CONTROLS and SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Become familiar with and know how to use all safety
devices and controls on the skid steer loader before operating it. Know
how to stop loader operation before starting it. This Gehl loader is
designed and intended to be used only with a Gehl attachment or a
Gehl-approved referral attachment or accessory. Gehl cannot be
responsible for operator safety if the loader is used with a non-approved
attachment.
Guards and Shields
Whenever possible and without affecting loader operation, guards and
shields are provided to protect against potentially hazardous areas. In many
places, safety decals are also provided to warn of potential hazards and/or to
display special operating procedures.
Read and thoroughly understand all safety decals on
the loader before operating it. Do not operate the loader unless all
factory-installed guards and shields are properly secured in place.
Operator Restraint Bar
Lower the restraint bar after entering the operator’s compartment. The
restraint bar is securely anchored to the ROPS. The restraint bar switch is
wired in series with the seat switch
forming an interlock for the lift arm, tilt,
drive and starter circuits (refer to the
“Safety Interlock System” topic on page
17 for more information).
Never defeat the
operator restraint bar or seat switch
electrically or mechanically. Always
wear your seatbelt.
Operator’s Seat
The seat is mounted on rails for
backward or forward repositioning. A
spring-loaded latch handle activates the
seat adjustment mechanism.
Suspension seat (optional): A weight adjustment knob is provided with this
seat for operator comfort.
