SAFETY
Additional Safety Reminders
Ü User/operator safety practices, as established by
industry standards, are included in this Operator’s Manual and intended to promote safe operation of the machine. These guidelines do not preclude the use of good judgment, care and common sense as may be indicated by the particular jobsite work conditions.
Ü It is essential that operators be physically and men-
tally fit, free of mind-altering drugs and chemicals, and thoroughly trained in the safe operation of the machine. Such training should be presented com­pletely to all new operators and not condensed for those claiming previous experience. Information on operator training is available from several sources, including the manufacturer.
Ü Some illustrations used in this manual may show
doors, guards and shields open or removed for illustration purposes ONLY. BE SURE that all doors, guards and shields are in their proper oper­ating positions before starting the engine.
Before Operation Safety Reminders
Ü Check brakes, steering, and hydraulic system prior
to starting operation. Operate all controls to ensure proper operation. Observe all gauges and indica­tors for proper operation. If any malfunctions are found, correct the cause prior to using the machine.
Ü ALWAYS wear appropriate personal protective
equipment for the job and working conditions. Hard hats, goggles, protective shoes, gloves, reflector-type vests, respirators and ear protection are exampes of types of equipment that may be required. DO NOT wear loose fitting clothing, long hair, jewelry or loose personal items while operating or servicing the machine.
Ü ALWAYS check the job site for terrain hazards,
obstructions and people. Remove all objects that do not belong in or on the machine and its equip­ment.
WARNING
U.S. OSHA regulations require employers in general industry and the construction, ship­yard and cargo-handling industries (excepting agricultural operations) to ensure that forklift operators are competent, as demonstrated by successful completion of a training course.
The training course must consist of a combi­nation of formal instruction and practical training, including both forklift-related and workplace-related topics, and evaluation of the operator’s performance in the workplace.
All operator training and evaluation is to be conducted by persons who have the know­ledge, training and experience to train and evaluate operators.
WARNING
ALWAYS maintain a safe distance from elec­tric power lines and avoid contact with any electrically charged conductor or gas line. It is not necessary to make direct contact with a power line for power to ground through the structure of the machine. Keep the boom at least 10 ft. (3 m) from all power lines. Accidental contact or rupture can result in electrocution or an explosion. Contact the North American One-Call Referral System at (888) 258-0808 for the local “Digger’s Hotline” number or proper local authorities for utility line locations before starting to dig!
Page 12
50960066/AP0813 10 PRINTED IN U.S.A.
Ü Walk around the machine and warn all personnel
who may be servicing the machine or who are in the machine path prior to starting. DO NOT start until all personnel are clearly away from the machine.
Operation Safety Reminders
Ü Any or all of the following elements may affect the
stability of the machine: terrain, engine speed, type of load being carried and placed, improper tire inflation, weight of the attachment tool, and abrupt movement of any control lever. IF YOU ARE
NOT CAREFUL WHILE OPERATING THIS MACHINE, ANY OF THE ABOVE FACTORS COULD CAUSE THE MACHINE TO TIP AND THROW YOU OUT OF THE OPERA­TOR’S STATION, WHICH MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH!
Ü ALWAYS wear the seat belt provided to prevent
being thrown from the machine. If you are in an overturn:
- DO NOT jump!
- Hold on tight and stay with the machine!
- Lean away from the fall!
Ü ALWAYS keep hands, feet and arms inside of the
operator’s station when operating the machine!
Ü DO NOT depend on the backup alarm to clear
bystanders out of the path of the machine. Always look in the direction of travel. Look to the rear before backing.
Ü ALWAYS use the recommended hand holds and
steps with at least three points of support when get­ting on and off the machine. Keep steps and plat­form clean. Face the machine when climbing up and down.
Ü DO NOT raise or drop a loaded fork or bucket sud-
denly. Abrupt movements under load can cause serious instability.
Ü Study the load chart carefully. It shows maximum
capacity to be lifted and placed at specific outward and upward distances. ALWAYS be aware of load weights prior to attempting lift and placement with this machine.
Ü DO NOT exceed the machine’s rated operating
capacity for the type of attachment tool being used.
Ü DO NOT allow minors or any unqualified person-
nel to operate or be near the machine unless prop­erly supervised.
Ü DO NOT start the engine or operate any controls
unless properly seated in the operator’s seat!
Ü DO NOT run the engine in an enclosed area with-
out providing proper ventilation for the exhaust. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an odor­less and deadly gas. Internal combustion engines deplete the oxygen supply within enclosed spaces and may create a serious hazard unless the oxygen is replaced. This includes the atmosphere within the cab when equipped.
Ü DO NOT leave the operator’s station with the
boom and attachment tool raised. ALWAYS lower the boom and attachment tool to the ground, shut off the engine and engage the parking brake BEFORE leaving the operator’s station.
Ü NEVER travel with the boom above the carry
position (attachment tool should be at minimum ground clearance.) Boom should be fully retract­ed.
Ü DO NOT drive too close to an excavation or ditch.
BE SURE that the surrounding ground has ade­quate strength to support the weight of the machine and the load it is carrying.
Ü DO NOT turn quickly while traveling on a slope or
operate the machine beyond the grade and slope limits noted in the Operation and Adjustments chapter of the Operator’s Manual.
Ü NEVER allow any riders on this machine or use as
a lift for personnel. This is strictly a single-seat, NO passenger machine!
Ü When road travel is required, know and use the
signaling devices on the machine. Provide an escort and Slow-Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem when required.
Ü If necessary to park on a slope, park across the
slope and block the tires.

Suspended Load Safety Reminders
The handling of suspended loads by means of a truss boom, winch, boom mounted lift hook or other similar device can introduce dynamic forces affecting the sta­bility of the machine that are not considered in the sta­bility criteria of industry test standards. Grades and sudden starts, stops and turns can cause the load to swing and create a hazard. Refer to the following guidelines for handling suspended loads.
Ü DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the tele-
scopic handler as equipped for handling suspend­ed loads. The weight of the rigging must be included as part of the load.
Ü During transport, the length of the rigging
between the attachment and load should be as short as possible to reduce booms height and movement. DO NOT raise the load more than 12 inches (305 mm) above the ground, or raise the boom more than 45 degrees.
Ü Only lift the load vertically – NEVER drag it hor-
izontally.
SAFETY
WARNING
U.S. OSHA regulations effective November 8, 2010 (29 CFR Part 1926, Subpart CC - Cranes and Derricks in Construction) include require­ments for employers that use powered indus­trial trucks ("forklifts") configured to hoist (by means of a winch or hook) and move sus­pended loads horizontally. In particular, this regulation applies to any rough-terrain forklift (e.g., "telescopic handler") equipped with a jib or truss boom with a hook (with or without a winch), or a hook assembly attached to the forks. [Note: This regulation is in addition to the OSHA regulation that requires specific forklift operator training: §1910.178(l).]
When a forklift / telescopic handler is config­ured and used for hoisting, the employer must ensure that:
1. Forklift, lift equipment and rigging have been inspected (each shift, month and year) and are in good, safe condition and properly installed.
2. An operator's manual and applicable load charts are on the forklift.
3. Work zone ground conditions can support the equipment and load. Any hazardous conditions in the work area have been identified, and the operator notified.
4. Equipment is being used within its rated capacity and in accordance with the manu­facturer's instructions.
5. Operator and crew members have been trained in the safe use and operation of the equipment, including how to avoid electro­cution.
6. During use, no part of the equipment, load line or load will be within the minimum clearance distance specified by OSHA [10 feet (3.0 m), and more for lines rated over 50 kV] of any energized power line, and any taglines used are non-conductive.
7. In addition, for lift equipment with a rated capacity greater than 2000 lbs. (907 kg), the employer must ensure that:
a.) An accessible fire extinguisher is on
the forklift;
b.) Monthly and annual inspections are
performed and documented, and records retained (three months for monthly, one year for annual);
c.) Before November 10, 2014, operators
must have had the additional training and qualification / certification required by OSHA regulations §1926.1427 and
§1926.1430.
Note: Refer to the full text of the OSHA crane regulation (29 CFR Part 1926, Subpart CC) for a detailed description of the regulatory requirements.

