Page: 10 / 82

“CAUTION” indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided may result in minor or moderate
injury. May also alert against unsafe practices.
Mandatory Safety Shutdown Procedure
Before cleaning, adjusting, lubricating, servicing the unit or leaving it
unattended:
1. Move the drive control handle(s) to the “neutral” position.
2. Lower the lift arm and attachment completely. If the lift arm must be left
in the “raised” position,
BE SURE
to properly engage the lift arm support
device (page 18).
3.
Move the throttle to the low idle position, shut off the engine and remove
the key.
4. Before exiting, move the lift/tilt control(s) to verify that the controls do
not cause movement of the lift arm and hitch.
Safety Reminders
Before Starting
Ü
Do not modify the ROPS/FOPS unless instructed to do so in installation
instructions. Modifications such as welding, drilling or cutting can weaken
the structure and reduce the protection it provides. A damaged
ROPS/FOPS cannot be repaired — it must be replaced.
Ü
To ensure safe operation, replace damaged or worn-out parts with genuine
Gehl service parts.
Ü
Gehl skid steer loaders are designed and intended to be used only with Gehl
attachments or approved referral attachments. Gehl cannot be responsible
for operator safety if the loader is used with a non-approved attachment.
Ü
Remove all trash and debris from the machine each day, especially in the
engine compartment, to minimize the risk of fire.
Ü
Always face the loader and use the hand holds and steps when getting on
and off the loader. Do not jump off the loader.
Ü
Never use starting fluid (ether).
Ü
Walk around the machine and warn all nearby personnel before starting the
machine.
Ü
Always perform a daily inspection of the machine before using it. Look for
damage, loose or missing parts, leaks, etc.
