Chapter 1INTRODUCTION
The information in this Operator’s Manual was written to give the owner/operator assistance in preparing, adjust-ing, maintaining and servicing of the Telescopic Handler. More important, this manual provides an operating planfor safe and proper use of the machine. Major points of safe operation are detailed in the SAFETY chapter of thismanual.
GEHL Company asks that you read and understand the contents of this manualCOMPLETELY, and become familiar with the machine before operating it.
This Telescopic Handler is primarily intended for use as a material handler. However, it may be equipped with anoptional system: the Personnel Work Platform (PWP) System, which is intended for use when lifting personnel.When there is no other practical option available, this machine, when equipped with the PWP System, is approvedfor use to lift personnel, but only with an approved work platform, with the PWP System activated, and in full com-pliance with the “Mandatory Work Platform Safety Rules” (see SAFETY chapter).
The use of this Telescopic Handler is subject to certain hazards that cannot be eliminated by mechanical means,but only by the exercise of intelligence, care and common sense. It is therefore essential to have competent andcareful operators, who are not physically or mentally impaired, and who are thoroughly trained in the safe opera-tion of the equipment and the handling of the loads.
Throughout this manual information is provided that is set in italic type and introduced by the word IMPORTANTor NOTE. Be sure to read carefully and comply with the message or directive given. Following this informationwill improve operating and maintenance efficiency, help to avoid breakdowns and damage, and extend themachine’s life. A chart of standard hardware torques is located in the back of this manual.
A storage pocket in the back of the seat is provided for storing the Operator’s Manual. After using the manual,please return it to the pocket and keep it with the unit at all times! If this machine is resold, GEHL Company rec-ommends that this manual be given to the new owner.
If this machine was purchased “used,” or if the owner’s address has changed, please provide your GEHL dealer orGEHL Company Service Department with the owner’s name and current address, along with the machine modeland serial number. This will allow the registered owner information to be updated, so that the owner can be noti-fied directly in case of an important product issue, such as a safety update program.
“Right” and “left” are determined from a position sitting on the seat and facing forward.
The wide GEHL dealership network stands ready to provide any assistance that may be required, including gen-uine GEHL service parts. All parts should be obtained from or ordered through your GEHL dealer. Give completeinformation about the part and include the model and serial number of the machine. Record the serial number inthe space provided on the previous page, as a handy record for quick reference.
GEHL Company reserves the right to make changes or improvements in the design or construction of any partwithout incurring the obligation to install such changes on any unit previously delivered.
GEHL Company, in cooperation with the Society of AutomotiveEngineers, has adopted this
Safety Alert Symbolto identify potential safety hazards, which, if not properly avoided, couldresult in injury. When you see this symbol in this manual or on themachine itself, you are reminded to BE ALERT! Your personal safety isinvolved!

SAFETY
WARNINGU.S. OSHA regulations require employers ingeneral industry and the construction, ship-yard and cargo-handling industries (exceptingagricultural operations) to ensure that forkliftoperators are competent, as demonstrated bysuccessful completion of a training course.
The training course must consist of a combi-nation of formal instruction and practicaltraining, including both forklift-related andworkplace-related topics, and evaluation ofthe operator’s performance in the workplace.
All operator training and evaluation is to beconducted by persons who have the know-ledge, training and experience to train andevaluate operators.
Additional Safety RemindersUser/operator safety practices, as established byindustry standards, are included in this Operator’sManual and intended to promote safe operation ofthe machine. These guidelines do not, of course,preclude the use of good judgment, care and com-mon sense that may be necessary for the particularjobsite conditions.
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 themachine. Such training should be presented com-pletely to all new operators and not condensed forthose claiming previous experience. Informationon operator training is available from severalsources, including the manufacturer.
Some illustrations used in this manual may showdoors, guards and shields open or removed forillustration purposes ONLY. BE SURE that alldoors, guards and shields are in their proper oper-ating positions BEFORE starting the engine.
Before Operation Safety RemindersCheck brakes, steering, and hydraulic system priorto starting operation. Operate all controls to ensureproper operation. Observe all gauges and indica-tors for proper operation. If any malfunctions arefound, correct the cause prior to using the machine.ALWAYS wear appropriate personal protectiveequipment for the job and working conditions.Hard hats, goggles, protective shoes, gloves,reflector-type vests, respirators and ear protectionare examples of types of equipment that may berequired. DO NOT wear loose fitting clothing,long hair, jewelry or loose personal items whileoperating or servicing the machine.
ALWAYS check the job site for terrain hazards,obstructions and people. Remove all objects thatdo not belong in or on the machine and its equip-ment.
WARNING
ALWAYS maintain a safe distance from elec-tric power lines and avoid contact with anyelectrically charged conductor or gas line. It isnot necessary to make direct contact with apower line for power to ground through thestructure of the machine. Keep the boom andload at least 10 ft. (3 m) from all power lines.Accidental contact or rupture can result inelectrocution or an explosion. Contact theNorth American One-Call Referral System at(888) 258-0808 for the local “Digger’s Hotline”number or proper local authorities for utilityline locations BEFORE starting to dig!

