See your local automotive glass specialist to reinstall the window.
Lift Arm Support Device
The lift arm support device is used as a cylinder lock to prevent the raised lift arm
from lowering unexpectedly. Be sure to install the support device when the lift
arm is raised for service. When the support device is not being used, return it to
its storage position. The support device is a safety device, which must be kept in
proper operating condition at all times. The following steps ensure correct usage:
With the key switch OFF and the solenoid valve
working properly, the lift arm will stay raised when the
lift control is moved to lower the lift arm. If the valve does not hold the lift am
and it begins to lower do not leave the operator’s compartment. Instead, lower
the lift arm and exit the machine. Then, contact your Gehl dealer immediately to
determine why the lift arm lowers while the key switch is OFF.
Installation
To install the lift arm support device:
1. Raise the lift arm to full height.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Move the lift arm control to “lower”
to verify that the lift arm is being held
in the raised position by the safety
interlock system.
4. Have an assistant remove the lift arm
support device from its storage loca-
tion (Figure 4) on the right side of the
machine and install the lift arm sup-
port device on the left lift cylinder
(Figure 3).
A) Or if an assistant is not available,
double-check that the lift arm is being held in the raised position, and then
carefully exit the machine, and install the lift arm support device on the left
lift cylinder (Figure 3).
