CHAPTER 2
SAFETY
This 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 decals on the machine.
Before operating this machine, read and study the follo wing safety information.
For further reference on the safe operation of skid-steer lo aders, Gehl Company
suggests that equipment owners obtain the Gehl “Skid-Steer Loader Safety”
video, which is available through Gehl dealers. In addition, be sure that everyone
who operates or works with this machine, whether family member or employee,
is familiar with these safety precautions. It is essential to have competent and
careful operators, who are not physically or mentally impaired, and who are thoroughly trained in the safe operation of the machine and the handling of loads. It is
recommended that the operator be capable of obtaining a valid motor vehicle
operator’s license.
The use of skid-steer loaders is subject to certain hazards that cannot be eliminated
by mechanical means, but only by exercising intelligence, care and common sense.
Such hazards include, but are not limited to, hillside operation, overloading, instability of the load, poor maintenance and using the equipment for a purpose for
which it is not intended or designed.
Gehl 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 decals on the machine warn of additional hazards and they should be read and observed closely.
Some photographs in this manual may show doors, guards and shields open or
removed for illustrative purpose s only. Be sure that all doors, guards and shields
are in their proper operating positions before starting the engine to operate the
unit.
Different applications may require optional safety equipment, such as a back-up
alarm, mirror, strobe light or an impact-resistant front door. Be sure you know
the job site hazards and equip your machine as needed.
“DANGER” indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
“WARNING” indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
“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. Lower the lift arm and attachment completely. If the lift arm must be left in
the raised position, BE SURE to properly engage the lift arm support dev ice
(page 20).
3. Move the throttle to the low idle p osition, shut off the engine and rem ove the
key.
4. Before exiting, move the lift/tilt cont rol(s) to verify that the controls do not
cause movement of the lift arm or attachment.
Safety Reminders
Before Starting
¾ Do not modify the ROPS/FOPS unless instructed to do so in installation
instructions. 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.
¾ To ensure safe operation, replace damaged or worn-out parts with genuine
Gehl service parts.
¾ Gehl skid-steer loaders are designed and intended to be used only with Gehl
attachments or approved referral attachments. Gehl cannot be responsible for
operator safety if the loader is used with a non-approve d at tachment.
¾ Remove all trash and debris from the machine each day, especially in the
engine compartment, to minimize the risk of fire.
¾ Always face the loader and use the handholds and steps when getting on and
off the loader. Do not jump off the loader.
¾ Never use starting fluid (ether).
¾ Walk around the machine an d warn all nearby personnel before starting the
machine.
¾ Always perform a daily inspection of the machine before using it. Look for
damage, loose or missing parts, leaks, etc.
917334/BP0310 7
During Operation
¾ Machine stability is affected by: the load being carried, the height of the load,
machine speed, abrupt control movements and driving over uneven terrain.
DISREGARDING ANY OF THESE FACTORS CAN CAUSE THE
LOADER TO TIP, THROWING THE OPERATOR OUT OF THE
SEAT OR LOADER, RESULTING IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Therefore: ALWAYS operate with the seatbelt fastened and the restraint bar
lowered. Do not exceed the machine’s Rated Operating Load. Carry the load
low. Move the controls smoothly and gradually, and operate at speeds appropriate for the conditions.
¾ When operating on inclines or ramps, always travel with the heavier end of
the loader toward the top of the incline for additional stability.
¾ Do not raise or drop a loaded bucket or fork suddenly. Abrupt movements
under load can cause serious instability.
¾ Never activate the float function with the bucket or attachment loaded or
raised, because this will cause the arm to lower rapidly.
¾ 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 loader and the load.
¾ Never carry riders. Do not allow others to ride on the machine or attachments,
because they could fall or cause an accident.
¾ Always look to the rear before backing up the skid-steer loader.
¾ Operate the controls only from the operator’s seat.
¾ Always keep hands and feet inside the operator ’s compartment while oper-
ating the machine.
¾ New operators must operate the loader in an open area away from bystanders.
Practice with the controls until the loader can be operated safely and
efficiently.
¾ Always wear safety goggles, ear and head protection while operating the
machine. Operator must wear protective clothing when appropriate.
¾ Exhaust fumes can kill. Do not operate this machine in an enclosed area
unless there is adequate ventilation.
¾ When you park the machine and before you leave the seat, check the restraint
bar for proper operation. The restraint bar , when raised, deactivates the lift/tilt
controls and auxiliary hydraulics, and applies the parking brake.
Maintenance
¾ Never attempt to by-pass the keyswitch to start the engine. Use only the jump
starting procedure detailed in the Operation chapter of this manual.