- DO NOT jump!- Hold on tight and stay with the machine!- Lean away from the fall!
ALWAYS keep hands, feet and arms inside of theoperator’s station when operating the machine!
DO NOT depend on the backup alarm to clearbystanders out of the path of the machine.ALWAYS look in the direction of travel. Look tothe rear before backing.
ALWAYS use the recommended handholds andsteps with at least three points of support when get-ting on and off the machine. Keep steps and plat-form clean. Face the machine when climbing upand down.
DO NOT raise or drop a loaded fork or bucket sud-denly. Abrupt movements under load can causeserious instability.
Study the load charts carefully. They show maxi-mum capacity to be lifted and placed at specific
outward and upward distances. ALWAYS be awareof load weights prior to attempting lift and place-ment.
DO NOT exceed the machine’s rated operatingcapacity for the type of attachment tool being used.
DO NOT allow minors or any unqualified person-nel to operate or be near the machine unless prop-erly supervised.
DO NOT start the engine or operate any controlsunless properly seated in the operator’s seat!
DO NOT run the engine in an enclosed area with-out providing proper ventilation for the exhaust.Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an odor-less and deadly gas. Internal combustion enginesdeplete the oxygen supply within enclosed spacesand may create a serious hazard unless the oxygenis replaced. This includes the atmosphere withinthe cab when provided.
DO NOT leave the operator’s station with theboom and attachment tool raised. ALWAYS lowerthe boom and attachment tool to the ground, shutoff the engine and engage the park brake BEFOREleaving the operator’s station.
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 machineand the load it is carrying.

PRINTED IN U.S.A. 13 908478/DP0307
If necessary to park on a grade, park across theslope and block the tires.
Servicing Safety RemindersALWAYS be aware of and avoid pinch point areason the machine, such as wheels-to-frame, cylin-ders-to-frame, and boom-attachment-tool-to-frame.
NEVER attempt to by-pass the keyswitch to startthe engine. ONLY use the jump-starting proceduredetailed in the Service and Storage chapter.
NEVER use your hands to search for hydraulicfluid leaks. Instead use a piece of paper or card-board. Escaping fluid under pressure can be invis-ible and can penetrate the skin, causing seriousinjury. If any fluid is injected into your skin, see adoctor at once. Injected fluid MUST be surgicallyremoved by a doctor familiar with this type ofinjury or gangrene may result.
ALWAYS wear safety glasses with side shieldswhen striking metal against metal. In addition, it isalso recommended that a softer (chip-resistant)material be used to cushion the blow. Failure toheed could lead to serious injury to the eyes orother parts of the body.
DO NOT refill the fuel tank when the engine ishot. Allow engine to cool down BEFORE refillingto prevent the hot engine from igniting the fuel if itshould spill or splash.
DO NOT smoke while filling the fuel tank, whileworking on the fuel or hydraulic systems, or whileworking around the battery.
DO NOT fill the fuel tank completely. Allow roomfor expansion. Maintain control of the fuel fillernozzle when filling the tank. Use the correct fuelgrade for the operating season.
NEVER use fuel for cleaning purposes.
DO NOT remove the radiator cap after the enginehas reached operating temperature or if it is over-heated. At operating temperatures, the engine
coolant will be extremely hot and under pressure.ALWAYS wait for the engine to cool down beforeattempting to relieve pressure and remove the radi-ator cap. Failure to heed this warning could resultin severe burns.
DO NOT loosen or disconnect any hydraulic lines,hoses or fittings without first relieving hydrauliccircuit pressure. Also, be careful not to touch anyhydraulic components that have been in recentoperation, because they can be extremely hot andcan burn you!

GENERAL INFORMATION
ENGINE BREAK-IN
Your new engine does not require extensive “break-in.” However, for the first 100 hours of operation:Allow the engine to idle for a few minutes after everycold start, DO NOT idle the engine for long periods oftime, DO NOT operate the engine at maximum powerfor long periods of time, and check the oil level fre-quently, and replenish as necessary with the oil speci-fied in the engine manual.
John Deere engines use a “break-in” oil for the first100 hours of operation. After the first 100 hours ofoperation, change the oil and replace the oil filter.Consult the Lubrication chapter or the engine manualfor the type of oil to use in the engine. Refer to theService and Storage chapter for the proper serviceintervals.
PRE-START INSPECTION
Every Pre-start Inspection must include more thanchecking the fuel and oil levels. It is the operator’sresponsibility to inspect the machine before the start ofeach workday. It is also a good practice to personallyinspect any machine you are assigned to use, even if ithas already been checked and put into service by otherpersonnel.
The most efficient method of checking a machine is byconducting a “Walk-Around Inspection.”
The Pre-start Inspection and Daily MaintenanceHandbook provided with your Telescopic Handler canbe used as a guide for the “Walk-Around Inspection.”
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
Before starting the engine and running the machine,refer to the Indicators and Controls chapter and famil-iarize yourself with the various operating controls,indicators and safety features.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Before mounting the operator’s compartment, walkcompletely around the machine to be sure no one isunder, on, or close to it. Let others in the area knowyou are going to start the machine, and wait untileveryone is clear.
The following procedure is recommended for startingthe engine:
1. Grasp the hand holds and step up into the opera-tor’s compartment.
2. Adjust the seat and fasten the seatbelt.3. Check that all controls are in their “neutral” posi-
tions, except the parking brake switch, whichshould be in the “ON” position.
4. Adjust the position of the steering wheel tilt con-sole to provide comfortable handling.
5. Turn the keyswitch to “ON” position and press thestart button. If the button is released before theengine starts, turn the keyswitch to “OFF” posi-tion, and allow the starter to stop before attemptingto start the engine again.
IMPORTANT: Crank the starter until the engine isstarted. If the engine fails to start within 30 sec-onds, return the key to the “OFF” position, waittwo minutes, and try to restart the engine.Cranking the engine for longer than 30 secondswill result in premature failure of the starter.
CAUTIONBEFORE starting the engine and operating theTelescopic Handler, review and comply withALL safety recommendations in the SAFETYchapter of this manual. Know how to STOP themachine before starting it. Also, BE SURE tofasten and properly adjust the seatbelt.
WARNINGALWAYS fasten the seatbelt BEFORE startingthe engine. Leave the park brake “engaged”until the engine is running and you are readyto operate the machine.

