6. After the engine starts, allow a sufficient warm-up
time before operating the controls.
7. Check that indicators are in normal condition.
8. Check that there are no fuel, oil or engine coolant
leaks, and no abnormal noises or vibrations.
COLD STARTING
A optional block heater is recommended for starting in
temperatures of 20
o
F (-7
o
C) or lower.
The block heater should be connected to an AC power
supply several hours prior to starting the engine
depending on the ambient temperature.
If the battery becomes discharged and does not have
sufficient power to start the engine, jumper cables can
be used for starting assistance. Refer to the jump start-
ing instructions in the
Service and Storage chapter of
this manual for safe jump starting procedures.
STOPPING
The following procedure is the recommended
sequence for stopping the machine:
1. Bring the machine to a stop on a level surface.
Avoid parking on a slope, but if necessary, park
across the slope and block the tires.
2. Fully retract the boom and lower the attachment to
the ground. Idle the engine for 5 minutes to allow
engine components to cool slightly before shutting
the engine down.
3. Place controls in neutral. Apply the parking brake.
4. Turn the ignition switch key to the “OFF” position.
Remove the key.
5. Unfasten the seatbelt, and grasp the hand holds
while climbing out of the operator’s compartment.
FIRST TIME OPERATION
Make sure the engine is warm and then go through the
following procedures:
Select the travel direction. Switch off the parking brake
and move ahead slowly, while testing the steering and
brakes. Stop and operate all boom and attachment tool
function controls, checking for smooth response.
Apply the service brakes, stop the machine and move
the travel lever to the opposite direction.
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the trans-
mission, the Telescopic Handler should be travel-
ing at a slow speed and not accelerating when
changing the direction of travel.
EXHAUST FILTER CLEANING SYSTEM
The engine is equipped with an exhaust filter in place
of a muffler. This filter is located to the front of the
engine under the engine cover. This exhaust filter
reduces carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and particu-
late matter from the exhaust stream. Trapped particles
are eventually oxidized through a process known as
regeneration or exhaust filter cleaning.
Under normal machine operation and with the system
in AUTO mode, the exhaust filter requires minimal
operator interaction.
To avoid unnecessary buildup of diesel particles or
soot in the exhaust filter system;
1. Utilize the Automatic (AUTO) Exhaust Filter
Cleaning mode.
2. Avoid unnecessary idling.
3. Use the proper engine oil. See Lubrication chap-
ter of this manual or the engine maual for proper
engine oil specifications.
4. Use only ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel. See
Lubrication chapter of this maual or the engine
manual for fuel requirements.
Even with proper maintenance, ash and soot will build
up in the exhaust filter after several thousand hours of
operation and require service. This service will need to
be performed by a authorized Gehl dealer.
Automatic (AUTO) Exhaust Filter Cleaning
Operating the engine in AUTO Mode allows the ECU
to perform intelligent exhaust cleaning as required.
CAUTION
Be sure the area used for test-running is clear
of spectators and obstructions. Initially, oper-
ate the machine with an empty attachment
tool.
WARNING
Do not use starting fluid (ether) with engine
preheat systems. An explosion can result,
which can cause engine damage, injury or
death.
