CHAPTER 4
The above Safety Alert Symbol means ATTENTION!
BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS
INVOLVED! It stresses an attitude of “Heads Up for
Safety” and can be found throughout this Operator’s
Manual and on the machine itself.
Before you operate this equipment, read
and study the following safety information.
In addition, be sure that every one who
operates or works with this equipment,
whether family member or employee, is
familiar with these safety precautions.
The Gehl Company ALWAYS considers the operator’s
safety when designing its machinery, and guards
exposed moving parts for the operator’s protection.
However, some areas cannot be guarded or shielded in
order to assure proper operation. Furthermore, this
Operator’s Manual and the decals on the machine warn
of additional hazards and should be read and observed
closely.
Do not modify the ROPS/FOPS unless instructed to do
so in options installations. Modifications such as
welding, drilling or cutting can weaken the structure and
reduce the protection it provides. A damaged
ROPS/FOPS cannot be repaired - it must be replaced.
Different applications may require optional safety
equipment, such as a back-up alarm, horn, mirror, strobe
light or an impact-resistant front door. Be sure you know
the job site hazards and equip your machine as needed.
DANGER
“DANGER” indicates an imminently
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
“WARNING” indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION
“CAUTION” indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury. May also alert
against unsafe practices.
Mandatory Safety Shutdown Procedure
BEFORE cleaning, adjusting, lubricating, servicing
the unit or leaving it unattended:
1. Move the drive control handle(s) to the “neutral”
position.
2. Lowerthelift arm and attachment completely. Also,
see Step 4 below.
3. Move the throttle to the low idle position, shut off
the engine and remove the key.
4. If the lift arm MUST be left in the “raised” position,
BE SURE to properly engage the lift arm support
device instead of performing Step 2.
ONLY after these precautions can you be sure it is
safe to proceed. Failure to follow the above
procedure could lead to death or serious injury.
