INTRODUCTION
The information in this Operator's Manual was written to give the owner/operator assistance in preparing, adjusting,
maintaining and servicing
of
the Loader. More importantly, this manual provides an operating plan for safe and proper
use
of
the machine. Major points
of
safe operation are detailed in the
SAFETY
chapter
of
this manual. A chart
of
standard
hardware torques
is
located in the back
of
this manual.
The
GEHL

you
read
and
understand
the
contents
of
this
manual
COMPLETELY
and
become
familiar
with
your

BEFORE
attempting
to
operate
it.
Throughout this manual, information
is
provided which is set in italic type and introduced by the word
NOTE.
Be sure to read carefully and comply with the message or directive given. Following this information will improve your operating or maintenance efficiency, help you to avoid breakdowns or damage and extend your machine's life.
A plastic container
is
provided on the unit for storing the Operator's Manual. After using the Manual, please return it to
the container and keep it with the unit at all times!
If
this machine
is
resold, GEHL Company recommends that this
Manual be given
to
the new owner.
"Right" and "left" are determined from a position sitting on the Seat and facing forward. From this position:
If
your
Loader is T-Bar Controlled: the Propulsion (Traction) Control T-Bar is on the "left" and the Liftffilt Control
T-Bar
is
on the "right".
If
your
Loader is Hand/Foot Controlled: The "left" T-Bar controls the Propulsion (Traction) on the left side
of
the
machine. The
"right"
T-
Bar controls Propulsion (Traction) on the right side
of
the machine. The "leji" Foot Pedal controls
the Lift. The
"right" Foot Pedal controls the Tilt.
Our wide Dealership network stands by to provide you with any assistance you may require, including genuine
GEHL
service parts. All parts should be obtained from or ordered through your GEHL Dealer. Give complete information about the
PaIt and include the model and serial numbers
of

The above Safety Alert Symbol means
ATTENTION!
BECOME
ALERT!
YOUR
SAFETY
IS
IN-
VOLVED! 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
ATTEMPT
TO
OPERATE
THIS
EQUIPMENT,
READ
AND
STUDY
THE
FOL-
LOWING
SAFETY
INFORMATION.
IN
ADDI-
TION,
MAKE
SURE
THAT
EVERY
INDIVIDUAL
WHO
OPERATES
OR
WORKS
WITH
THIS
EQUIPMENT,
WHETHER
FAMILY
MEMBER
OR
EMPLOYEE,
IS
FAMILIAR
WITH
THESE
SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS.
Our Company ALWAYS takes the operator's safety into consideration when designing its machinery, and guards exposed moving parts for the operator's pro­tection. However, some areas can NOT be guarded or shielded in order to assure proper operation. In addi­tion, this Operator's Manual, and Decals on the ma­chine, warn
of
further danger and should be read and
observed closely.
DAN
ER
"DANGER" indicates
an
imminently hazardous
situation which,
if
not avoided, will result
in
death or serious injury.
WARNING
"WARNING" indicates a potentially hazardous situ-
ation which,
if
not avoided, could result
in
death
or
serious injury.
CAUTI
N
"CAUTION"
indicates a potentially
hazard­ous situation which, if not avoided, may result in
minor
or
moderate
injury. May also
alert
against unsafe practices.
10
MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
BEFORE
unclogging, cleaning, adjusting, lubricat-
ing or servicing the unit:
1. Move the Propulsion Control T-bar(s)
to
the "neutral"
position.
2. Lower the Lift Arm and Attachment completely.
Also, see Step 5, below.
3. Move the Throttle
to
the low idle position, shut the
Engine off and remove the
Key.
4. Apply the Parking Brake.
S.
If
the Lift Arm MUST be left
in
the "raised" position,
BE SURE
to
properly engage the Lift Cylinder Me-
chanical Lock instead
of
performing step
2.
ONLY when you have taken these precautions can
you be sure it is safe to proceed. Failure to follow the above procedure, could lead to death or serious injury.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY REMINDERS
e
Some
photographs
in this manual may
show Doors, Guards and Shields open or removed for illustrative purposes
ONLY.
BE SURE that all Doors, Guards and Shields are in their proper operating positions BEFORE starting the engine to operate the unit.
e To ensure safe operation, replace damaged
or worn-out parts with genuine Gehl service parts, BEFORE attempting to operate this equipment.
e GEHL Skid Loaders are designed and intended to
be used ONLY with GEHL Company Attachments or
approved Referral Attachments. The GEHL Company can NOT be responsible for operator safety
if
the Loader is used with a non-approved
Attachment.
SA
ETV
(CONTINUED)
The stability
of
a Skid Loader is determined by its short wheel base. The following elements: the terrain,
Engine
speed,
load
being
carried
or dumped, and/or abrupt Control movements, can affect stability.
IF
MISUSED, ANY
OF
THE
ABOVE
FACTORS
CAN
CAUSE
THE LOADER TO TIP, THROWING YOU FOR­WARD
OR
OUT
OF
THE
UNIT, CAUSING
DEATH
OR
SERIOUS INJURY. Therefore,
ALWAYS have the Operator Restraint Bar
"low-
ered"
and wear the Seat Belt. Operate the Controls smoothly and gradually at an appropriate Engine speed which matches the operating conditions.
For additional stability when operating on inclines or ramps, ALWAYS travel with the heavier end
of
the Loader to the top
of
the incline.
NEVER attempt to by-pass the Keyswitch to start the Loader Engine. Only use the jump-starting procedure detailed in the service chapter
of
this
manual.
Do NOT attempt to remove the Radiator Cap after the Engine has reached operating temperature or has overheated because the Engine Coolant will be extremely
HOT
and under pressure. ALWAYS wait for the Engine to cool down BEFORE at­tempting to relieve pressure and remove the Ra­diator Cap. Failure to heed could result in severe burns.
NEVER use your hands to search for hydraulic fluid leaks, use a piece
of
paper or cardboard. Escaping fluid under pressure can be invisible and can penetrate the skin and cause a 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.
ALWAYS
wear safety glasses with side shields when striking metal against metal. In addition, it is also recommended that a softer (non-chipable material) be used to cushion the blow. Failure
to heed could lead to serious injury to the eyes or other parts
of
the body.
DO NOT raise or drop a loaded Bucket or Fork suddenly. Abrupt movements under load can cause serious instability.
DO
NOT push the Lift Control all the way forward
(into the
"float"
position) with the Attachment
loaded and the Lift Arm raised as this will cause
the Lift Arm to drop, very rapidly.
DO NOT drive too close to an excavation
or
ditch;
BE SURE that the surrounding ground has ade-
quate strength to support the weight
of
the Loader
and the load.
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.
