INTRODUCTION
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 Boom Forklift. More importantly, this manual provides an oper-
ating plan for safe and proper use of the machine. Major points of safe operation are detailed in the SAFETY chap-
ter of this manual.
The GEHL Company asks that you read and understand the contents of this manual
COMPLETELY and become familiar with your new machine, BEFORE attempting to operate it.
Throughout this manual, information is provided which is set in italic type and introduced by the word NOTE or
IMPORTANT. Be sure to read carefully and comply with the message or directive given. Following this infor-
mation will improve your operating or maintenance efficiency, help you to avoid breakdowns or damage and
extend your machine’s life. A chart of standard hardware torques is located in the back of this manual.
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.
Our wide dealership network stands ready 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 part and include the model and serial numbers of your machine. Record the serial number
in the 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 part
without incurring the obligation to install such changes on any unit previously delivered.
The GEHL Company, in cooperation with the

Society of Automotive Engineers, has adopted this
Safety Alert Symbol

to pinpoint characteristics which, if NOT
properly followed, can create a safety hazard.
When you see this symbol in this manual or on the
machine itself, you are reminded to BE ALERT!
Your personal safety is involved!