Ü Use multiple pickup points on the load when pos-
sible. Use taglines to restrain the load from swinging and rotating.
Ü Start, travel, turn and stop SLOWLY to prevent
the load from swinging. DO NOT exceed walking speed.
Ü Inspect rigging before use. Rigging must be in
good condition and in the U.S. comply with OSHA regulation §1910.184, “Slings,” or
§1926.251, “Rigging equipment for material han­dling.”
Ü Rigging equipment attached to the forks must be
secured such that it cannot move either sideways or fore and aft. The load center must not exceed 24 inches (610 mm).
Ü DO NOT lift the load with anyone on the load,
rigging or lift equipment, and NEVER lift the load over personnel.
Ü Beware of the wind, which can cause suspended
loads to swing, even with taglines.
Ü DO NOT attempt to use frame-leveling to com-
pensate for load swing.
Servicing Safety Reminders
Ü ALWAYS be aware of and avoid pinch-point areas
on the machine, such as wheels-to-frame, cylin­ders-to-frame, boom- and attachment-tool-to­frame.
Ü NEVER attempt to by-pass the keyswitch to start
the engine. ONLY use the jump-starting procedure detailed in the Service and Storage chapter.
Ü NEVER use your hands to search for hydraulic
fluid leaks. Instead 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 gangrene may result.
Ü ALWAYS wear safety glasses with side shields
when striking metal against metal. In addition, it is also recommended that a softer (chip-resistant) material be used to cushion the blow. Failure to heed could lead to serious injury to the eyes or other parts of the body.
Ü 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.
Ü DO NOT smoke while filling the fuel tank, work-
ing on the fuel or hydraulic systems, or working around the battery.
Ü 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.
Ü Static electricity can produce dangerous sparks at
the fuel-filling nozzle. Do not wear polyester, or polyester-blend clothing while fueling. Before fueling, touch the metal surface of the machine away from the fuel fill to dissipate any built-up sta­tic electricity. Do not re-enter the machine but stay near the fuel filling point during refueling to mini­mize the build-up of static electricity. Do not use cell phones while fueling. Make sure the static line is connected from the machine to the fuel truck before fueling begins.
Ü Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) poses a greater
static ignition hazard than earlier diesel formula­tions. Avoid death or serious injury from fire or explosion; consult with your fuel or fuel system supplier to ensure the entire fuel delivery system is in compliance with fueling standards for proper grounding and bonding practices.
Ü NEVER use fuel for cleaning purposes.
Ü DO NOT remove the radiator cap after the engine
has reached operating temperature or if it is over­heated. 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 radi­ator cap. Failure to heed this warning could result in severe burns.

SAFETY
Ü 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!
Ü Avoid lubrication or mechanical adjustments with
the machine in motion or the engine running. If the engine must be running to make certain adjust­ments, place the equipment in a safe position, place the transmission in neutral, apply the parking brake, securely block the wheels and use extreme caution.
Ü 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
Ü 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 mark­ings are to be changed accordingly.
Ü 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.
Ü ALWAYS be sure all nameplates, warnings and
instruction markings are in place and legible. Local government regulations may require specif­ic decals, which are the responsibility of the owner to provide.
Safety Guards and Warning Devices
Ü This machine is fitted with a Roll-Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) and Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS) in accordance with industry stan­dards. The structure is intended to offer protection to the operator in case of an overturn and from falling objects, but it cannot protect against every possible hazard. Therefore it should not be consid­ered a substitute for good judgment and safe prac­tices in operating the machine. If the ROPS / FOPS structure is damaged, it must be replaced to restore the protection it provides.
Ü This machine is equipped with a horn and backup
alarm. The user must determine if operating condi­tions require the machine to be equipped with additional devices (mirrors, rotating beacon, etc.) and be responsible for providing and maintaining such devices.

Exhaust Filter Gauge Indicators and Switches
A - Exhaust Filter Cleaning Switch: This switch con­trols the function of the exhaust filter. It has 3 positions as follows:
A1 Center position: In this position the exhaust fil-
ter cleaning procedure is set to the automatic (AUTO) mode. Operating the engine in this cen­ter AUTO Mode allows the ECU to perform intel­ligent exhaust filter cleaning as required.
A2 Bottom position: In this position the auto exhaust
filter cleaning is disabled.
A3 Top position: In this position the operator initi-
ates a manual exhaust filter cleaning operation. This process allows the system to clean the exhaust filter when the operator previously dis­abled exhaust filter cleaning by pressing the bot­tom of the switch. The top of the switch will need to be pressed for at least three seconds, and the park brake engaged to activate. The indicator in the switch will illuminate when activated and be off when the exhaust filter cleaning is complete.
B - Exhaust Filter Gauge: This gauge displays the four indicators you will see through the operator initi­ated or auto exhaust filter cleaning and disable processes.
NOTE: The indicators in the exhaust filter gauge will all illuminate when the keyswitch is put in the “ON” position for a momentary lamp check. During normal operation all lamps will never all be illuminated at the same time. This image is only to illustrate the indicators you may see during oper­ation.
B1 - Exhaust Filter Cleaning Indicator: This indicator will illuminate when exhaust gas tem­perature is at optimal regeneration temperature, elevated idle is active, or exhaust filter cleaning is in process.
When this indicator is illuminated, the machine can be operated as normal unless the operator determines the machine is not in a safe location for high exhaust temperatures and disables auto cleaning.
B2 - Auto Cleaning Disabled Indicator: This indicator will illuminate when the operator has disabled the auto exhaust filter cleaning function from the exhaust filter cleaning switch (A). This icon will remain illuminated until the operator re­engages automatic exhaust cleaning from the exhaust filter cleaning switch (A). Disabling the auto mode is not recommended for any situation unless it is safety related or if the fuel tank lacks the recommended 1/4 tank of fuel to complete the cleaning process.
B3 - Exhaust Filter Indicator: This indicator will illuminate when the exhaust filter is in need of cleaning because the soot level of the exhaust filter is slightly high and the operator has disabled auto exhaust filter cleaning. If conditions are safe, the operator should enable the auto exhaust filter clean setting or perform manual exhaust filter cleaning.
B4 - Exhaust Filter Warning Indicator: This amber or red indicator works in combination with the Exhaust Filter Indicator (B3).
If this indicator is illuminated amber when the
Exhaust Filter Indicator (B3) is illuminated, the engine performance will be reduced by the ECU because the soot level of the exhaust filter is mod­erately high. If conditions are safe, the operator should enable the auto exhaust filter clean func­tion. If conditions are not safe, the operator should move the machine to a safe location and engage the auto exhaust filter cleaning mode.
If this indicator is illuminated red when the
Exhaust Filter Indicator (B3) is illuminated, the engine performance will be further reduced by the ECU because the soot level of the exhaust filter is extremely high. If this combination is present, con­tact your authorized Gehl dealer.
This indicator will also illuminate red when an
engine fail condition exists. Refer to the multi­function screen for error code information.