PRINTED IN U.S.A. 35 908478/DP0307
6. After the engine starts, allow a 1-2 minute warm-up time before attempting to operate the controls.
7. Check that indicators are in their normal operatingcondition.
8. Verify that there are no fuel, oil or engine coolantleaks, and no abnormal noises or vibrations.
COLD STARTING PROCEDURESA block heater or lower radiator hose heater is recom-mended for starting in temperatures of 20° F (-7° C) orlower. See your Gehl dealer for recommended heater.
If prevailing temperature is 40° F (4° C) or below, itmay be necessary to use a cold weather starting aid tostart the diesel engine. For proper use of starting aids,check the instructions in the engine manual.If the battery becomes discharged and has insufficientpower to start the engine, jumper cables can be usedfor starting assistance. Refer to the jump startinginstructions in the Service and Storage chapter of thismanual for safe jump-start procedure.
STOPPINGThe following procedure is the recommendedsequence for stopping the machine:1. Bring the machine to a stop on a level surface.
Avoid parking on a slope, but if necessary parkacross the slope and block the tires.
2. Fully retract the boom and lower the attachment tothe ground. Idle the engine for gradual cooling.
3. Place controls in neutral. Set the parking brakeswitch to “ON.”
4. Turn the keyswitch key to the “OFF” position.Remove the key.
5. Unfasten the seatbelt, and grasp the hand holdswhile climbing out of the operator’s compartment.
FIRST TIME OPERATIONMake sure the engine is warm and then go through thefollowing procedures.
Place the travel lever in a speed range and in Forwardor Reverse. Turn off the parking brake switch andmove slowly, while testing the steering and brakes.Stop and operate all boom functions and frame level-ing controls, checking for smooth responses.
Apply the service brakes, and move the travel lever tothe opposite direction (forward or reverse).
Shifting to the next higher gear may be done at anyengine speed while the machine is in motion.
DO NOT overspeed the engine when down shifting.Allow the machine to slow down before shifting to thenext lower gear.
ENGINE SHUTDOWN PROTECTION
NOTE: Only machines that have the engine faultshutdown override switch described on page 27have this feature.Engines equipped with a WARNING and SHUT-DOWN feature warn users of low engine oil pressureand of high engine coolant temperature. If the problemis not corrected, the engine power will be reducedautomatically, or the engine will shut down.
Engine Oil Pressure
There are two low oil pressure protection features:Low Oil Pressure WARNING, and Low Oil PressureSHUTDOWN.
At the Low Oil Pressure WARNING set-point, thewarning lamp in the engine override switch will flash,and a slow engine power derate will begin. But if theoil pressure rises above the Low Oil Pressure WARN-ING set-point, power will slowly increase until theengine is back to full power. The lamp will continue toflash until the power has returned to normal, even if thefault condition has been corrected and the recovery isin process.
At the Low Oil Pressure SHUTDOWN set-point, thewarning lamp in the engine override switch will lightcontinuously, and a fast engine power derate willbegin. If the oil pressure does not rise above theSHUTDOWN set-point within 30 seconds, the enginewill shut down. However, if the oil pressure risesabove the Low Oil Pressure SHUTDOWN set-pointwithin 30 seconds, then the power derate speed willrevert to the Low Oil Pressure WARNING speed ofreaction.
CAUTIONBe sure the area being used for test-running isclear of spectators and obstructions. Initially,operate the machine with an empty attach-ment tool.
908478/DP0307 36 PRINTED IN U.S.A.
Engine Coolant Temperature
There are two coolant temperature protection features:High Coolant Temperature WARNING, and HighCoolant Temperature SHUTDOWN.
At the High Coolant Temperature WARNING set-point, the warning lamp in the engine override switchwill flash, and a slow engine power derate will begin.But if the coolant temperature drops below the HighCoolant Temperature WARNING set-point, the powerwill increase slowly until the engine is back to fullpower. The lamp will continue to flash until the powerhas returned to normal, even if the fault condition hasbeen corrected and the recovery is in process.
At the High Coolant Temperature SHUTDOWN set-point, the warning lamp in the engine override switchwill light continuously, and a fast engine power deratewill begin. If the coolant temperature does not dropbelow the SHUTDOWN set-point within 30 seconds,the engine will shut down. However, if the coolanttemperature drops below the High CoolantTemperature SHUTDOWN set-point within 30 sec-onds, then the power derate speed will revert to theHigh Coolant Temperature WARNING reaction speed.
PARKING BRAKE
NOTE: The parking brake mechanism within thefront axle is not designed for, and not intended tobe used as, the primary means of stopping move-ment of the machine. Hydraulic braking providedthrough the service brakes within the axle is theprimary means for stopping movement.
The proper sequence for correct machine operation isto always engage the parking brake switch before shut-ting off the engine, and to disengage the brake ONLYafter the engine is running. In an emergency however,if it becomes necessary to stop movement, activate theparking brake switch to “ON.”

