● DO NOT start or operate the machine until you have read and understood the Operator’s Manual. You must
become familiar with all operating controls, instruments and procedures before attempting operation or repair.
● If a service problem requires troubleshooting the machine under actual job site working conditions, unless you
are totally familiar with the machine controls and operating procedures, have an experienced operator assist
you.
● Always perform the Mandatory Safety Shutdown Procedure and relieve hydraulic circuit pressure before
loosening or removing any hydraulic fittings or lines.
● If hydraulic cylinder repair is required, NEVER use pneumatic or hydraulic pressure to aid in cylinder
disassembly.
● Always disconnect the battery before working on the electrical system.
● DO NOT start the machine from any position other than seated in the operator’s seat.
● If replacement parts are required, DO NOT use unauthorized parts or substitute materials. Use only Gehl
Company approved parts.

with various regulations and safety requirements. Unauthorized modifications can cause serious injury or

WARNING
U.S. OSHA regulations require employers in
general industry and the construction,
shipyard and cargo-handling industries
(excepting agricultural operations) to ensure
that forklift operators are competent, as
demonstrated by successful completion of a
training course.
The training course must consist of
acombination of formal instruction and
practical training, including both forklift-
related and workplace-related topics, and
evaluation of the operator’s performance in
the workplace.
All operator training and evaluation is to be
conducted by persons who have the
knowledge, training and experience to train
and evaluate operators.
