Servicing Safety Reminders
 ALWAYS be aware of and avoid pinch point areas
on the machine, such as wheels-to-frame, cylin-
ders-to-frame, and boom-attachment-tool-to-
frame.
 NEVER attempt to by-pass the keyswitch to start
the engine. ONLY use the jump-starting procedure
detailed in the Service and Storage chapter.
 NEVER use your hands to search for hydraulic
fluid leaks. Instead use a piece of paper or card-
board. Escaping fluid under pressure can be invis-
ible 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 gangrene may result.
 ALWAYS wear safety glasses with side shields
when striking metal against metal. In addition, it is
also recommended that a softer (chip-resistant)
material be used to cushion the blow. Failure to
heed could lead to serious injury to the eyes or
other parts of the body.
 DO NOT refill the fuel tank when the engine is
hot. Allow engine to cool down BEFORE refilling
to prevent the hot engine from igniting the fuel if it
should spill or splash.
 DO NOT smoke while filling the fuel tank, while
working on the fuel or hydraulic systems, or while
working around the battery.
 DO NOT fill the fuel tank completely. Allow room
for expansion. Maintain control of the fuel filler
nozzle when filling the tank. Use the correct fuel
grade for the operating season.
 NEVER use fuel for cleaning purposes.
 DO 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
attempting to relieve pressure and remove the radi-
ator cap. Failure to heed this warning could result
in severe burns.
 DO NOT loosen or disconnect any hydraulic lines,
hoses or fittings without first relieving hydraulic
circuit pressure. Also, be careful not to touch any
hydraulic components that have been in recent
operation, because they can be extremely hot and
can burn you!
 Avoid 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 park brake, place the equipment in a safe
position, securely block the tires and use extreme
caution.
 To ensure continued safe operation, replace dam-
aged or worn-out parts with genuine Gehl service
parts BEFORE using this equipment.
Modifications, Nameplates, Markings and
Capacities
 Modifications and additions that affect capacity or
safe operation shall not be performed without the
manufacturer’s prior written approval. Where such
authorization is granted, any applicable markings
are to be changed accordingly.
 All attachment tools MUST be marked to identify
the attachment tool and the total capacity with
attachment tool at maximum elevation with the
load laterally centered.
 ALWAYS be sure all nameplates, caution and
instruction markings are in place and legible.
Local government regulations may require specif-
ic decals, which then become the responsibility of
the owner or user to provide.