Traffic Flow Patterns
For safety, know and understand the traffic flow pat-terns of your jobsite and the Telescopic Handler handsignals. Use signal persons and make sure you can seethe signal person and acknowledge the signals given.
Grade and Slope Precautions
The Telescopic Handler complies with industry stabil-ity tests requirements and is stable when properly oper-ated. However, improper operation, faulty mainte-nance, or poor housekeeping may contribute to a con-dition of instability and defeat the purpose of the stan-dard.
The amount of forward and rearward tilt to be used isgoverned by the application. Although use of maxi-mum rearward tilt is allowable under certain condi-tions, such as traveling with the load fully lowered, thestability of the machine, as determined by the industrystandard tests, does not encompass consideration forexcessive tilt at high elevations, or the handling of off-center loads.
Handle only loads within the capacity limits of themachine, and that are stable and safely arranged. Whenattachments are used, extra care should be taken insecuring, manipulating, positioning and transportingthe load.
Grade Limits
NOTE: Grade limits are based on ANSI/ITSDFstandard B56.6-2005.
The telescopic handler meets or exceeds the safetystandard (ANSI/ITSDF B56.6) stability limits forrough terrain forklifts. The stability tipping limitscover specific, controlled test conditions, which areextremes, and which are not intended to be achievedduring normal worksite operations. The followingspecifications are provided only as information to theoperator, and must not be used as a guideline for oper-ating the telescopic handler. For safe operation,always follow the instructions and warnings providedin this manual.

WARNINGExcessive speed can be hazardous. ALWAYSexercise caution and good judgement whileoperating the machine.
The Mandatory Work Platform Safety Rulesmust be adhered to at all times while elevatingpersonnel.
ALWAYS maintain a safe distance from elec-tric power lines and avoid contact with anyelectrically charged conductor and gas line. Itis not necessary to make direct contact with apower line for power to ground through thestructure of the machine. Keep the boom andload at least 10 ft. (3 m) from all power lines.Accidental contact or rupture can result inelectrocution or an explosion. Contact theNorth American One-Call Referral System at(888) 258-0808 for the local “Digger’s Hotline”number or proper local authorities for utilityline locations BEFORE starting to dig!
Keep all body parts inside the operator’s sta-tion while operating the machine. BE SURE ofclearance for the attachment tool when turn-ing, 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 machinemay cause the load to fall off the attachmenttool.
Be certain you can control both speed anddirection before moving. Always place themachine in neutral and set the parking brakebefore raising or extending the boom. NEVERdrive the machine up to someone standing infront of the load.
NEVER leave the operator’s station withoutfirst lowering the attachment tool to theground. Set the parking brake, place controlsin neutral, shut off engine and remove the key.AVOID parking the machine on a slope, but ifnecessary, park across the slope and blockthe tires.
The backup alarm automatically sounds when the trav-el lever is in Reverse. Care should be taken when downshifting or reversing because damage to the transmis-sion can occur if shifting is forced or attempted whiletraveling.
When ramps must be used in transporting loads withthe machine, the following shall be the minimumwidths for safe travel:
Compacted dirt, gravel, etc. - 12 ft. (3.6 m)Woodboard, concrete, etc. - 10 ft. (3 m)
Permanent aisles, roadways, passageways, floors andramps should be marked or defined in some fashion.Permanent or temporary protrusion of loads, equip-ment, material and construction facilities into the usualoperating area should be guarded, clearly and distinc-tively marked, or clearly visible.
Maintain a safe distance from the edge of ramps, plat-forms and other similar working surfaces.
Controlled lighting of adequate intensity should beprovided in operating areas. Where operating condi-tions indicate, the operator/user is responsible for hav-ing the machine equipped with lights.
Provision should be made to prevent trucks, semi-trail-ers and railroad cars from being moved during loadingand unloading. Wheel stops, parking brakes, or otherpositive means should be used to prevent movementduring loading and unloading.
DO NOT move railroad cars or trailers with theTelescopic Handler.
DO NOT use the boom and attachment for leverage topush the machine out of mud.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT lower boom at highengine speed when attachment tool is at maxi-mum rearward tilt. Damage to slave cylinders mayresult.
GENERAL LOAD HANDLING
NEVER attempt to work controls except from theoperator’s seat. NEVER jerk or use fast movements.Avoid sudden stops, starts and changes in direction.
Operation of the hydraulic system depends on enginespeed and the distance the controls are moved. Whenoperating these controls it is important to develop atechnique called “feathering.” Feathering the controlmeans starting the desired motion by moving the con-
trol a small amount away from neutral. Then, aftermovement has started, the control can be eased to fullmovement. Use the same feathering technique to stopthe motion.
PRINTED IN U.S.A. 41 908478/DP0307
Example: The operator, using a standard carriageattachment tool without outriggers, wants to raise a3000 lb. load 20 feet high, and can only get to within15 feet of the load placement point. Can it be donewithin the capacity of the machine?
Analysis: See “Typical Load Zone Chart” above.
Projecting up from the 15-foot reach mark on the hor-izontal axis to intersect a line through the 20-footheight mark on the vertical axis shows that up to a4000 lb. load can be placed in that zone.During placement, the operator should observe whenthe arc reference number “4” on the boom is visibleand stop. The operator knows the maximum safe dis-tance of extension with the 3000 lb. load has beenreached.

