  • Page 9: Safety

    Gehl ALWAYS considers the operator’s safety when designing its machinery, and guards exposed moving parts for the operator’s protection. However, some areas cannot be guarded or shielded in order to assure proper operation.

  • Page 10: Mandatory Safety Shutdown Procedure

    To ensure safe operation, replace damaged or worn-out parts with genuine Gehl service parts. Gehl loaders are designed and intended to be used only with Gehl attach- ments and approved attachments. To avoid possible personal injury, equip- ment damage and performance problems, use only attachments that are approved for use on and within the operating capacity of the machine.
  • Page 11 During Operation Machine stability is affected by: load being carried, height of the load, machine speed, abrupt control movements and driving over uneven terrain. DISREGARDING ANY OF THESE FACTORS CAN CAUSE THE LOADER TO TIP, THROWING THE OPERATOR OUT OF THE SEAT OR LOADER, RESULTING IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

    CHAPTER 4 OPERATION Before starting the engine and operating the WARNING loader, review and comply with all safety rec- ommendations in the Safety chapter of this manual. Know how to stop the loader before starting it. Also, be sure to fasten and prop- erly adjust the seatbelt(s) and lower the operator restraint bar.

  • Page 42: Stopping The Loader

    After the engine starts, allow a five minute low idle warm-up period before oper- ating the controls. Important: If the indicator warning lamps do not go off, stop the engine and investigate the cause.

  • Page 43: Parking The Loader

    Note: The skid-steer loader is equipped with a spring-applied automatic parking brake. The parking brake is applied when the operator lifts the restraint bar, leaves the operator’s seat or shuts off the engine, or actuates the parking brake switch. Parking the Loader Park the loader away from traffic on level ground.
  • Page 44 7. After the disabled loader is started and running smoothly, have the second person remove the jumper cables [negative (-) jumper cable first] from the jumper vehicle’s battery and then from the disabled loader, while being care- ful NOT to short the two cables together. Allow sufficient time for the skid-steer loader battery to build up a charge before operating the loader or shut off the engine.
  • Page 45 Connecting Auxiliary Hydraulic Couplings Note: With the engine off, key in the ON position and the restraint bar down, the auxiliary hydraulic control can be moved to relieve any pressure in the hydraulic system. Because the auxiliary hydraulics system is controlled using pilot pres- sure stored in an accumulator, the engine must have been run recently.

    For additional vibration data, refer to ISO TR 25398. The data above indicates that Gehl skid-steer loaders, when used in a similar manner as described above, do not exceed the limit value for Whole-Body Vibra- tions, and can therefore be operated by one operator for at least 8 hours per day.

  • Page 51: Highway Travel

    Highway Travel If it becomes necessary to move the loader a long distance, use a properly rated trailer. (See Transporting the Loader on page 48.) For short distance highway travel, attach an SMV (Slow-Moving Vehicle) emblem (purchased locally) to the back of the loader.
