913323/CP0112 26 PRINTED IN U.S.A.
Service Brake Pedal: Pressing this pedal activates
inboard hydraulic wet-disc-type brakes on all four
wheels. Separate front and rear brake systems allow
bringing the machine to a safe stop if either system
loses pressure.
Brake Fluid Reservoirs: Located under the hinged
cover on the cab floor directly in front of the seat.
Seat Positioning: The seat is mounted on rails for for-
ward and rearward repositioning, for comfort and to
accommodate the operator’s size. A spring-loaded
latch handle under the front of the seat actuates the
adjustment mechanism.
Suspension Seat Option: This option is available for
additional operator comfort. It is adjustable for a soft
or firm ride.
Seat Belt: This machine has a retractable seat belt.
Grasp the belt on the left side of the seat, pull the belt
over your lap, and insert the belt into the buckle on the
right side of the seat until you hear it lock in place.
RIGHT SIDE PANEL
These controls and indicators are used to position the
frame, boom and attachment. Graphic symbols on the
side panel indicate the control actions and effect.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when raising or extend-
ing the boom. The Telescopic Handler MUST
be level. Loaded or empty, the machine can tip
over if it is not level.
ALWAYS place the transmission in neutral,
apply the parking brake and keep the service
brakes fully applied before raising or extend-
ing the boom.
NEVER exceed the specified lift and reach
capacities of the machine, or serious machine
damage and personal injury may result. Refer
to the load charts at the operator’s station or
this manual.
If a boom circuit hose fails with the boom up,
with or without a load, shut down the machine
following the MANDATORY SAFETY SHUT-
DOWN PROCEDURE. DO NOT attempt repairs.
Instead, call your Gehl dealer for assistance.
The truss boom and winch attachment tools
should ONLY be used to lift and place loads
when the machine is in a stationary position.
Transporting suspended loads must ALWAYS
be done slowly and cautiously, with the boom
and load as low as possible. Use taglines to
restrict loads from swinging, to avoid over-
turn.
NEVER use winch for lifting or moving per-
sonnel. NEVER exceed the maximum rated
capacity of the winch (3000 lbs./1360 kg) or
exceed the load chart rating for winch appli-
cations.
DO NOT tilt the truss boom back more than
45
o
from horizontal. DO NOT attempt to use
the optional rotating carriage as a load level-
ing function. ALWAYS level the frame prior to
raising a load.
Failure to heed could result in death or seri-
ous injury.