LIFTING ATTACHMENT TOOLAPPLICATIONS
Picking Up the Load
Inspect the load before picking it up. If it appearsunstable, DO NOT attempt to move it. DO NOTattempt lifting double-tiered loads, or straddling side-by-side pallets one on each fork. NEVER add extraunauthorized counterweights to the machine.
Approach the load squarely and slowly with themachine straight and level. Adjust the space betweenforks, if necessary. Engage the load equally on theforks until the load touches the carriage backrest. Tiltthe forks back to position the load for travel.
Carrying the Load
If the load obstructs the view, have a helper direct theoperator. Maintain ground speed consistent withground conditions and which permit stopping in a safemanner.
Load Elevation and Placement
For ground level load placement, be sure the areaunder the load and around the machine is clear ofequipment and personnel. Lower the load to theground, tilt the forks to the horizontal position, andthen carefully back away to disengage forks from theload.
For elevated or overhead placement, bring the machineas close as possible to the landing point, and then:
1. Level the machine BEFORE raising the load. Useextreme caution for high placement. Be sure per-sonnel are clear of the area where the load or themachine could tip or fall.
2. Set the parking brake, hold the service brake pedalin 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, featherthe boom control at minimum speed until the loadis slightly higher than the landing point.
4. Continue the feathering technique and lower theload into place.
5. Free the forks from the load by alternately retract-ing and raising the boom. If this process is not pos-sible, very slowly and carefully reverse the tele-scopic handler to free the forks from the load.
6. Lower the forks to travel height.
Installing a Personnel Work Platform (PWP)
1. Center the forks on the carriage, spaced apart tomatch the distance required to engage the PWP.
2. After the forks are fully engaged in the PWP,secure the PWP to the forks. This can be accom-plished by means of a retaining pin behind the heelof the forks as shown.
WARNINGOperating conditions such as slopes or softground can reduce the machine’s safe operat-ing capacity. Exceeding the capacity whenraising or extending the boom will cause themachine to tip forward.
WARNINGNEVER travel with the boom above the carryposition (attachment tool should be at mini-mum ground clearance). Boom should be fullyretracted.
Use lower gears when traveling down anincline. NEVER coast with the transmission inneutral. Travel up and down grades slowly.
DO NOT operate the machine on a slope orgrade that exceeds 22% or 12o.
WARNINGThe machine must not be used to lift or carrypersonnel or be fitted with any form of per-sonnel work platform unless fitted with theoptional PWP System.
If fitted with the PWP System, the MandatoryWork Platform Safety Rules (p. 14) must be fol-lowed at all times while lifting personnel.
PRINTED IN U.S.A. 43 908478/DP0307
3. Secure the forks from pivoting upward in case thePWP is lowered onto an obstruction. This can beaccomplished by using the chain supplied with thePWP, to secure the lower portion of the PWP to thebottom of the carriage, as shown.
4. On 40’, 42’ and 44’ models, connect the coiledwire from the remote shutdown switch to the con-nector on the end of the boom. Secure the remoteshutdown switch to the PWP using the strapattached to the switch, as shown below.
5. On 55’ models, the remote shutdown switch iswireless-operated. Secure the remote shutdownswitch to the PWP using the strap attached to theswitch, as shown below.
6. Secure the lanyard from the body harness to thePWP (or the boom). Each person in the PWP musthave a body harness with a lanyard attached to thePWP (or the boom).
Lifting Personnel
The Telescopic Handler is primarily intended for use asa material handler. It should only be used to lift per-sonnel if it is equipped with the (optional) PWPSystem when there is no other practical option. If thismachine is to be used to lift personnel, then use only anapproved work platform, lift personnel only with thePWP System activated, and follow the “MandatoryWork Platform Safety Rules” (p. 14, Safety chapter).
If the Telescopic Handler is equipped with a PWPSystem and is to be used for lifting personnel, the sys-tem must be activated, by the "PWP System" modeswitch, which is located in the left switch bank. Toactivate the system, press the top of the PWP rockerswitch, apply and hold the service brakes on for threeor more seconds. The system is activated when thelamp in the PWP rocker switch is on continuously.
WARNINGALWAYS check the PWP System for properoperation prior to use. (See page 55 for PWPSystem checking procedure.)

