INTRODUCTION
This Operator’s Manual provides information about
maintaining and servicing the DM1162 and DM1165
disc mowers. 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.
Please read and understand the contents of this manual
completely and become familiar with the machine
before operating it. See your authorized Gehl dealer
with any questions concerning information in the
manual, for additional manuals or for information
concerning availability of manuals in other languages.
Throughout this manual, information is provided that is
set in italic type and introduced by the word NOTE or
IMPORTANT. BE SURE to read carefully and comply
with the message — it will improve operating and
maintenance efficiency, help avoid breakdowns or
damage, and extend machine life.
This Operator’s Manual and an AEM Safety Manual are
provided with the machine. These manuals should stay
with the machine at all times, and should remain with
the machine if it is resold.
If the machine was purchased used, or if the owner’s
address has changed, please provide the Gehl dealer or
Gehl Company Service Department with the current
owner’s name and address, along with the machine
model and serial number. This will allow the owner to
be notified directly in case of an important product
issue, such as a safety update program.

DO NOT use the machine for any applications or

Before using the machine with special attachments
other than those approved by Gehl, consult your Gehl
dealer. Any person using non-approved attachments is
responsible for the consequences.
The Gehl dealership network stands ready to provide
any assistance that may be required, including provid-
ing genuine Gehl service parts. All service parts should
be obtained from a Gehl dealer. Give complete informa-
tion about the part and include the model and serial
numbers of machine. Record the serial number in the
space provided above, for quick reference.
The model number and serial number for the machine
are on a plate located on a gusset on the main frame.
“Right” and “left” are determined from a position
standing behind the unit and facing the direction of
travel. From this position, the support leg is on the “left”
side.
Gehl Company strives to continuously improve its
products and reserves the right to make changes and
improvements in the design and construction of any part
without incurring the obligation to install such changes
on any machine previously delivered.