GENERAL INFORMATION
ENGINE BREAK-IN
A new engine does not require extensive “break-in.” However, for the first 100 hours of operation, follow these guidelines: Allow the engine to idle for a few minutes after every cold start. DO NOT idle the engine for long periods of time. DO NOT operate the engine at maximum power for long periods of time. Check the oil level frequently and replenish as necessary with the oil specified in the engine manual.
Yanmar engines do not use a “break-in” oil. After the first 50 hours of operation, change the oil and replace the oil filter. Consult the Lubrication chapter for the type and grade of oil to use. Refer to the Service and Storage chapter for the proper service intervals.
PRE-START INSPECTION
It is the operator’s responsibility to inspect the machine before the start of each workday. Every pre-start inspection must include more than checking the fuel and oil levels. It is a good practice to personally inspect any machine you are assigned to use, even though it has already been put into service by other personnel.
The most efficient method of checking a machine is by conducting a “Walk-Around Inspection.”
The following items should be included in the “Walk­Around Inspection:”
1. Attachment Tool: Check for broken missing or damaged parts. When utilizing forks, check for welds, cracks or misalignment. Replace the forks in sets when the condition of the fork(s) is ques­tionable.
Chapter 6

Along with performing the “Walk-Around Inspection”, the operator should perform the “10 Hour or Daily Service Checks” found in the Service and Storage chapter.
Before mounting the operator’s compartment, walk completely around the machine to be sure no one is under, on, or close to it. Let others in the area know you are going to start up and wait until everyone is clear of the machine.
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
Before starting the engine and running the machine, refer to the Indicators and Controls chapter and become familiar with the various operating controls, indicators and safety features.
STARTING THE ENGINE
The following procedure is recommended for starting the engine:
1. Grasp the hand holds to step up into the operator’s compartment.
2. Adjust the seat and fasten the seat belt.
3. Check that all controls are in their “neutral” posi­tions, except the parking brake switch, which should be in the “ON” position.
4. Turn the key switch to “ON” position. The pre­heat indicator on the multi-function display will be “ON” indicating the pre-heater is in use. When the indicator goes out, the engine can be started.
NOTE: The engine pre-heater is used to assist starting in cold weather conditions. The indicator may stay lighted for 3-30 seconds depending on the temperature. If you are operating the tele­scopic handler in normal or warm weather condi­tions, the pre-heat indicator will go out in several seconds and you can start the engine.
5. Press the start button. Release the button as soon as the engine starts. If the button is released before the engine starts, turn the keyswitch to “OFF” position and allow the starter to stop before attempting to start again.
IMPORTANT: Crank the starter until the engine starts. If the engine fails to start within 15 sec­onds, return the key to the “OFF” position, wait at least 30 seconds, and try again to start the engine. Cranking the engine for longer than 15 seconds will result in premature failure of the starter.
WARNING
ALWAYS fasten your seat belt before starting the engine. Leave the parking brake applied until the engine is running and you are ready to operate the machine.
WARNING
Do not use starting fluid (ether) with engine preheat systems. An explosion can result, which can cause engine damage, injury or death.
Page 32
50960066/AP0813 30 PRINTED IN U.S.A.
6. After the engine starts, allow a sufficient warm-up time before operating the controls.
7. Check that indicators are in normal condition.
8. Check that there are no fuel, oil or engine coolant leaks, and no abnormal noises or vibrations.
COLD STARTING
A optional block heater is recommended for starting in temperatures of 20
o
F (-7oC) or lower.
The block heater should be connected to an AC power supply several hours prior to starting the engine depending on the ambient temperature.
If the battery becomes discharged and does not have sufficient power to start the engine, jumper cables can be used for starting assistance. Refer to the jump start­ing instructions in the Service and Storage chapter of this manual for safe jump starting procedures.
STOPPING
The following procedure is the recommended sequence for stopping the machine:
1. Bring the machine to a stop on a level surface. Avoid parking on a slope, but if necessary, park across the slope and block the tires.
2. Fully retract the boom and lower the attachment to the ground. Idle the engine for 5 minutes to allow engine components to cool slightly before shutting the engine down.
3. Place controls in neutral. Apply the parking brake.
4. Turn the ignition switch key to the “OFF” position. Remove the key.
5. Unfasten the seatbelt, and grasp the hand holds while climbing out of the operator’s compartment.
FIRST TIME OPERATION
Make sure the engine is warm and then go through the following procedures:
Select the travel direction. Switch off the parking brake and move ahead slowly, while testing the steering and brakes. Stop and operate all boom and attachment tool function controls, checking for smooth response.
Apply the service brakes, stop the machine and move the travel lever to the opposite direction.
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the trans­mission, the Telescopic Handler should be travel­ing at a slow speed and not accelerating when changing the direction of travel.
EXHAUST FILTER CLEANING SYSTEM
The engine is equipped with an exhaust filter in place of a muffler. This filter is located to the front of the engine under the engine cover. This exhaust filter reduces carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and particu­late matter from the exhaust stream. Trapped particles are eventually oxidized through a process known as regeneration or exhaust filter cleaning.
Under normal machine operation and with the system in AUTO mode, the exhaust filter requires minimal operator interaction.
To avoid unnecessary buildup of diesel particles or soot in the exhaust filter system;
1. Utilize the Automatic (AUTO) Exhaust Filter Cleaning mode.
2. Avoid unnecessary idling.
3. Use the proper engine oil. See Lubrication chap- ter of this manual or the engine maual for proper engine oil specifications.
4. Use only ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel. See Lubrication chapter of this maual or the engine manual for fuel requirements.
Even with proper maintenance, ash and soot will build up in the exhaust filter after several thousand hours of operation and require service. This service will need to be performed by a authorized Gehl dealer.
Automatic (AUTO) Exhaust Filter Cleaning
Operating the engine in AUTO Mode allows the ECU to perform intelligent exhaust cleaning as required.
CAUTION