If the PWPbeing used does not offer means to secure thePWP to the forks and to secure the forks frompivoting, as shown in Steps 2 and 3, then analternate method must be used.
908478/DP0307 44 PRINTED IN U.S.A.
When the PWP System is active:
transmission is de-clutched into Neutral,parking brake is applied,rear axle stabilizer cylinder is locked,frame leveling speed is reduced,auxiliary hydraulic and carriage tilt and swingfunctions are disabled,machine inclination sensor is activated, withthe result that the Telescopic Handler must be levellaterally (side-to-side) and longitudinally (front-to-back) to the factory pre-set limits before the boomcontrol joystick will function, and(for 40’ 42’ and 44’ models) remote shutdownswitch is activated, meaning that the switch mustbe connected and in the “on” position for the boomcontrol joystick to function. Pressing the red but-ton will disengage the boom control joystick, andstop all platform movement. The remote shutdownswitch box is supplied with a coiled electricalcable, which must be connected to the outlet on thefront of the innermost boom section near the car-riage. The switch must be accessible to the plat-form personnel at all times when the platform is tobe moved.(for 55’ model) remote shutdown switch is activat-ed, meaning that the switch must be “on” for theboom control joystick to function. Pressing the redbutton will disengage the boom control joystickand stop all platform movement. The remote shut-down switch box is a wireless remote control, sothere is no direct connection to the TelescopicHandler. The switch must be accessible to the plat-form personnel at all times when the platform is tobe moved.
To de-activate the PWP system, apply the servicebrakes and press the bottom of the PWP System rock-er switch. The system is de-activated when the lamp inthe PWP System rocker switch is off.
NOTE: If the lamp in the PWP System rockerswitch is flashing, apply the service brakes untilthe lamp goes off.
Stabilizer System
This is an additional safety function while elevatingloads for placement. At a pre-determined boom angle,the stabilizer cylinder on the rear axle will lock up.When this happens, the parking brake activates and theframe leveling function slows down. Other than mov-ing the boom and slowly leveling the frame, themachine will not be able to move until the boom islowered below the pre-determined angle.
WARNINGThe machine becomes less stable as the loadis raised higher.
NEVER use frame leveling to position an ele-vated load. Always lower the load to theground and reposition the machine.
If a hydraulic boom circuit hose should breakwith the boom up, shut down the machine. DONOT attempt to bring down the boom or makerepairs. Call your Gehl dealer immediately.
As lift height increases, depth perceptiondecreases. High elevation placement mayrequire a signal person to guide the operator.
DO NOT ram the lift cylinders to the end of thestroke. The resulting jolt could spill the load.
The truss boom attachment tool should ONLYbe used to lift and place loads when themachine is in a stationary position. DO NOTuse to transport loads around the jobsite. Thiscan cause the load to swing, resulting in eitherthe load dropping or machine tipping over.
WARNINGIn an emergency, if the platform worker hasactivated the remote shut-off switch and thenis not able to re-activate the switch, such as ifthe worker fainted, then the TelescopicHandler operator is permitted to turn off thePWP System to regain control of the boomfunctions, in order to lower the work platformand come to the aid of the worker. But, under-stand this is only permitted in case of anemergency. Otherwise, the PWP System mustbe used at all times when there are workers onthe platform. This is the only exception!
PRINTED IN U.S.A. 45 908478/DP0307
SUSPENDED LOADS
DO NOT exceed the Telescopic Handler capacity asequipped for handling suspended loads. Only lift theload vertically and NEVER drag it horizontally. Usetag lines to restrain load swing whenever possible.
The handling of suspended loads by means of the trussboom or other similar device can introduce dynamicforces affecting the stability of the machine that are notconsidered in the stability criteria of industry test stan-dards. Grades and sudden starts, stops and turns cancause the load to swing and create a hazard.
Guidelines for “Free Rigging /Suspended Loads”
1. The rigging equipment must be in good conditionand comply with U.S. OSHA regulation 1910.184,“Slings,” or 1926.251, “Rigging equipment formaterial handling.”
2. The rigging equipment must be secured to theforks such that it cannot slip or slide either side-ways or fore and aft.
3. The capacity of the fork(s) and the machine(whichever is less) must not be exceeded.
4. The load center must remain at 24” (610 mm) orless.
5. No lifting of material may be done when anyone ison the load, rigging or forks.
6. Multiple pickup points on the load are preferred toprevent the load from rotating, but a single pickuppoint may be used if one or more tag lines are uti-lized. And, of course, the load must never be pos-tioned over personnel at any time.

