THEFT DETERRENTS
GEHL has recorded all part numbers and serial num-
bers. Users should take as many of the following
actions as possible to discourage theft, to aid in the
recovery in the event that the machine is stolen, and to
reduce vandalism:
1. Remove keys from unattended machines.
2. Attach, secure, and lock all anti-vandalism and
anti-theft devices on the machine.
3. Lock doors of cabs when not in use.
4. Inspect the gates and fences of the vehicle storage
yard. If possible, keep machines in well lighted areas.
Ask the law enforcement agency having jurisdiction to
make frequent checks around the storage or work sites,
especially at night, during weekends, or on holidays.
5. Report any theft to the dealer and insurance com-
pany. Provide the model, and all serial numbers.
Request that your dealer forward this same information

Ramp Placement
WARNING
NEVER adjust travel direction (even slightly)
while traveling on the ramps. Instead, back
down off the ramps, and then realign the
machine with the ramps.
WARNING
NEVER transport the machine with the boom
raised or extended. BE SURE to secure the
machine (including boom) to the truck or trail-
er bed using chain and binders or steel cables
to prevent any movement while transporting.