Be sure the area used for test-running is clear of spectators and obstructions. Initially, oper­ate the machine with an empty attachment tool.
WARNING
Do not use starting fluid (ether) with engine preheat systems. An explosion can result, which can cause engine damage, injury or death.
Page 33
PRINTED IN U.S.A. 31 50960066/AP0813
The Exhaust Filter Cleaning Indicator will illuminate when the system is actively performing an exhaust fil­ter cleaning. When the exhaust filter cleaning process has completed its cycle, the cleaning indicator will turn off.
The machine can be operated as normal during the auto exhaust filter cleaning process unless the operator determines the machine is not in a safe location for high exhaust temperatures and disables the auto clean­ing process.
To enable the auto exhaust filter cleaning mode, the exhaust filter cleaning rocker switch should be in the center position.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that the exhaust filter cleaning be in the Auto mode at all times. Auto mode should only be disabled when the machine is not in a safe location during the exhaust filter cleaning process.
If the machine is not able to be moved to a safe loca­tion, the operator should temporarily disable auto exhaust filter cleaning. If the machine is located in a safe location, the auto mode should always be enabled.
Manual/Parked Exhaust Filter Cleaning
Manual/Parked exhaust filter cleaning is initiated by the operator. This process allows the system to clean the exhaust filter when the operator previously needed to disable the auto exhaust cleaning process because of specific conditions. During this process the engine
speed will be controlled by the ECU. The machine must remain parked during this process.
NOTE: It is not necessary to perform a manual/parked exhaust cleaning unless a previ­ous auto cleaning process was cancelled and the indicator in the exhaust filter gauge is illuminated.
Cleaning times will vary depending upon several spe­cific criteria. The average standard cleaning time can range from 20 - 50 minutes or longer.
To enable manual/parked exhaust filter cleaning;
1. Park the machine in a safe location and check that the machine has a recommended 1/4 tank of fuel to complete the process.
2. Reduce engine speed to low idle and apply the parking brake.
3. Press the top of the exhaust filter cleaning switch for approximately 3 seconds until the indicator in the switch illuminates. The cleaning indicator in the exhaust filter gauge will also illuminate.
The indicators will go off when the exhaust filter cleaning process is completed. If the machine is not going to be returned to service immediately after the cleaning process, allow the engine and the exhaust fil­ter time to return to normal operating temperature before stopping the engine. The manual/parked filter cleaning process can be canceled at any time during the process.
Avoid disabling the cleaning process unless absolutely necessary. Repeated disabling or ignoring prompts to perform a manual/parked cleaning procedure will cause additional engine power limitations and can eventually lead to dealer required service.
Utilize AUTO Exhaust Filter Cleaning mode to avoid additional service.
Disable Exhaust Filter Cleaning
Disabling the exhaust filter cleaning request is not rec­ommended. Disable the automatic exhaust filter clean­ing only when necessary. Whenever possible, cleaning should be allowed and the exhaust filter cleaning switch should be left in the AUTO Mode. When left in auto mode, soot buildup in the exhaust filter system will be at a minimum.
To disable exhaust filter cleaning, press the bottom of the exhaust filter cleaning rocker switch. The Auto Cleaning Disabled Indicator located in the exhaust fil­ter gauge will be illuminated.
WARNING
During auto or manual exhaust filter cleaning operations, the engine will run at elevated idle and hot temperatures for approximately 30 minutes. Exhaust gases and exhaust filter components reach temperatures hot enough to burn people, ignite, or melt common mate­rials.
Servicing the machine or attachments during exhaust filter cleaning can result in serious personal injury. Avoid exposure and skin con­tact with hot exhaust gases and components.
If the machine is not in a safe location for ele­vated temperatures, move the machine to a safe location and check for adequate fuel level before beginning the exhaust filter cleaning process.
Page 34
50960066/AP0813 32 PRINTED IN U.S.A.
The proper sequence for correct machine operation is to always engage the parking brake switch before shut­ting off the engine; and to disengage the parking brake ONLY after the engine is running. In an EMER­GENCY, if it becomes necessary to STOP movement,
activate the parking brake switch to “ON.”
CHANGING ATTACHMENT TOOLS
The Telescopic Handler boom nose will accept Gehl Quick-attach System attachment tools. The Quick­attach System has a quick-release hookup and locking mechanism for mounting framing-type or masonry­type attachment tools to the boom nose.
Attaching
To pick up the attachment tool, proceed as follows:
1. Raise the boom slightly, extend it 2 to 3 feet (600­900 mm) for better visibility, and tilt the Quick­attach System forward.
2. Align the Quick-attach System squarely with the back of the attachment tool.
3. Slowly extend the Quick-attach System and lower the hooks under the attachment tool hookup bar.
4. Tilt the Quick-attach System back so that the lock plate engages the attachment tool. This secures the attachment tool to the Quick-attach System.
5. For an attachment tool with auxiliary hydraulics, connect hoses to the quick-disconnect connectors on the boom nose.
Exhaust Filter Cleaning Precautions
When the AUTO Exhaust Filter Cleaning is disabled, the sytem has 3 levels of notification to advise the operator to perform the exhaust filter cleaning. The 3 levels are as follows;
1. The Exhaust Filter Indicator will illuminate, indicating the the soot level in the filter is slightly high. If conditions are safe, the operator should enable auto exhaust filter cleaning or perform a manual exhaust filter cleaning.
2. The Exhaust Filter Indicator and the Amber Alert Indicator in the exhaust filter gauge will illuminate. The engine per­formace will be reduced by the ECU because the soot level in the exhaust filter is moderately high. If conditions are safe, the operator should enable auto exhaust filter cleaning. If conditions are not safe, the oper­ator should move the machine to a safe location and either enable the auto exhaust filter cleaning or perform a manual exhaust filter cleaning.
3. The Exhaust Filter Indicator and the Red Alert Indicator in the exhaust filter gauge will illuminate. The ECU will further reduce engine per­formance. Continuing to operate the machine at this level will set a “Service Only” soot condition where the engine cannot clean the exhaust filter itself. In this condition, contact your authorized Gehl dealer.
PARKING BRAKE
NOTE: The parking brake mechanism within the
front axle is not designed for, and not intended to be used as, the primary means of stopping move­ment of the machine. Hydraulic braking provided through the service brakes within the front axle is the primary means for stopping movement.