¾ Never use your hands to search for hydraulic fluid leaks. Inst ead, use a piece
of paper or cardboard. Escaping fluid under pressure can b e invisible and can
penetrate the skin and cause serious injury. If any fluid is injected into your
skin, see a doctor at once. Injected fluid must be surgically removed by a
doctor or gangrene may result.
8 917334/BP0310
¾ Always wear safety glasses with side shields when striking metal against
metal. In addition, it is recommended that a softer (chip-resistant) m aterial be
used to cushion the blow. Failure to heed could lead to serious injury to the
eyes or other parts of the body.
¾ Do not smoke or have any spark-producing equipment in the area while filling
the fuel tank or while working on the fuel or hydraulic systems.
Potential Hazards
A skid-steer loader operator must ALWAYS be conscious of the work ing environment. Operator actions, environmental conditions and the job being done
require the full attention of the operator so that safety precautions can be taken.
ALWAYS maintain a safe distance from electric power lines and avoid contact
with any electrically charged conductor or gas line. Accidental contact or rupture
can result in electrocution or an explosion. Contact the North American One-Call
Referral System at: 1-888-258-0808 for the local “Digger's Hotline” numb er or
the proper local authorities for utility line locations BEFORE starting to dig!
Exposure to crystalline silica (found in sand, soil and rocks) has b een associated
with silicosis, a debilitating and often fatal lung disease. A Hazard Review
(Pub. No. 2002-129) by the U.S. National Institute fo r Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH) indicates a significant risk of chronic silicosis for workers
exposed to inhaled crystalline silica over a working lifetime. NIOSH recommends an exposure limit of 0.05 mg/m
3
as a time-weighted average for up to a
10-hr workday during a 40-hr workweek. NIOSH also recommends substituting
less hazardous materials when feasible, using respiratory protect ion and regular
medical examinations for exposed workers.
Safety Decals
The skid-steer loader has decals that provide safety information and precautions
around the loader. These decals must be kept legible. If missing or illegible, they
must be replaced promptly. Replacements can be obtained from your Gehl
dealer. New equipment must have all decals specified by the manufacturer
affixed in their proper locations.
New Decal Application
Surfaces must be free of dirt, dust, grease and foreign material before applying
the decal. Remove the smaller portion of the decal backing paper and apply the
exposed adhesive to the clean surface, maintaining proper position and alignment. Peel the rest of the backing paper and ap ply hand pressure to smooth out
the decal surface. Refer to the following pages for proper decal locations. Text
decals begin on page 9; no-text decals begin on page 12.

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 operat ion 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 formin g an interlock for the lift arm, tilt, drive and starter circuits
(refer to the Safety Interlo ck Syste m topic on page 18 for more information).
Never defeat the operator restraint bar or seat
switch electrically or mechanically. Always
wear your seatbelt.
CAUTION
WARNING
WARNING
18 917334/BP0310
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.
Upper-Torso Restraint
ALWAYS wear the upper-torso restraint when
operating skid-steer.
The seat belt should always be fastened during operation.
Important: Inspect the seat belt(s) for damage before use, and replace if damaged. Keep seatbelt(s) clean. Use only soap and water to wash seat belt(s).
Cleaning solvents can cause damage to seatbelt(s).
Safety Interlock System
NEVER defeat the safety interlock system by
mechanically or electrically bypassing any
switches, relays or solenoid valves.
An interlock system is used on the loader for operator safety. Together with
solenoid valves, switches and relays, the interlock system:
¾ Prevents the engine from starting unless the operator is sitting on the seat and
the operator restraint bar is down.
¾ Disables the lift arm, attachment tilt and wheel drives when the operator
leaves the seat, turns the keyswitch to OFF or raises the restraint bar.
¾ Disables auxiliary hydraulic system when the restraint bar is raised or the

Lift Arm Support Device
The lift arm support device on the left lift cylinder is used as a cylinder lock to
prevent the raised lift arm from unexpectedly lowering. Be sure to engage the
support device when the lift arm is raised for service. When the support device is
not being used, store it under the lift arm using the lock pin. The support device is
a safety device that must be kept in proper operating condition at all times. The
following steps ensure correct usage:
The safest method of engaging the lif t arm support device requires two people – one person
inside the loader and another person to engage the support de vice.
Note: With the keyswitch OFF and the solenoid valve working, the lift arm will
stay raised when the lift control is moved to lower the lift arm. If the valve does
not hold the lift 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 immediately to determine why the lift arm lowers while the keyswitch
is OFF.
