Engagement
WARNING
BEFORE leaving the operator’s compartment
to work on the loader with the lift arm raised,
ALWAYS engage the lift arm support
device. Turn the keyswitch off, remove the key
and take it with you.
To engage the lift arm support device, proceed as
follows:
1. Lower the lift arm fully onto the loader frame.
2. Turn the keyswitch to the “OFF” position to stop the
engine.
3. Leave the operator’s compartment. Press in and
hold the lock pin button to release its locking
mechanism. Remove the lock pin holding the
support device up against the lift arm. Allow the
support device to come down into contact with the
lift cylinder.
4. Return to operator’s compartment and restart the
engine.
5. Use the lift control to raise the lift arm until the lift
arm support device drops over the end of the lift
cylinder and around the cylinder rod. Slowly lower
the lift arm until the free-end of the support device
contacts the top end of the lift cylinder.
6. Look to make sure the support device is secure
against the cylinder end. Then, stop the loader
engine, remove the key and leave the operator’s
compartment.
Disengagement
WARNING
NEVER leave the operator’s compartment to
disengage the lift arm support device with the
engine running.
To return the lift arm support device to its storage
position, proceed as follows:
1. Raise the lift arm completely.
2. Turn the keyswitch to the off position to stop the
engine, remove the key and take it with you.
WARNING
Before testing the machine, ALWAYS clear
people from the area.
3. Before leaving the operator’s compartment, check
to make sure that the lift arm is being held in the
raised position by the solenoid valve (See NOTE
below).
NOTE: With the keyswitch OFF and the solenoid
valve working, the arm will stay raised when the lift
control is moved forward. If the valve does NOT
hold the arm and it begins to lower, do NOT leave
the operator’s compartment. Instead, have
someone store the support device for you. Then,
contact your Gehl dealer to determine the reason
why the lift arm lowers while the keyswitch is in the
OFF position.
4. To store the support device, raise it up until it
contacts the lift arm. Press in and hold the lock pin
button to release its locking mechanism. Insert the
lock pin through the hole in lift arm and through the
support device.
