913225/CP0807 28 PRINTED IN U.S.A.
 The authorized maximum trailer weight must not
exceed the maximum weight authorized by the
manufacturer (consult the manufacturer’s plate on
the telescopic handler).
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING A
LOAD
K - CHOICE OF ATTACHMENTS
 Only attachments approved by GEHL can be used
on GEHL telescopic handlers.
 Make sure the attachment is appropriate for the
work to be done (see chapter: 7 - ATTACH-
MENTS).
 Make sure the attachment is correctly installed and
locked onto the carriage.
 Make sure that the attachments work properly.
 Comply with the load chart limits for the attach-
ment used.
 Do not exceed the rated capacity of the attachment.
 Never lift a load in a sling without the proper
attachment for the purpose.
L - MASS AND CENTER-OF-GRAVITY
OF LOAD
 Before picking up a load, you must know its
weight and its center-of-gravity.
 The load chart for your telescopic handler is valid
for a load in which the longitudinal position of the
load center is 24” (610 mm) forward of the base of
the forks (fig. L1). For different load centers, con-
tact your dealer.
 For irregular loads, determine the side to side cen-
ter-of-gravity before any movement (fig. L2) and
set it on the longitudinal axis of the telescopic han-
dler.
M - TRANSVERSE ATTITUDE OF THE
TELESCOPIC HANDLER
The transverse (side-to-side) attitude is the angle of the
chassis with respect to horizontal.
Raising the boom reduces the telescopic handler's lat-
eral stability.
 Position the telescopic handler so that the bubble
in the inclinometer is between the two lines (see
chapter: 5 - INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS:
33 - INCLINOMETER).
WARNING
DO NOT move a load heavier than the tele-
scopic handler’s rated capacity as listed on
the load charts.
WARNING
For loads with a moving center-of-gravity
(e.g., liquids), take into account the movement
of the center-of-gravity to determine the load
that can be safely handled. Be vigilant and
take extra care to limit these movements as
much as possible.
