SAFETY
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. It is essential that opera-
tors be physically and mentally free of mind alter-
ing drugs and chemicals.
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 operating
positions BEFORE starting the engine to operate
the machine.
ÂAny or all of the following elements can affect the
stability of the machine: The terrain, the engine
PRINTED IN U.S.A. 11 907879/AP1198
speed, the type of load being carried and placed,
and the abrupt movement of any control lever. IF
YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL WHILE OPERAT-
ING THIS MACHINE, ANY OF THE ABOVE
FACTORS COULD CAUSE THE MACHINE
TO TIP AND THROW YOU OUT OF THE
OPERATOR’S STATION, WHICH MAY
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!
ÂALWAYS wear the seat belt to prevent being
thrown from the machine. If you are in an over-
turn:
- DO NOT jump!
- Hold on tight and stay with the machine!
- Lean away from the fall!
ÂALWAYS keep hands, feet and arms inside of the
operator’s station when operating the machine!
ÂALWAYS wear appropriate personal protective
equipment called for by the job and working con-
ditions. Hard hats, protective glasses, protective
shoes, gloves, reflector type vests, respirators and
ear protection are examples of types of equipment
that may be required. DO NOT wear loose or
baggy clothing, long hair, jewelry or loose person-
al items while operating or servicing the machine.
ÂALWAYS be aware of pinch point areas on the
machine such as wheels-to-frame, cylinders-to-
frame, boom and attachment tool-to-frame, etc.
ÂALWAYS maintain safe clearance from electrical
power lines and avoid contact with any electrical-
ly charged conductor. Contact can result in electro-
cution. Contact proper local authorities for utility
line location BEFORE starting a job.
ÂALWAYS check the job site for terrain hazards,
obstructions and people. Remove all objects which
do not belong in or on the machine and its equip-
ment.
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 knowl-
edge, training and experience to train and
evaluate operators.
Courtesy of CraneMarket.com
ÂWalk around the machine and warn all personnel
who may be servicing the machine or are in the
machine’s path prior to starting. DO NOT start
until all personnel are away from the machine.
ÂALWAYS use the recommended hand holds and
steps with at least three points of support when get-
ting on and off the machine. Keep steps and plat-
form clean. Face the access system when climbing
up and down.
ÂNEVER attempt to by-pass the keyswitch to start
the engine. ONLY use the jump-starting procedure
detailed in the SERVICE & STORAGE chapter.
DO NOT bypass the machine’s neutral-start sys-
tem. The neutral-start system must be repaired if it
malfunctions.
ÂNEVER use your hands to search for hydraulic
fluid leaks. Use a piece of paper or cardboard.
Escaping fluid under pressure can be invisible and
can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. If any
fluid is injected into your skin, see a doctor at
once. Injected fluid MUST be surgically removed
by a doctor familiar with this type of injury or gan-
grene may result.
ÂDO NOT exceed the machine’s rated operating
capacity for the type of attachment tool being used.
ÂDO NOT allow minors or unqualified personnel to
operate or be near the machine unless properly
supervised; this is strictly a single seat, NO pas-
senger machine!
ÂDO NOT start the engine or operate any controls
unless properly seated in the operator’s seat!
ÂDO NOT run the engine in an enclosed area with-
out providing proper ventilation for the exhaust.
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an odor-
less and deadly gas. Internal combustion engines
deplete the oxygen supply within enclosed spaces
and may create a serious hazard unless the oxygen
is replaced. This includes the atmosphere within
the cab when provided.
ÂDO NOT leave the operator’s station with the
boom and attachment tool raised. ALWAYS lower
the boom and attachment tool to the ground, shut
off the engine and engage the parking brake
BEFORE leaving the operator’s station.
ÂDO NOT refill the fuel tank when the engine is
hot. Allow engine to cool down BEFORE refilling
to prevent hot engine from igniting the fuel if it
should spill or splash.
ÂDO NOT smoke while filling the fuel tank, while
working on the fuel or hydraulic systems, or while
working around the battery.
ÂDO NOT drive too close to an excavation or ditch.
BE SURE that the surrounding ground has ade-
quate strength to support the weight of the machine
and the load it is carrying.
ÂDO NOT turn quickly while traveling on a slope or
operate the machine beyond the grade and slope
limits noted in the OPERATION & ADJUST-
MENT chapter of the Operator’s Manual.
ÂIf necessary to park on a grade, park across the
slope and block the wheels.
ÂDO NOT fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow room
for expansion. Maintain control of the fuel filler
nozzle when filling the tank. Use the correct fuel
grade for the operating season.
ÂNEVER use fuel for cleaning purposes.
ÂDO NOT remove the radiator cap after the engine
has reached operating temperature or if it is over-
heated. At operating temperatures, the engine
coolant will be extremely HOT and under pressure.
ALWAYS wait for the engine to cool down before
907879/AP1198 12 PRINTED IN U.S.A.

attempting to relieve pressure and remove the radi-
ator cap. Failure to heed this warning could result
in severe burns.
ÂDO NOT attempt to loosen or disconnect any
hydraulic lines, hoses or fittings without first
relieving hydraulic circuit pressure. Also, be care-
ful not to touch any hydraulic components that
have been in recent operation because they can be
extremely hot and can burn you!
ÂAvoid lubrication or mechanical adjustments with
the machine in motion or the engine operating. If
the engine must be in operation to make certain
adjustments, place the transmission in neutral,
apply the parking brake, place the equipment in a
safe position, securely block the wheels and use
extreme caution.
ÂNEVER allow any riders on this machine or use as
a lift for personnel.
ÂTo insure continued safe operation, replace dam-
aged or worn-out parts with genuine GEHL service
parts, before using this equipment.
ÂWhen road travel is required, know and use the
signaling devices required on the machine. Provide
an escort when required.
Modifications, Nameplates, Markings
and Capacities
ÂModifications and additions that affect capacity or
safe operation shall NOT be performed without the
manufacturer’s prior written approval. Where such
authorization is granted, tags or decals shall be
changed accordingly.
ÂAll attachment tools MUST be marked to identify
the attachment tool and the total capacity with
attachment tool at maximum elevation with load
laterally centered.
ÂALWAYS make sure all nameplates, caution and
instruction markings are in place and legible.
Local government regulations may require local
decals, which then become the responsibility of the
local owner to provide.
ÂStudy the load chart carefully. It shows maximum
capacity to be lifted and placed at specific outward
and upward distances. ALWAYS be aware of load
weights prior to attempting lift and placement with
this machine.
Protective Guards and Warning
Devices
ÂThis machine is fitted with an overhead guard in
accordance with industry standards. It is intended
to offer protection to the operator from falling
objects, but cannot protect against every possible
impact. Therefore, it should not be considered a
substitute for good judgment and care in operating
the machine.
ÂThis machine is equipped with a horn and backup
alarm. The user shall determine if operating condi-
tions require the machine to be equipped with
additional devices (mirrors, rotating beacon, etc.)
and be responsible for providing and maintaining
such devices.
ÂDO NOT modify the ROPS in any manner.
Unauthorized modifications such as welding,
drilling, cutting or adding components can weaken
the structure and reduce its protective ability. If a
ROPS is subjected to roll-over or other damage it
must be replaced. DO NOT attempt to repair a
ROPS.
