Servicing Safety Reminders
 ALWAYS be aware of and avoid pinch point areas
on the machine, such as wheels-to-frame, cylin-
ders-to-frame, boom and attachment tool-to-frame.
 NEVER attempt to by-pass the keyswitch to start
the engine. ONLY use the jump-starting procedure
detailed in the SERVICE AND STORAGE chap-
ter.
 NEVER use your hands to search for hydraulic
fluid leaks. Use a piece of paper or cardboard.
Escaping fluid under pressure can be invisible and
can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. If
any fluid is injected into your skin, see a doctor at
once. Injected fluid MUST be surgically removed
by a doctor familiar with this type of injury or gan-
grene may result.
 ALWAYS wear safety glasses with side shields
when striking metal against metal. In addition, it is
recommended that a softer (chip-resistant) materi-
al be used to cushion the blow. Failure to heed
could lead to serious injury to the eyes or other
parts of the body.
 DO NOT refill the fuel tank when the engine is
hot. Allow engine to cool down before refilling to
prevent hot engine parts from igniting the fuel if it
should spill or splash.
 DO NOT smoke while filling the fuel tank, work-
ing on the fuel or hydraulic systems, or working
around the battery.
 DO NOT fill the fuel tank completely. Allow room
for expansion. Maintain control of the fuel filler
nozzle when filling the tank. Use the correct fuel
grade for the operating season.
 NEVER use fuel for cleaning purposes.
 DO NOT remove the radiator cap after the engine
has reached operating temperature or if it is over-
heated. At operating temperatures, the engine
coolant will be extremely HOT and under pressure.
ALWAYS wait for the engine to cool before
attempting to relieve pressure and remove the radi-
ator cap. Failure to heed this warning could result
in severe burns.
 DO NOT loosen or disconnect any hydraulic lines,
hoses or fittings without first relieving hydraulic
circuit pressure. Also, be careful not to touch any
hydraulic components that have been in recent
operation because they can be extremely hot and
can burn you!
 Avoid lubrication or mechanical adjustments with
the machine in motion or the engine running. If the
engine must be running to make certain adjust-
ments, place the transmission in neutral, apply the
parking brake, place the equipment in a safe posi-
tion, securely block the wheels and use extreme
caution.
 To ensure continued safe operation, replace dam-
aged or worn-out parts with genuine GEHL service
parts before using this equipment.
Modifications, Nameplates, Markings
and Capacities
 Modifications and additions that affect capacity or
safe operation must never be performed without
the manufacturer’s prior written approval. Where
such authorization is granted, any applicable mark-
ings are to be changed accordingly.
 All attachment tools MUST be marked to identify
the attachment tool and the total capacity with the
attachment tool at maximum elevation with the
load laterally centered.
 ALWAYS be sure all nameplates, warnings and
instruction markings are in place and legible.
Local government regulations may require specif-
ic decals, which are the responsibility of the owner
to provide.