Detaching
To detach attachment tool, proceed as follows:
1. Raise the boom slightly and extend it 2 to 3 feet (600-900 mm) for better visibility. Lower the boom until the attachment tool is approximately 12” (300 mm) off the ground.
2. Roll the carrier rearward as far as it will go. When the carrier is rolled all the way back, perform the Mandatory Safety Shutdown Procedure (p. 8, Safety chapter).
3. With the engine off, leave the operator’s station. Manually raise the lock spring, and flip the lock plate up and outward at least 180° so it is in posi­tion to re-lock on the next attachment tool.
4. Tilt the Quick-attach System forward to allow the attachment tool to roll out, then lower the boom so the hook ears clear the hookup bar on the attach­ment tool.
NOTE: One side of the lock plate has a bright red decal to indicate the unlocked position.
5. If the attachment tool has auxiliary hydraulics, dis­connect the hoses from the quick-disconnects on the boom nose.
6. Start the engine and tilt the Quick-attach System forward, then slowly back the machine until the attachment tool is free from the boom nose.
SELF-LEVELING
The machine is equipped with a hydraulic self-leveling feature. This feature is designed to keep the attachment tool level while the boom is being raised and lowered.
GENERAL MACHINE OPERATION
Check the Telescopic Handler to be sure all systems are in good operating condition. Perform the following steps before starting the machine the first time each day:
1. Check the engine oil, coolant and hydraulic oil lev­els.
2. Check hydraulic oil cooler and engine radiator for debris.
3. Be sure weekly lubrication has been done.
4. Visually inspect for leaks and broken or malfunc­tioning parts. Be sure all caps, covers and safety shields are in place.
5. Check tires for cuts, bulges, nails, correct pressure, loose wheel nuts, etc.
WARNING
Modifications, alterations to, or use of attach­ment tools not authorized by Gehl (or the man­ufacturer) in writing can void warranty and cause machine damage and/or serious per­sonal injury or death.

Only handle loads within the capacity limits of the machine, and which are stable and safely arranged. When attachments are used, extra care should be taken in securing, manipulating, positioning and transporting the load.
Grade Limits
NOTE: Grade limits are based on ANSI/ITSDF
standard B56.6-2005.
This Telescopic Handler meets or exceeds the safety standard (ANSI/ITSDF B56.6) stability limits for rough terrain forklifts. The stability tipping limits cover specific, controlled test conditions, which are extremes, and which are not intended to be achieved during normal worksite operations. The following specifications are provided only as information to the operator, and must not be used as a guideline for oper­ating the Telescopic Handler. For safe operation, always follow the instructions and warnings provided in this manual.
1. DO NOT place or retrieve loads on an up or down slope or grade that exceeds 7% or 4°.
2. DO NOT travel up or down a grade or slope that exceeds 22% or 12° while loaded.
3. DO NOT place or retrieve loads on a side hill with a slope or grade that exceeds 12% or 7°. Check the location of the ball in the frame angle indicator located on the ROPS/FOPS cross member. If the ball in the frame angle indicator is in the green zone, it is safe to place or retrieve the load. If the ball in the frame angle indicator is in the yellow zone, use slower movements and extra caution to ensure remaining within the limits of the load chart, because the machine is nearing an unstable condition. If the ball in the frame angle indicator is in the red zone, loads cannot be placed or retrieved.
4. DO NOT travel across a side hill that exceeds 18% or 10° grade. Check the frame angle indicator on the ROPS/FOPS cross member to determine the angle of the grade. The attachment tool MUST be maintained at the “carry” position, with the boom fully retracted and attachment tool at minimum ground clearance.
When ascending or descending grades in excess of 5% or 3°, the machine should be driven with the load upgrade. An unloaded machine should be operated on all grades with the load handling attachment tool downgrade, tilted back if applicable, and raised only as far as necessary to clear the ground surface.
6. Inspect the work area. Be sure you know where you will make load pickups, lifts and turns. Look over the terrain of the jobsite for holes, obstacles, slippery surfaces, and soft or deep mud.
7. Check clearances of ramps, doorways and passage-ways. Check overhead clearances if you will travel and place loads near power or telephone lines.
If the machine is in need of repair or in any way unsafe, or contributes to an unsafe condition, the matter must be reported immediately to the user’s designated authority. The machine must NOT be operated until it has been restored to a safe operating condition.
Operate the travel controls gradually and smoothly when starting, stopping, turning and reversing direc­tion.
Grade and Slope Precautions
The Telescopic Handler complies with industry stabil­ity test requirements and is stable when properly oper­ated. However, improper operation, faulty mainte­nance, and poor housekeeping can contribute to a con­dition of instability and defeat the purpose of the stan­dard.
The amount of forward and rearward tilt to be used is governed by the application. Although use of maxi­mum rearward tilt is allowable under certain condi­tions, such as traveling with the load fully lowered, the stability limits of the machine, as determined by the industry standard tests, do not encompass considera­tion for excessive tilt at high elevations, or the han­dling of off-center loads.
WARNING
Exhaust fumes can kill. Ensure proper ventila­tion when starting indoors or in enclosed areas.
Use proper hand holds, NOT the steering wheel or control levers when mounting and dismounting.
NEVER operate the machine with safety guards or covers removed.
Over-inflated tires can explode and cause injury or death. Tire repairs MUST be made only by authorized personnel using proper tools and equipment.
Page 37
PRINTED IN U.S.A. 35 50960066/AP0813
Avoid turning if possible and use extreme caution on grades, ramps and inclines. Normally travel straight up and down the slope.
Traffic Flow Patterns
Know and understand the traffic flow patterns of your jobsite. Know all Telescopic Handler hand signals for safety. Use signal persons as necessary for safe opera­tion, and be sure you can see the signal person and acknowledge the signals given.
When ramps must be used in transporting loads with the machine, the following are the minimum widths for safe travel:
Compacted dirt, gravel, etc. 12 ft. (3.6 m) Woodboard, concrete, etc. 10 ft. (3.0 m)
Permanent aisles, roadways and passageways, floors and ramps must be clearly defined or marked. Permanent or temporary protrusion of loads, equip­ment, material and construction facilities into the usual operating area must be guarded, clearly and distinc­tively marked, or clearly visible.
Maintain a safe distance from the edge of ramps, plat­forms and other similar working surfaces.
Controlled lighting of adequate intensity should be provided in operating areas. Where operating condi­tions indicate, the operator/user is responsible for hav­ing the machine equipped with lights.
Provisions must be made to prevent trucks, semi-trail­ers and railroad cars from being moved during loading and unloading.
Wheel stops, parking brakes, or other positive holding means must be used to prevent movement during load­ing and unloading.
DO NOT move railroad cars and trailers with the Telescopic Handler.
DO NOT use the boom and attachment for leverage to push the machine out of mud.
Safety Hand Signals
Page 38
50960066/AP0813 36 PRINTED IN U.S.A.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT lower boom at high engine speed when attachment tool is at maxi­mum rearward tilt, because damage to slave cylinders may result.
GENERAL LOAD HANDLING
NEVER attempt to work controls except from the operator’s seat. NEVER jerk or use fast movements. Avoid sudden stops, starts and changes in direction.
Operation of the hydraulic system depends on engine speed and the distance the controls are moved. When operating these controls it is important to develop a technique called “feathering.” Feathering the control means starting the desired motion by moving the con­trol a small amount away from neutral. Then after movement has started, the control can be eased to full movement. Use the same feathering technique to stop the motion.
Load Capacity and Reach
This machine has flip-charts in the operator’s station that provide the load capacity limits at various posi­tions of attachment tool extension and elevation. A set of the load zone charts is reproduced at the end of this manual for reference.
A typical load zone chart is shown on the next page. The scale on the left indicates height in feet above the ground level. The scale on the bottom shows the dis­tance in feet out from the front of the machine. The arc lines noted by the numbers “1” through “4” correspond to the position extension markers on the operator side of the inner boom section.
The following example illustrates proper use of the load zone charts for the Telescopic Handler:
Example:
The operator, using a standard carriage attachment tool, wants to raise a 4000 pound load 10 feet high, and can only get to within 5 feet of the load placement point. Can it be done within the capacity of the machine?
WARNING
NEVER exceed the rated operating capacity of the Telescopic Handler as shown on the load zone charts.
WARNING
Excessive speed can be hazardous. ALWAYS exercise caution and good judgement while operating the machine.
ALWAYS maintain a safe distance from elec­tric power lines and avoid contact with any electrically charged conductor and gas line. It is not necessary to make direct contact with a power line for power to ground through the structure of the machine. Keep the boom and load at least 10 ft. (3 m) from all power lines. Accidental contact or rupture can result in electrocution or an explosion. Contact the North American One-Call Referral System at (888) 258-0808 for the local “Digger’s Hotline” number or proper local authorities for utility line locations BEFORE starting to dig!
Keep all body parts inside the operator’s sta­tion while operating the machine. BE SURE of clearance for the attachment tool when turn­ing, working around buildings, etc.
Turning corners too fast can tip the machine, or cause a load to tip off the attachment. Sudden slowing or stopping of the machine may cause the load to drop off the attachment tool.
Be certain you can control both speed and direction before moving. Always place the machine in neutral and set the parking brake before raising or extending the boom. NEVER drive the machine up to someone standing in front of the load.
NEVER leave the operator’s station without first lowering the attachment tool to the ground. Then set the parking brake, place con­trols in neutral, shut off engine and remove the key. AVOID parking the machine on a slope, but if necessary, park across the slope and block the tires.

