CHAPTER 3
CONTROLS AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Become familiar with and know how to use all
safety devices and controls on the skid-steer
loader before operating it. Know how to stop loader operation before
starting it. This Gehl loader is designed and intended to be used
only with a Gehl attachment or a Gehl-approved referral attachment
or accessory. Gehl cannot be responsible for operator safety if the
loader is used with a non-approved attachment.
Guards and Shields
Whenever possible and without affecting loader operation, guards and shields are
provided to protect against potentially hazardous areas. In many places, safety
decals are also provided to warn of potential hazards and/or to display special
operating procedures.
Read and thoroughly understand all safety
decals on the loader before operating it. Do not
operate the loader unless all factory-installed guards and shields
are properly secured in place.
Operator Restraint Bar
Lower the restraint bar after entering the operator’s compartment. The restraint bar
is securely anchored to the ROPS. The restraint bar switch is wired in series with
the seat switch forming an interlock for the lift arm, tilt, drive and starter circuits
(refer to the
Safety Interlock System topic on page 18 for more information).
Never defeat the operator restraint bar or seat
switch electrically or mechanically. Always
wear your seatbelt.
