Choose a clean, level work area. Be sure there is suffi-
cient room, clearances, and adequate ventilation. Clean
the walking and working surfaces. Remove oil, grease
and water to eliminate slippery areas. Use sand or oil
absorbing compound, as necessary, while servicing the
Telescopic Handler.
Before starting inspection and repair, move the
machine onto a level surface, shut down engine, and
release all hydraulic pressure. Always block the boom
securely, or lower it to full ground contact. Place all
controls in neutral.
Block the tires. Remove the ignition key. Remove only
guards or covers that provide needed access. Wipe
away excess grease and oil.
Excessively worn or damaged parts can fail and cause
injury or death. Replace any cracked or damaged parts.
Use only genuine Gehl parts for service.
Use care not to damage machined and polished sur-
faces. Clean or replace all plates and decals that are
damaged or painted over and cannot be read.
After servicing, check the work performed, that no
parts are left over, etc. Install all guards and covers.
CHECKING FUEL TANK LEVEL
The fuel level is shown by the fuel level gauge on the
instrument panel. After operation each day, the fuel
tank should be filled to prevent water from condensing
in the tank. To fill, remove the filler cap and add fuel.
See the Lubrication chapter for the diesel fuel require-
ments.
CHECKING FUEL FILTER
NOTE: The fuel filter will require occasional
replacement to maintain a clean and adequate
fuel flow for maximum engine horsepower. The
frequency of filter replacement will be determined
by the cleanliness of available fuel, the care used
in storing fuel supplies, and the operating condi-
tions in which the machine is used.
WARNING
DO NOT smoke or allow any open flames in
the area while checking or servicing
hydraulic, battery or fuel systems; all contain
highly flammable liquids or explosive gases,
which can cause an explosion or fire if ignited.
Wear a face shield when disassembling
spring-loaded components or working with
battery acid. Wear a helmet or goggles with
special lenses when welding or cutting with a
torch.
When working beneath a raised machine,
always use blocks, jack-stands or other rigid
and stable supports. Wear appropriate protec-
tive clothing, gloves, and shoes. Keep feet,
clothing, hands and hair away from moving
parts.
Always wear safety glasses or goggles for eye
protection from electric arcs from shorts, flu-
ids under pressure, and flying debris or loose
material when the engine is running or tools
are used for grinding or pounding.
NEVER weld on bucket, forks, boom, support
frame or ROPS/FOPS without the consent of
the manufacturer. These components may be
made with metals that require special welding
techniques, or with designs that do not allow
weld repairs. NEVER cut or weld on fuel lines
or tanks.
If repair welding is ever required, BE SURE to
attach the ground (-) cable from the welder as
close as possible to the area to be repaired.
Also, remove positive (+) battery terminal con-
nection before welding.
Service Every 10 Hours or Daily
WARNING
NEVER leave guards off or access doors open
when the machine is unattended. Keep
bystanders away if access doors are open.
