Highway Travel
When it becomes necessary to frequently move the
loader over long distances, obtain and use a properly
rated loader trailer. For short distance highway travel,
attach a SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem
(purchased locally) to the back of the loader. For
highway operation, obtain and install amber dual
flashers or a strobe light. Check state and local laws and
regulations.
Long Term Storage
If your skid loader is to be stored for a long period of
time, the following procedure is suggested:
1. Fully inflate the tires.
2. Lubricate all grease zerks.
3. Check all fluid levels and replenish as necessary.
4. Add stabilizer to the fuel per the fuel supplier’s
recommendations.
5. Remove the battery, charge fully and store in a cool,
dry location.
6. Protect against extreme weather conditions such as
moisture, sunlight and temperature.
Transporting the Loader
WARNING
Park the truck or trailer on a level surface. Be
sure that the vehicle and its ramps have the
weight capacity to support the loader. Be sure
the vehicle surface and its ramps are free of
debris and slippery material that may reduce
traction. Move the loader on and off the vehicle
ramp slowly and carefully. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in an overturn
accident.
Observe all local regulations governing the loading and
transporting of equipment. Ensure that the hauling
vehicle meets all safety requirements before loading the
skid loader.
1. Place a block at the front and rear of the hauling
vehicle’s tires.
2. If the loader has an attachment, lift it slightly off the
ground.
3. Back the loader slowly and carefully up the ramp
onto the vehicle.
4. Lower the loader attachment to the vehicle deck,
turn off the engine and remove the key.
5. Fasten the loader to the hauling vehicle at the points
indicated by the tie-down decals (figs. 6-15 & 16).
6. Measure the clearance height of the loader and
hauling vehicle. Post the clearance height in the cab
of the vehicle.
Lifting the Loader
The skid loader can be lifted with a four point lift kit that
can be purchased from your local Gehl dealer. Follow
the instructions supplied with the kit.