Analysis: See “Typical Load Zone Chart” below.
Projecting up from the 5-foot mark on the horizontal axis to intersect a line through the 10-foot mark on the vertical axis shows the load can be placed in the 4000 pound zone.
During placement, the operator observes when the extension reference number “2” on the boom becomes visible and stops. The maximum safe distance of extension with this load has been reached.
HANDLING NON-SUSPENDED LOADS
Picking Up the Load
Inspect the load. If it appears unstable, DO NOT attempt to move it. DO NOT attempt lifting double­tiered loads, or straddling side-by-side pallets with one on each fork. NEVER add extra unauthorized counter­weights to this machine.
Approach the load squarely and slowly with the machine straight and level. Adjust the space between forks, if necessary. Engage the load equally on both forks until the load touches the carriage backrest. Tilt the forks back to position the load for travel.
Carrying the Load
If the load obstructs your view, get someone to direct you. Maintain ground speeds consistent with ground conditions and which permit stopping in a safe manner.
Elevating and Placing the Load
For ground level load placement, be sure the area under the load and around the machine is clear of equipment and personnel. Lower the load to the ground, tilt the forks to the horizontal position, and then carefully back away to disengage forks from the load.
For elevated or overhead placement, bring the machine as close as possible to the landing point, and then:
WARNING
Operating conditions can reduce the telehan­dler’s safe operating capacity. Exceeding the capacity when raising or extending the boom will cause the telehandler to tip forward.
WARNING
DO NOT raise the boom until you check the frame angle indicator to verify that the ball is in a safe zone for raising and placing a high load.

1. Use extreme caution for high placement. Be sure
personnel are clear of the area where the load or the machine could tip or fall.
2. Set the parking brake, hold the service brake
pedal in fully applied position and slowly raise the load, maintaining a slight rearward tilt to cra­dle the load.
3. As the load approaches the desired height, feath-
er the boom control at minimum speed until the load is slightly higher than the landing point.
4. Continue the feathering technique and lower the
load into place.
5. Free the forks from the load by alternately retract-
ing and raising the boom. If this process is not possible, very slowly and carefully reverse the telescopic handler to free the forks from the load.
6. Lower the forks to travel height.
HANDLING SUSPENDED LOADS
Determine the weight and load center of the load to be handled. Refer to the telehandler load chart to deter­mine if the load can safely be handled.
NOTE: Refer to the standard carriage load chart when using the boom mounted hook.
Picking Up Suspended Load
1. Rigging should be in good condition and rated for the load being lifted.
2. Rigging should comply with OSHA regulation
§1910.184, “Slings,” or §1926.251, “Rigging equipment for material handling.”
3. Avoid lifting double-tiered or any unstable loads.
4. Only lift loads vertically and clear from any adja­cent obstacles. Never drag the load horizontally.
5. Use multiple lift points and taglines to restrain the load from swinging or rotating.
WARNING
Be sure that the surrounding ground has ade­quate strength to support the weight of the machine and the load it is carrying.
Always wear the seat belt provided to prevent being thrown from the machine. If you are in an overturn:
- DO NOT jump!
- Hold on tight and stay with the machine!
- Lean away from the fall!
WARNING
The machine becomes less stable as the load is raised higher.
Before raising a load, be sure the Telescopic Handler is within the safe lifting parameter as indicated by the frame angle indicator.
If a hydraulic boom circuit hose should break with the boom up, shut down the machine. DO NOT attempt to bring down the boom or make repairs. Call your Gehl dealer immediately.
As lift height increases, depth perception decreases. High elevation placement may require a signal person to guide the operator.
DO NOT ram the lift cylinder to the end of the stroke. The resulting jolt could spill the load.
A jib or truss boom should ONLY be used to lift and place loads when the machine is sta­tionary and the frame is level. Transporting suspended loads must ALWAYS be done slow­ly and cautiously, with the boom and load as low as possible. Use taglines to restrict loads from swinging, to avoid overturns.
WARNING
Operating conditions can reduce the machine’s safe operating capacity. Exceeding the capacity when raising or extending the boom will cause the machine to tip forward.
WARNING
NEVER exceed the rated operating capacity of the telehandler as shown on the load zone charts.
Page 41
PRINTED IN U.S.A. 39 50960066/AP0813
Carrying Suspended Load
1. Rigging between the load and attachment should be as short as possible to reduce boom height.
2. Do not raise the load more than 12 inches (305 mm) above the ground or raise the boom more than 45 degrees.
3. All telehandler movements should be performed slowly and cautiously to prevent load swing. Avoid abrupt movement. Do not exceed walking speed.
4. Use a signal person anytime the load restricts the operators view or assistance is required. The sig­nal person should remain in contact (verbally or visually) with the operator at all times until the load is placed.
Ground Level Suspended Load Placement
1. Be sure the area under the load and around the telehandler is clear of equipment and personnel.
2. Lower the load to the ground till load is stationary and the rigging is loose from the load. Have sig­nal person disconnect the rigging from the load.
3. Raise boom enough to clear the rigging from the load before backing the telehandler away from the load.
Elevated Suspended Load Placement
1. Bring the telehandler as close as possible to the landing point.
2. Check the frame angle indicator to verify that the ball is in the safe zone for placing a elevated load. Use extreme caution for high placement. Be sure personnel are clear of the load landing area.

