GENERAL MACHINE OPERATION
Check the Telescopic Handler to be sure all systems
are in good operating condition. Perform the following
steps before starting the machine for the first time each
day.
1. Check the engine oil, coolant, transmission oil
and hydraulic oil levels.
2. Make sure weekly lubrication has been done.
3. Visually inspect for leaks, broken or malfunction-
ing parts. Make sure all caps, covers and safety
shields are in place.
4. Check tires for cuts, bulges, nails, correct pres-
sure, loose wheel nuts, etc.
5. Inspect the work area. Make sure you know
where you will make load pickups, lifts, and
turns. Look over the terrain of the jobsite for
holes, obstacles, slippery surfaces, soft or deep
mud.
6. Check clearances of ramps, doorways and pas-
sage ways. Check overhead clearances if you will
travel and place loads near power or telephone
lines.
If the machine is found to be in need of repair or in any
way unsafe, or contributes to an unsafe condition, the
matter shall be reported immediately to the user’s des-
ignated authority. The machine should NOT be operat-
ed until it has been restored to a safe operating condi-
tion.
Operate the travel controls gradually and smoothly
when starting, stopping, turning and reversing the
directions.
Detaching-Dynacarrier
®
Quick-attach
System
To detach the attachment tool, proceed as follows:
1. Raise the boom slightly and extend it 2 or 3 feet
(600 to 900 mm) for better visibility. Lower the
boom until the attachment tool is approximately
12” (300 mm) off the ground.
2. Roll back the tool carrier as far as it will go. When
the tool carrier is rolled back completely, perform
the MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE (Safety chapter p. 9).
3. With the engine off, leave the operator’s station,
and rotate the lock lever completely to the left
(counter-clockwise, as viewed from the operator’s
station) to fully retract the lock pins.
4. If the attachment tool has auxiliary hydraulics,
disconnect the hoses from the quick-connects on
the boom nose.
5. Start the engine and tilt the tool carrier forward.
Slowly back the machine until the attachment tool
is free from the boom carrier.
SELF-LEVELING
The machine has a hydraulic self-leveling feature. This
feature is designed to keep the attachment tool level
while the boom is being raised.
WARNING
Exhaust fumes can kill. Ensure proper ventila-
tion when starting indoors or in enclosed
areas.
Use proper grab handles, NOT the steering
wheel or control levers as handholds when
mounting or dismounting.
NEVER operate the machine with safety
guards or covers removed.
Over-inflated tires can explode and cause
injury or death. Tire repairs MUST be made
only by authorized personnel using proper
tools and equipment.
WARNING
To prevent unexpected and undesired attach-
ment tool release from the boom carrier, be
sure to properly secure the quick-release lock
pins by rotating the lock lever all the way to
the right or inside.
Modifications, alterations to, or use of attach-
ment tools not authorized by Gehl Company
can void the warranty and cause machine
damage, and may result in serious personal
injury or death.
