INTRODUCTION
The information in this Operator’s Manual was written to give the owner/operator assistance in preparing, adjust-
ing, maintaining and servicing of the Telescopic Handler. More important, this manual provides an operating plan
for safe and proper use of the machine. Major points of safe operation are detailed in the SAFETY chapter of this
manual.
GEHL Company asks that you read and understand the contents of this manual
COMPLETELY and become familiar with the machine before operating it.
The use of this Telescopic Handler is subject to certain hazards that cannot be eliminated by mechanical means,
but only by the exercise of intelligence, care and common sense. It is therefore essential to have competent and
careful operators, who are not physically or mentally impaired, and who are thoroughly trained in the safe opera-
tion of the equipment and the handling of the loads.
Throughout this manual information is provided that is set in italic type and introduced by the word IMPORTANT
or NOTE. Be sure to read carefully and comply with the message or directive given. Following this information
will improve operating and maintenance efficiency, help to avoid breakdowns and damage, and extend the
machine’s life. A chart of standard hardware torques is located in the back of this manual.
A storage area is provided on the unit for storing the Operator’s Manual. After using the manual, please return it
to the storage area and keep it with the unit at all times! If this machine is resold, GEHL Company recommends
that this manual be given to the new owner.
If this machine was purchased "used," or if the owner's address has changed, please provide your GEHL dealer or
GEHL Company Service Department with the owner's name and current address, along with the machine model
and serial number. This will allow the registered owner information to be updated, so that the owner can be noti-
fied directly in case of an important product issue, such as a safety update program.
“Right” and “left” are determined from a position sitting on the seat and facing forward.
Our wide dealership network stands ready to provide any assistance needed, including genuine GEHL service
parts. All parts should be obtained from or ordered through your GEHL dealer. Give complete information about
the part and include the model and serial number of the machine. Record the serial number in the space provided
on page 4 as a handy record for quick reference.
GEHL Company reserves the right to make changes or improvements in the design or construction of any part
without incurring the obligation to install such changes on any unit previously delivered.
GEHL Company, in cooperation with the Society of Automotive
Engineers, has adopted this
Safety Alert Symbol
to identify potential safety hazards, which, if not properly avoided,
could result in injury. When you see this symbol in this manual or on
the machine itself, you are reminded to BE ALERT! Your personal safe-
ty is involved!

SAFETY
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Before operating this equipment, read and
study the following safety information. In
addition, be sure that everyone who operates
or works with this equipment, is familiar with
these safety precautions.
WHENEVER YOU SEE THIS SYMBOL:
IT MEANS: WARNING! BE CAREFUL!
YOUR SAFETY OR THE SAFETY OF
THE TELESCOPIC HANDLER IS AT
RISK.
GEHL Company has ensured that this telescopic han-
dler is suitable for use under normal operating condi-
tions defined in this Operator's Manual and in accor-
dance with safety standard ANSI/ITSDF B56.6.
Before using the telescopic handler, the owner must
make sure that the telescopic handler is appropriate for
the work to be done.
In addition to standard equipment mounted on the tele-
scopic handler, many options are available, such as:
flashing lights, front lights, rear lights, and lights on
the boom.
The operator must take into account the operating con-
ditions to determine the necessary signalling and light-
ing equipment. Contact your dealer for information.
GEHL Company always takes the operator’s safety
into consideration when designing its machinery, and
guards exposed moving parts for his/her protection.
However, some areas cannot be guarded in order to
assure proper operation. Further, this Operator’s
Manual and decals on the machine warn of additional
hazards and should be read and observed closely.
It is the owner’s responsibility for communicating
information on the safe use and proper maintenance of
this machine! This includes providing understandable
interpretations of these instructions to operators who
are not fluent in reading English.
It is the responsibility of the operator to read and
understand the Operator’s Manual and other informa-
tion provided, and to use correct operating procedures.
Machines should be operated only by qualified opera-
tors.
WARNING
The risk of accident while using, servicing and
repairing the telescopic handler can be mini-
mized by following the safety warnings and
instructions detailed in this manual.
DANGER
“DANGER” indicates an imminently haz-
ardous situation, which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
“WARNING” indicates a potentially hazardous
situation, which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION
“CAUTION” indicates a potentially hazardous
situation, which, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury. It may also alert
users to unsafe practices.

MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
BEFORE cleaning, adjusting, lubricating or
servicing the unit:
1. Stop machine 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 tool to the ground. Idle engine
for gradual cooling.
3. Place controls in neutral and apply parking
brake.
4. Shut off the engine and remove the key.
ONLY when you have taken these precautions
can you be sure it is safe to proceed. Failure
to follow the above procedure could lead to
death or serious bodily injury.
Additional Safety Reminders
ÂUser/operator safety practices, as established by
industry standards, are included in this Operator’s
Manual and intended to promote safe operation of
the machine. These guidelines do not, of course,
preclude the use of good judgment, care and com-
mon sense, as may be indicated by the particular
jobsite work conditions.
ÂIt is essential that operators be physically and men-
tally free of mind-altering drugs and chemicals,
and thoroughly trained in the safe operation of the
machine. Such training should be presented com-
pletely to all new operators and not condensed for
those claiming previous experience. Information
on operator training is available from several
sources, including the manufacturer.
WARNING
U.S. OSHA regulations require employers in
general industry and the construction, ship-
yard and cargo-handling industries (excepting
agricultural operations) to ensure that forklift
operators are competent, as demonstrated by
successful completion of a training course.
The training course must consist of a combi-
nation of formal instruction and practical
training, including both forklift-related and
workplace-related topics, and evaluation of
the operator’s performance in the workplace.
All operator training and evaluation is to be
conducted by persons who have the know-
ledge, training and experience to train and
evaluate operators.
WARNING
The telescopic handler is designed for out-
door use under normal atmospheric condi-
tions, and indoor use in suitably ventilated
premises.
It is prohibited to use the telescopic handler in
areas where there is a risk of fire or potential-
ly explosive materials (e.g., refineries, fuel or
gas depots, stores of flammable products).
For use in these areas, specificly approved
equipment is available. (Ask your dealer for
information.)
WARNING
ALWAYS maintain a safe distance from elec-
tric power lines and avoid contact with any
electrically charged conductor or gas line. It is
not necessary to make direct contact with a
power line for power to ground through the
structure of the machine. Keep the boom at
least 10 ft. (3 m) from all power lines.
Accidental contact or rupture can result in
electrocution or an explosion. Contact the
“Call Before You Dig” referral system number
at 8-1-1 in the U.S., or 888-258-0808 in the U.S.
and Canada, to locate any underground utility
lines BEFORE starting to dig.

ÂSome illustrations used in this manual may show
doors, guards and shields open or removed for
illustration purposes ONLY. BE SURE that all
doors, guards and shields are in their proper oper-
ating positions before starting the engine.
ÂFor the safety of the operator and others, do not
change the structure or settings of the various com-
ponents used in the telescopic handler (hydraulic
pressure, calibrating limits, engine speed, addition
of extra equipment, addition of counterweight,
unapproved attachments, alarm systems, etc.). In
this event, the manufacturer cannot be held respon-
sible.
ÂThe operator must keep the telescopic handler
properly cleaned.
ÂRead the operator's manual carefully.
ÂThe operator's manual must always be in good
condition and in the place provided for it on the
telescopic handler.
Before Operation Safety Reminders
ÂCheck brakes, steering, and hydraulic system prior
to starting operation. Operate all controls to ensure
proper operation. Observe all gauges and indica-
tors for proper operation. If any malfunctions are
found, correct the cause prior to using the machine.
ÂALWAYS wear appropriate personal protective
equipment for the job and working conditions.
Hard hats, goggles, protective shoes, gloves,
reflector-type vests, respirators and ear protection
are examples of types of equipment that may be
required. DO NOT wear loose-fitting clothing,
long hair, jewelry or loose personal items while
operating or servicing the machine.
ÂALWAYS check the job site for terrain hazards,
obstructions and people. Remove all objects that
do not belong in or on the machine and its equip-
ment.
ÂWalk around the machine and warn all personnel
who may be servicing the machine or who are in
the machine’s path prior to starting. DO NOT start
until all personnel are clearly away from the
machine.
ÂThe operator must immediately advise his supervi-
sor if the telescopic handler is not in good working
condition.
ÂThe operator must carry out daily maintenance
(see chapter: 6 - MAINTENANCE: A - DAILY
OR EVERY 10 HOURS SERVICE) if this is
among his responsibilities.
Operation Safety Reminders
ÂAny or all of the following elements may affect the
stability of the machine: terrain, engine speed, type
of load being carried and placed, improper tire
inflation, weight of the attachment tool, and abrupt
movement of any control lever. IF YOU ARE NOT
CAREFUL WHILE OPERATING THIS
MACHINE, ANY OF THE ABOVE FACTORS
COULD CAUSE THE MACHINE TO TIP AND
THROW YOU OUT OF THE OPERATOR’S
STATION, WHICH MAY CAUSE SERIOUS
BODILY INJURY OR DEATH!
ÂALWAYS wear the seat belt provided to prevent
being thrown from the machine. If you are in an
overturn:
- DO NOT jump!
- Hold on tight and stay with the machine!
- Lean away from the fall!
ÂALWAYS use the recommended hand holds and
steps with at least three points of support when get-
WARNING
There are a number of possible situations in
which operating the telescopic handler is not
allowed. Such abnormal uses are strictly for-
bidden. For example:
- Abnormal behavior resulting from careless-
ness.
- Behavior resulting from “doing it the easy
way” when performing a task.
- Operation by such persons as: teenagers,
handicapped persons, trainees tempted to
drive a telescopic handler, and operators
tempted to operate in a manner to win a bet, in
competition or for their own personal experi-
ence.
The person in charge of the equipment must
take these possibilities into account when
assessing whether or not a person will make a
suitable operator.