Choose a clean, level work area. Make sure you have sufficient room, clearances, and adequate ventilation. Clean the walking and working surfaces. Remove oil, grease and water to eliminate slippery areas. Utilize sand or oil absorbing compound, as necessary, while servicing the Telescopic Handler.
Before starting inspection and repair, move the machine onto a level surface, shut down engine and remove the ignition key, and release all hydraulic pres­sure. Always block the boom securely, or lower it to full ground contact. Place all controls in neutral.
Block the tires. Remove the ignition key. Remove only guards or covers that provide needed access. Wipe away excess grease and oil.
Excessively worn or damaged parts can fail and cause injury or death. Replace any cracked or damaged parts. Use only genuine Gehl parts for service.
Use care not to damage machined and polished sur­faces. Clean or replace all damaged or painted-over plates and decals that cannot be read.
After servicing, check the work performed, that no parts are left over, etc. Install all guards and covers.
WARNING
DO NOT smoke or allow any open flames in the area while checking or servicing hydraulic, battery or fuel systems; all contain highly flammable liquids or explosive gases, which can cause an explosion or fire if ignited.
Wear a face shield when you disassemble spring-loaded components or work with bat­tery acid. Wear a helmet or goggles with spe­cial lenses when you weld or cut with a torch.
When working beneath a raised machine, always use blocks, jack-stands or other rigid and stable supports. Wear appropriate protec­tive clothing, gloves, and shoes. Keep feet, clothing, hands and hair away from moving parts.
Always wear safety glasses or goggles for eye protection from electric arcs from shorts, flu­ids under pressure, and flying debris or loose material when the engine is running or tools are used for grinding or pounding.
NEVER weld on bucket, forks, boom, support frame or ROPS/FOPS without the consent of the manufacturer. These components may be made with metals that require special welding techniques, or with designs that do not allow weld repairs. NEVER cut or weld on fuel lines or tanks.
If repair welding is ever required, BE SURE to attach the ground (-) cable from the welder as close as possible to the area to be repaired. Also, remove battery positive (+) terminal con­nection before welding.
Service Every 10 Hours or Daily
WARNING
NEVER leave guards off or access doors open when the machine is unattended. Keep bystanders away if access doors are open.
WARNING
Static electricity can produce dangerous sparks at the fuel-filling nozzle. Do not wear polyester, or polyester-blend clothing while fueling. Before fueling, touch the metal sur­face of the machine away from the fuel fill to dissipate any built-up static electricity. Do not re-enter the machine but stay near the fuel fill­ing point during refueling to minimize the build-up of static electricity. Do not use cell phones while fueling. Make sure the static line is connected from the machine to the fuel truck before fueling begins.
Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) poses a greater static ignition hazard than earlier diesel formulations. Avoid death or serious injury from fire or explosion; consult with your fuel or fuel system supplier to ensure the entire fuel delivery system is in compliance with fueling standards for proper grounding and bonding practices.

CHECKING FUEL TANK LEVEL
After operation each day, the fuel tank should be filled to prevent water from condensing in the tank. To fill, remove the filler cap and add fuel.
CHECKING FUEL FILTER/WATER SEP­ARATOR
Visually check the fuel filter/water separator for water and deris. Drain the filter/separator if water is present following the draining procedure in the 50 hour service interval.
CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
With the machine on level ground, and the engine stopped for ten minutes or more, open the right side engine cover and remove the engine dipstick. Wipe it clean, re-insert it and remove to obtain a reading. If the oil level is down, or below the ADD mark, fill with the required amount of oil to bring the level to the FULL mark. See the Lubrication chapter for the type of oil to use.
CHECKING COOLANT LEVEL
Check the coolant level before starting the machine the first time every day. With the machine on level ground, open the engine cover. Check that the coolant in the coolant expansion tank is between the Full and Add marks on the tank.
If the coolant is below the Add mark on the tank, remove the cap and add a low-silicate ethylene glycol based coolant mixed with quality water and supple­mental coolant additives (SCAs) suitable for heavy­duty diesel engines to the coolant expansion tank. See the engine manual for additional information. Replace the cap securely.
NOTE: The coolant system is designed for coolant top-off only through the expansion tank. Do not add coolant directly to the radiator.
CHECKING RADIATOR FOR DEBRIS
With the machine on level ground, open the engine cover. Remove the rear radiator cover by turning the two quarter turn latches counter-clockwise. Remove the cover by lifting up and to the rear. If necessary, clean the radiator fins of debris by blowing com­pressed air or water through the radiator fins from either side of the radiator.
It may be best to clean as much as possible by blowing from the inside of the radiator first, then blowing from the outside of the radiator until the air or water is free of dirt and debris.
IMPORTANT: Use caution when cleaning the radiator. High pressure air or water may bend radiator fins which will reduce the radiator cooling capacity.
WARNING
DO NOT remove the radiator cap when the engine is running hot or overheated. Coolant is extremely hot and under pressure and it can burn your skin.
IMPORTANT
Water in the fuel system can cause severe engine damage. Drain water from the fuel fil­ter/water separator anytime water is present.

Inflate as necessary per the chart below:
12-16.5 NHS 10 PR: 65 psi (450 kPa)
NOTE: If the tires have been filled with water or calcium chloride for ballast, a calcium chloride tire pressure gauge MUST be used to check the tire pressure.
To ensure proper load carrying capability, original equipment tires comply with the specifications pub­lished in the Tire and Rim Association Yearbook. Replacement tires MUST meet the same specifica­tions. When replacing tires, be sure all tires are of the same type, quality and load rating, and the same size as the original equipment. When removing tires, follow industry safety practices. Deflate completely prior to removal. After assembly of the tire on the rim, use a safety cage or restraining device while inflating.
CHECKING HYDRAULIC OIL LEVEL
The machine must be on level ground with boom low­ered and completely retracted. The fluid MUST be cool when checking the reservoir level, to reduce the possi­bility of overfilling the hydraulic system.
Open the right side engine cover and locate the sight gauge below the battery compartment. The oil level should be at the midpoint of the sight gauge. If the oil level is down, or below the sight gauge, fill with the required amount of oil. See the Lubrication chapter for the type of oil to use.
IMPORTANT: Be careful when removing the reservoir filler cap so that no dirt or other foreign matter enters the hydraulic system. DO NOT OVERFILL.
CHECKING BRAKE RESERVOIR LEVEL
Remove the cover on the front of the frame. Remove the reservoir cover to check the fluid level. If low, fill to the proper level with the correct fluid. See the Lubrication chapter for the type of fluid to use.
CHECKING TIRE PRESSURES
To ensure proper operating stability and extend tire life, proper and equal tire pressure should be main­tained in all four tires. Check tire pressures “cold.”
WARNING
Inflating or servicing tires can be dangerous. Whenever possible, trained personnel should service and mount tires. To avoid possible death or serious injury, follow the safety pre­cautions below:
1. BE SURE the rim is clean and free of rust.
2. Lubricate both the tire beads and rim flanges with a soap solution. DO NOT use oil or grease.
3. DO NOT place your fingers on the tire bead or rim during inflation. Use a clip-on tire chuck with a remote hose and gauge, which allows you to stand clear of the tire while inflating it.
4. NEVER inflate beyond 35 psi (240 kPa) to seat the beads. If the beads have not seat­ed by the time the pressure reaches 35 psi (240 kPa), deflate the assembly, reposition the tire on the rim, relubricate both parts and re-inflate. Inflation pressure beyond 35 psi (240 kPa) with unseated beads may break the bead or rim with explosive force sufficient to cause death or serious injury.
5. After seating the beads, adjust the inflation pressure to the recommended operating pressure listed.
6. DO NOT weld, braze, or otherwise attempt to repair and use a damaged rim.

