CHECKING PERSONNEL WORK
PLATFORM (PWP) SYSTEM (if used)
CHECKING WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE
On NEW machines, or anytime a wheel has been
removed, re-torque wheel nuts until 450 ft.-lbs. (610
Nm) is maintained.
CHECKING INSTRUMENTS OPERATION
Allow the engine to warm up for about five minutes
before beginning operation. Indicator lamps should be
off and gauges should register normal readings. Tilt the
frame from side to side with the frame leveling control
and note the frame angle indicator movement.
CHECKING GENERAL MACHINE OPERA-
TION AND CONDITION
Are any decals missing or damaged? Are all guards,
shields and covers in place? Do all controls function
smoothly and properly? Are there any abnormal vibra-
WARNING
Manufacturers of push-pull control cables
advise taking the following operation and
maintenance precautions:
Do not adjust the control cable with the engine
running.
A gradual or sudden increase in the no-load
friction (cable disconnected at both ends) of a
control cable is an indication of a pending or
present performance problem. The control
cable should be replaced.
A gradual or sudden decrease in the useable
travel is a indication of a pending or present
performance problem. The cable should be
replaced.
Control cables that have moisture inside of
them or have frozen should be replaced. Do
not apply heat to dry or thaw control cables.
Control cables are lubricated for the life of the
control cable. Do not remove the seals or
lubricate control cables.
Control cables are designed to be non-
repairable. Do not attempt to repair control
cables.
Failure to heed could result in death or seri-
ous injury.
WARNING
If the PWP System fails to operate properly
during any of the System checks, DO NOT
USE the machine until the cause has been cor-
rected. Contact your dealer (or Gehl
Company) for service information and parts.
WARNING
Inflating or servicing tires can be dangerous.
Whenever possible trained personnel should
service and mount tires. To avoid possible
death or serious injury, follow these safety
precautions:
1. BE SURE the rim is clean and free of rust.
2. Lubricate both the tire beads and rim
flanges with a soap solution. DO NOT use
oil or grease.
3. DO NOT place fingers on the tire bead or
rim during inflation. Use a clip-on tire
chuck with a remote hose and gauge,
which allows standing clear of the tire
while inflating it.
4. NEVER inflate beyond 35 psi (240 kPa) to
seat the beads. If the beads have not seat-
ed by the time the pressure reaches 35
psi, deflate the assembly, reposition the
tire on the rim, relubricate both parts and
re-inflate. Inflation pressure beyond 35 psi
with unseated beads may break the bead
or rim with explosive force sufficient to
cause death or serious injury.
5. After seating the beads, adjust the infla-
tion pressure to the recommended oper-
ating pressure listed.
6. DO NOT weld, braze, or otherwise attempt
to repair and use a damaged rim.
