Cold Starting Procedure
Do not use starting fluid (ether) with preheat
systems. An explosion can result which can cause engine damage,
injury or death.
Turn the key to the
RUN
position. If the preheat light on the instrument panel
comes on, wait until it goes out before turning the key to the
START
position.
If the temperature is below 32° F (0° C), try the following to make starting the
engine easier:
» Replace the engine oil with SAE 10W30
» Make sure the battery is fully charged
» Install a block heater on the engine.
Let the engine run for a minimum of five minutes to warm the engine and
hydraulic fluid before operating the loader.
A block heater is recommended for starting in temperatures of 20°F (-7°C) or
lower. See your Gehl dealer for heater options.
Stopping the Loader
The following procedure is the recommended sequence for stopping the
loader:
1.
Check that the drive control handle(s) is(are) are in neutral position.
2.
Lower the lift arm and rest the attachment on the ground.
3.
Pull the throttle lever back to the idle position (and/or take your foot off
the accelerator pedal for hands-only controlled machines).
4.
Turn the keyswitch to the
OFF
position and remove the key.
5.
Raise the restraint bar, unlatch the seatbelt and grasp the hand holds while
climbing out of the operator’s compartment.
Note:
The skid loader is equipped with a spring-applied automatic parking
brake. The parking brake is engaged when the operator lifts the restraint bar,
leaves the operator’s seat, shuts off the engine or when the brake switch is
applied (the top half of the switch is pushed in).
Parking the Loader
Park the loader away from traffic on level ground. If this is not possible, park
the loader across the incline and block the tires to prevent movement.