CHECKING THE BATTERY
The battery furnished in the machine is a 12-volt, wet-cell battery.
The top of the battery must always be kept clean. Cleanthe battery with a brush dipped in an alkaline solution(ammonia or baking soda and water). After the foam-ing has stopped, flush the top of the battery with cleanwater. If the terminals and cable connection clamps arecorroded or have a buildup, disconnect the cables andclean the terminals and clamps with the same alkalinesolution. Wash hands after handling battery.
NOTE: The battery in this machine is warrantedby the supplier. See the punch tag on top of thebattery for warranty information.
WARNINGExplosive gas is produced while a battery is inuse or being charged. Keep flames and sparksaway from the battery. Make sure battery ischarged 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 orfabrics. If acid spills, follow these first aid tips:
1. IMMEDIATELY remove any clothing onwhich acid spills.
2. If acid contacts the skin, rinse the affectedarea with running water for 10 to 15 min-utes.
3. If acid comes in contact with the eyes,flood the eyes with running water for 10 to15 minutes. See a doctor at once. NEVERuse any medication or eye drops unlessprescribed by the doctor.
4. To neutralize acid spilled on the floor, useone of the following mixtures:
a. 1 pound (0.5 kg) of baking soda in 4quarts (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 (-) bat-tery terminal connection cable first.
WARNINGEscaping diesel fuel under pressure can havesufficient force to penetrate the skin. Beforeapplying pressure to the fuel system, BESURE all connections are tight and lines andhoses are not damaged. Use a piece of woodor cardboard to search for suspected leaks. Ifinjured by escaping fuel, see a doctor familiarwith this type of injury at once or gangrenemay result.

On the four-section boom, three chains are on the topfront of the boom. A fourth and fifth chains are acces-sible from the rear of the boom (see four-section boomillustration on next page).
Jump Starting
If the battery becomes discharged or does not haveenough power to start the engine, use jumper cablesand the following procedure to jump-start the engine.
IMPORTANT: BE SURE that the jumper battery isalso a 12-volt D. C. battery, and the vehicle usedfor jump starting has a negative ground electricalsystem.
1. Turn the keyswitches on both units to OFF. Be surethat both units are in “Neutral” and NOT touching.
2. Connect one end of the positive (+) jumper cableto the positive (+) battery terminal on the disabledmachine first. DO NOT allow the jumper’s posi-tive (+) cable clamps to touch any metal other thanthe positive (+) battery terminals. Connect theother end of the positive (+) jumper cable to thejumper battery positive (+) terminal.
3. Connect one end of the negative (-) jumper cableto the jumper battery negative (-) terminal.
4. Make the final negative (-) jumper cable connec-tion to the disabled Telescopic Handler’s engineblock or frame (ground) ⎯ NOT to the dischargedbattery’s negative (-) post. If making the connec-tion to the engine, keep the jumper clamp away
WARNINGThe ONLY safe method for jump-starting a dis-charged battery is for TWO PEOPLE to per-form the following procedure. The second per-son is needed for removing the jumper cables,so that the operator does not have to leave theoperator’s compartment while the engine isrunning. NEVER make the jumper cable con-nections directly to the starter solenoid ofeither engine. DO NOT start the engine fromany position other than the operator’s seat,and then ONLY after being sure all controlsare in “neutral”.
Closely follow the jump-start procedures, inthe order listed, to avoid personal injury. Inaddition, wear safety glasses to protect youreyes, and avoid leaning over the batterieswhile jump-starting.
DO NOT attempt to jump-start the machine ifthe battery is frozen, because this may causeit to rupture or explode.

CHANGE TRANSMISSION OIL AND FILTER
Operate the machine long enough to warm up thetransmission oil. Shut off the engine. Access to filterand drain plug is from underneath the machine.Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the drain plug and drain oil. Replace thedrain plug.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT discharge oil onto ground.Catch and dispose of per local waste disposalregulations.
Run the boom out slowly to inspect. Conditions to lookfor include cracked or broken plates, protruding orturned pins, and excessive wear. With a steel tape,measure 16 links of the strand that flexes over thesheaves. If the section measures 12.375” (314 mm) ormore, the chain should be replaced. DO NOT repairsections of a chain. Replace the complete chain.
Chain anchors and sheaves also require inspection, forworn or broken fingers and worn flanges.
After any chain has been replaced, operate underloaded conditions and re-check the torque. Adjust thechains per the following procedure: Extend the boomto its maximum length, then retract the boom slowlyuntil the chain slack allows the chain to rest on the topof the boom. Torque the chains on the front of theboom to 30 ft.-lbs. (40 Nm). Lubricate with 80W90 oil.
CHECKING BOOM SLIDE PAD WEAR AND CLEARANCE
The boom is equipped with special nylon low-frictionslide pads between the telescopic sections (see illustra-tion). These are pre-greased and initially worn-in at thefactory. Normally greasing is not required, except formaintaining a light film of grease on the pad trackingareas of the boom sections. An exception is if a boomsection has been replaced.
Visually check for loose pad bolts. The bolts aretorqued to 30 f.t-lbs. (40 Nm). If the bolts are re-torqued at any time, Loctite® thread lock must be re-applied to the bolts.
If the boom starts to chatter under load, grease the slidepads and wipe off the excess. If a top or side slide padshows excessive wear, loosen the bolts and insertshims to each side or top and bottom for even distribu-tion of clearance.