1. Turn the key switches on both vehicles to “OFF.” Be sure that both vehicles are in “Neutral” and NOT touching.
2. Connect one end of the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) battery terminal on the disabled machine first. DO NOT allow the positive (+) jumper cable clamps to touch any metal other than the positive (+) battery terminals. Connect the other end of the positive jumper cable to the jumper battery positive (+) terminal.
3. Connect one end of the negative (-) jumper cable to the jumper battery negative (-) terminal.
4. Make the final negative (-) jumper cable connec­tion to the disabled machine’s engine block or frame (ground) NOT to the disabled battery neg­ative post. If making the connection to the engine, keep the jumper clamp away from the battery, fuel lines, and moving parts.
NOTE: Twist the jumper cable clamps on the bat­tery terminals to ensure a good electrical connec­tion.
5. Proceed to start the machine. If it does not start immediately, start the jumper vehicle engine to avoid excessive drain on the booster battery.
clean the terminals and clamps with the same alkaline solution.
Jump Starting
If the battery becomes discharged or does not have enough power to start the engine, use jumper cables and the following procedure to jump-start the engine.
IMPORTANT
: BE SURE that the jumper battery
is also a 12-volt D. C. battery, and the vehicle used for jump starting has a negative-ground electrical system.
WARNING
The ONLY safe method for jump-starting a disharged battery is for TWO PEOPLE to per­form the following procedure. The second per­son is needed for removing the jumper cables so that the operator does not have to leave the operator’s compartment while the engine is running. NEVER connect the jumper cables directly to the starter solenoid of either engine. DO NOT start the engine from any position other than the operator’s seat, and then ONLY after making sure all controls are in “neutral.”
Closely follow the jump-start procedures, in the order listed, to avoid personal injury. In addition, wear safety glasses to protect your eyes, and avoid leaning over the batteries while jump-starting.
DO NOT attempt to jump-start the machine if the battery is frozen, because this may cause it to rupture or explode.
WARNING
Explosive gas is produced while a battery is in use or being charged. Keep flames or sparks away from the battery area. Make sure battery is charged in a well-ventilated area.
NEVER lay a metal object on top of a battery, because a short circuit can result.
Battery acid is harmful on contact with skin and fabrics. If acid spills, follow these first-aid tips:
1. IMMEDIATELY remove any clothing on which acid spills.
2. If acid contacts the skin, rinse the affected area with running water for 10 to 15 min­utes.
3. If acid comes in contact with the eyes, flood the eyes with running water for 10 to 15 minutes. See a doctor at once. NEVER use any medication or eye drops unless prescribed by a doctor.
4. To neutralize acid spilled on the floor, use one of the following mixtures:
a. 1 pound (0.5 kg) of baking soda in 4
quarts (4 liters) of water.
b. 1 pint (0.4 liters) of household ammo-
nia in 4 quarts (4 liters) of water.
Whenever battery is removed from the unit, BE SURE to disconnect the negative (-) bat­tery terminal connection first.

boom. Shims can be added to achieve the proper clear­ance. Loosen the bolts and insert shims until proper clearance is obtained.
NOTE: When inserting shims in the side slide pads, be sure to place equal shims on both sides of the boom for even distribution of clearance.
Re-apply Loctite® thread lock to the bolts and re­torque to 30 ft.-lbs. (40 Nm). Bottom slide pads should not be shimmed and should be replaced when the thickness is worn down to 3/8” (9.5 mm).
CLEAN AIR CONDITIONING CON­DENSER
NOTE: Clean the condenser more often if there is
a noticeable decrease in A/C performance.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a water jet or high-pres­sure steam, because this could damage the fins.
1. Remove the six screws (1) from the top cover of the condenser.
2. Remove the cover to gain access to the condenser (2).
6. After the machine is started and running smoothly, have the second person remove the jumper cables (negative (-) jumper cable first) from the jumper vehicle battery, and then from the disabled machine, while ensuring NOT to short the two cables together.
Allow sufficient time for the alternator to build up a charge in the battery before operating the machine or shutting off the engine.
NOTE: If the battery frequently becomes dis­charged, have the battery checked for possible dead cells, or troubleshoot the electrical system for possible short circuits or damaged wire insula­tion.
CHECKING BOOM SLIDE PADS WEAR AND CLEARANCE
The boom is equipped with special nylon low friction slide pads between the telescopic sections. (See illus­tration on the next page.) These are pre-greased and initially worn-in at the factory. Normally greasing is not required, except for maintaining a light film of grease on the pad tracking areas of the boom sections. An exception would be if a boom section has been replaced.
Visually check for loose pad bolts. The bolts are torqued to 30 ft.-lbs. (40 Nm). If the bolts are re­torqued at any time, Loctite® 271 (red) thread lock must be re-applied to the bolts.
If the boom starts to chatter under load, grease the slide pads and wipe off the excess grease. Maintain a clear­ance of 1/16” between the top or side slide pads and the

ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)
Engine diagnostic trouble codes are displayed in the multi-function display screen.
Diagnostic trouble codes are displayed as a two-part code: Suspect Parameter Number (SPN) and Failure Mode Identifier (FMI), as shown on the following table.
The first part is a Suspect Parameter Number (SPN) followed by a Failure Mode Identifier (FMI). To deter­mine the exact type of failure, both parts (SPN and FMI) of the code are needed.
The SPN identifies the system or the component that has the failure; for example, SPN 000110 indicates a failure in the engine coolant temperature sensor.
The FMI identifies the type of failure that has occurred; for example, FMI 03 indicates a value above normal. Combining SPN 000110 with FMI 03 means the engine coolant temperature input voltage is too high. This example would display in the multi-function display as error code 000110-03.
Always contact your servicing engine dealer for help in correcting the diagnostic trouble codes that are dis­played for the engine.
The fault code listing in the following tables are in ascending SPN/FMI codes.
