Speed Range: Twisting the lever end clockwise or
counter-clockwise will change the transmission speed
between low, medium and travel ranges.
Position “3” (TRAVEL RANGE)
Position “2” (MEDIUM RANGE)
Position “1” (LOW RANGE)
IMPORTANT: Care should be taken when down-
shifting or changing direction, because damage to
the transmission can occur if shifting is forced or
attempted at too high a speed. Allow engine
speed to slow before any downshift or directional
change is attempted.
Steering
The power steering system is designed to provide low
effort steering without shock reaction from the axle
wheels to the steering wheel. Turn the steering wheel
to the right or left to turn the machine in that direction.
FLOOR AND SEAT AREA
Throttle Pedal: This is right-foot operated and con-
trols the engine RPM to match increased power
requirements. Pushing down on the pedal increases
engine speed; letting up on the pedal decreases engine
speed.
Service Brake Pedal: Depressing 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 to accommodate
operator’s size. A spring-loaded latch handle under the
front of the seat activates the adjustment mechanism.
Suspension Seat Option: This option is avalable for
addtional operator comfort. It is adjustable for a soft or
firm ride.
RIGHT SIDE PANEL
These controls and indicators are used to position the
frame, boom, attachment and outriggers. Graphic sym-
bols on the side panel illustrate the control actions.
This machine is equipped with one of two types of
boom and attachment joystick control configurations.
One being a two joystick configuration and the other is
a single tri-function joystick.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when raising or extend-
ing the boom. The Telescopic Handler MUST
be level. Loaded or empty, this machine can
tip if not level.
ALWAYS place the transmission in neutral, set
the parking brake and keep the service brakes
fully applied before raising or extending the
boom.
NEVER exceed the specified lifting and
extending capacities of this machine. Serious
machine damage or personal injury may
result. Refer to the load charts in the opera-
tor’s station or this manual.
If a boom circuit hose should burst with the
boom up, with or without a load, shut down
the machine following the MANDATORY
SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE (page 8).
DO NOT attempt repairs. 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.
DO NOT use to transport loads around the job-
site. This can cause the load to swing, result-
ing in either load dropping or machine tipover.
NEVER use winch for lifting or moving of 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° 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.