Examine the muffler and tail pipe for possible holes.Re-tighten any loose clamps and make sure the mani-fold outlet gasket is not leaking.
NOTE: Perform all other service requirements upto this point as well as the following:
CHECKING HYDRAULIC SYSTEMRELIEF PRESSURES
Pressure settings for relief valvesare pre-set at the factory. A test portis provided at the hydraulic pump.
Before conducting any pressurechecks, check the engine speed.Engine speed must be 950 to 1000rpm at low idle, and 2690 to 2750rpm at high idle.
Steering Relief Pressure
Plug a 3000 psi (207 bar) oil or liquid filled gauge inthe main/steering test port. Turn the steering full to theright or left. The gauge should read 2500 psi (172 bar).
Checking Main Relief Pressure
With the gauge in the main/steering test port and theboom extended, retract the boom fully. The gaugeshould read 3000 psi (207 bar).
CHANGING HYDRAULIC RESERVOIROIL AND STRAINER
Clean all dirt and debris from around the area wherethe hydraulic system suction (large) hose connects tothe wall of the reservoir.
1. Remove the drain plug and drain oil. Wash or blowoff any collected particles on the magnetic drainplug.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT discharge oil onto ground.Catch and dispose of per local waste disposalregulations.
2. Disconnect the suction hose and remove the sumpstrainer from inside the reservoir. Inspect thestrainer. If it has any damage, holes, etc., it shouldbe replaced. Otherwise, wash it clean with anindustrial solvent, dry with a rag and coat withfresh hydraulic oil.
3. Flush out the bottom of the tank with cleanhydraulic oil. Re-install the drain plug and strainerand reconnect the suction hose.
4. Fill the tank with fresh oil. Follow specifications inLubrication chapter of this manual.
Service Every 2000 Hours or Every Two Years
WARNINGEscaping hydraulic oil under pressure canhave sufficient force to penetrate the skin.Before applying pressure to the hydraulic sys-tem, be sure all connections are tight andlines and hoses are not damaged. Use a pieceof wood or cardboard to search for suspectedleaks. If injured by escaping hydraulic oil, seea doctor familiar with this type of injury imme-diately or gangrene may result.

1. Remove the drain plug from underneath to drainoil.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT discharge oil onto ground.Catch and dispose of per local waste disposalregulations.
2. Remove the breather cap on the front side of thetransfer case. Fill with fresh oil until it flows fromthe check plug hole. Follow specifications in theLubrication chapter of this manual.
STORING THE MACHINE
If the Telescopic Handler will not be operated for along period of time, prepare and store it using the fol-lowing procedures:
Before Storage
Perform the following prior to placing the machine instorage:
1. Wash the entire machine.2. Lubricate all grease fittings as described in the
Lubrication chapter of this manual.3. Change engine oil as outlined in the Service and
Storage chapter of this manual.4. Apply grease to all exposed hydraulic cylinder rod
areas.5. Disconnect the battery cable clamps and cover the
battery, or remove the battery from the machineand store it separately.
6. If the ambient temperature (at any time during thestorage period) is expected to drop below freezing,make sure the engine coolant is either completelydrained from the radiator and engine block or thatthe amount of anti-freeze in it is adequate to keepthe coolant from freezing. Refer to the enginemanual for anti-freeze recommendations andquantities.
During Storage
1. About once each month, connect the battery and,before starting the engine, check all fluid levels tomake sure they are at the proper level.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it warmsup. Then move the machine a short distance to helprelubricate the internal parts. Run the engine untilthe battery has a chance to recharge, and then shutit off.
IMPORTANT: If it is desired to operate thehydraulic cylinders at this time, BE SURE to wipethe protective grease (and any adhering dirt) fromthe cylinder rods prior to starting the engine. Afteroperating, if the machine is to be returned to stor-age, re-coat the cylinder rods with grease.
After Storage
After removing the machine from storage andBEFORE operating it, perform the following:
1. Change engine oil and filter to remove any con-densation and residues.
2. Wipe off grease from cylinder rods.3. Lubricate ALL grease fittings.4. Follow the starting and warm-up procedures out-
lined in the Operation and Adjustments chapter ofthis manual.

This Maintenance Interval Chart was developed to match the Service and Storage chapter of this manual. Detailedinformation on each Service Procedure may be found in the Service and Storage chapter. A Maintenance Log fol-lows the Maintenance Interval Chart for recording the service procedures performed. Recording the 10 Hour (orDaily) service intervals would be impractical and therefore is not recommended.
IMPORTANT: Under severe operating conditions, more frequent service than the recommended inter-vals may be required. Users must decide if the severity of their operation requires more frequent thannormal service.
