Attachment Tilt/Auxiliary Hydraulics Joystick:
To
tilt the attachment tool up, move the joystick handle
rearward; to tilt the attachment tool down, move the
joystick handle forward. When the operator tilts the
attachment tool to a desired angle, that angle will be
maintained as the boom is raised and lowered, extend-
ed and retracted, until a new angle is set.
Move the joystick handle to the left or right to operate
the additional hydraulics required on some attachment
tools.
FUNCTION INDICATORS

Located in front of the oper-
ator on the ROPS upper cross tube, this indicator

is at a safe angle for operation.
Boom Angle Indicator:
Mounted on the left side of
the outer boom, the position of the ball shows the angle
of boom elevation relative to the ground.

WARNING
Use extreme caution when raising or extend-
ing the boom. The Telescopic Handler MUST
be within safe lifting parameters as indicated
by the frame angle indicator. Loaded or empty,
this machine can tip if not level.
ALWAYS place the transmission in neutral, set
the parking brake and keep the service brake
pedal fully depressed before raising or
extending the boom.
NEVER exceed the specified lift and reach
capacities of this machine. Serious machine
damage or personal injury may result. Refer to
the load charts in the operator’s station or this
manual.
If a boom circuit hose bursts with the boom
up, with or without a load, shut down the
machine following the Mandatory Safety
Shutdown Procedure (page 8). DO NOT
attempt repairs. Call your Gehl dealer for
assistance.

WARNING
The truss boom attachment tool should ONLY
be used to lift and place loads when the
machine is in a stationary position.
Transporting suspended loads must ALWAYS
be done slowly and cautiously, with the boom
and load as low as possible. Use taglines to
restrict loads from swinging, to avoid over-
turn.
DO NOT tilt the truss boom back more than
45
o
from horizontal. Check the frame angle
indicator before raising a load.
