•
Some illustrations in this manual may show doors,
guards and shields open or removed for illustrative pur-
poses only. BE SURE all doors, guards and shields are
in their proper operating positions BEFORE starting the
engine to operate the machine.
•
To ensure safe operation, replace damaged or worn-out
parts with genuine Gehl service parts.
•
Gehl units are designed and intended to be used ONLY
with Gehl Company attachments or approved referral
attachments. The Gehl Company cannot be responsible
for operator safety if the unit is used with non-approved
attachments.
•
The terrain, engine speed, load carried, and abrupt con-
trol movements can affect machine stability. If misused,
any of the above factors can cause the machine to tip,
throwing the operator forward or out of the unit,
causing death of serious injury. Therefore, ALWAYS
wear the seatbelt when operating the equipment.
Operate the controls smoothly and gradually at an appro-
priate engine speed which matches the operating condi-
tions.
•
For additional stability when operating on inclines or
ramps, ALWAYS travel with the bucket and blade
towards the top of the incline.
*
DO NOT raise or lower a loaded bucket suddenly.
Abrupt movements under load can cause serious instabil-
ity.
•
NEVER attempt to bypass the keyswitch to start the
engine. Use only the jump-starting procedure detailed in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
•
NEVER use your hands to search for hydraulic fluid
leaks; use a piece of paper or cardboard. Escaping fluid
under pressure can be invisible and can penetrate the
skin and cause serious injury. If any fluid is injected
into your skin, see a doctor at once. Injected fluid MUST
be surgically removed by a doctor or gangrene may
result.
•
Do not operate too close to an excavation or ditch. BE
SURE that the surrounding ground has adequate strength
to support the weight of the machine and the load.
•
DO NOT smoke or have any spark producing equipment
in the area while filling the fuel tank or while working
on the fuel or hydraulic systems.
