the diesel engine. For proper use of starting aids,
check instructions in the engine manual.
If the battery becomes discharged and fails to have suf-
ficient power to start the engine, jumper cables can be
used to obtain starting assistance. Refer to the jump
starting instructions in the Service chapter of this man-
ual for safe jump-start procedure.
STOPPING
The following procedure is the recommended
sequence for stopping the machine:
1. Bring the machine to full parking stop on a level
surface. AVOID parking on a slope if possible, but if
necessary, park across the slope and block the wheels.
2. Retract the boom all the way and lower the attach-
ment to the ground.
3. Place controls in neutral. Set the parking brake
lever to “ON”.
4. Idle the engine for gradual cooling. Turn the
keyswitch key to the “OFF” position to shut the engine
off. Remove the key.
5. Unlatch the seat belt. Grasp the hand holds while
climbing out of the operator’s compartment.
INITIAL OPERATION
Make sure the engine is warm and then go through the
following procedures.
Select the travel direction and the speed range mode.
Release the parking brake lever and move slowly,
while testing the steering and brakes. Stop and operate
all boom, attachment tool functions and frame level
controls checking for smooth response.
Apply the service brakes, stop the machine and move
the travel selector to the opposite direction (forward or
reverse).
Shifting to the next higher gear may be done at any
engine RPM while the machine is in motion. DO NOT
overspeed the engine when down-shifting. Allow the
machine to slow down before shifting to the next lower
gear.
PARK BRAKE
NOTE:
The park brake mechanism is NOT
designed for, NOR intended to be used as, the
primary means of stopping forward or reverse
movement of the machine. Hydraulic braking pro-
vided through the service brakes within the axles
is the primary means for stopping movement. The
axle-by-axle split brake system is the secondary
means of stopping movement.
The proper sequence for correct machine operation is
to always engage the park brake lever before shutting
off the engine; to disengage the brake ONLY after the
engine is running. In an EMERGENCY, when it
becomes necessary to STOP the movement, pull out
the park brake lever.
CHANGING ATTACHMENT TOOLS
The Telescopic Forklift boom nose will accept
Dynattach
®
system Gehl attachment tools. The
Dynattach system has a quick-release hookup and
locking mechanism for mounting framing, masonry, or
material handling type attachment tools to the boom
nose.
Attaching
To pickup the attachment tool proceed as follows:
1. Raise the boom slightly and extend it 2 to 3 feet
( 0.6 to 0.9 m) for better visibility and tilt the
Dynattach system forward.
2. Align the Dynattach system squarely with the back
of the attachment tool.
CAUTION
Be sure the area being used for test-running is
clear of spectators and obstructions. For ini-
tial operation, operate the machine with an
empty attachment tool.
WARNING
For Perkins engine with electric pre-heat, DO
NOT use ether starting aid.
