Gehl Dealership Network The Gehl dealership network stands ready to provide any assistance that may be required, including providing genuine Gehl service parts. All service parts should be obtained from your Gehl dealer. Provide complete information about the part and include the machine model and serial numbers. Record these numbers in the space provided in “Loader Information” on page 1. Refer to the Parts Manual for a complete listing of serviceable parts.

Gehl Company strives to continuously improve its products and reserves the right to make changes and improvements in the design and construction of any part without incurring the obligation to install such changes on any previously delivered machine.

Vibration Information Compact construction equipment is generally used in harsh environments. This type of usage can expose an operator to uncomfortable levels of vibration. It is useful to understand exposure to vibration levels when operating compact equipment and what can be done to reduce vibration exposure. As a result, equipment operation can be more efficient, productive and safe.

An operator’s exposure to vibration occurs in two ways: • Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) • Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV) WBV issues are primarily addressed in this manual, because evaluations have shown that operation of mobile compact construction equipment on work sites typically results in HAV levels less than the allowed exposure limit of 2.5 m/s2.

Member States of the European Union must comply with the Physical Agents (vibration) Directive, 2002/44/EC. Effective control of vibration exposure for an operator involves more than just vibration levels on the machine. The work site, how the machine is used, and proper training all play important roles in reducing vibration exposure.

Vibration exposure results from: • Work site conditions.

• How the machine is operated.

• The machine characteristics.

Common causes of high WBV levels: • Using a machine that is improper for the task.

• Work site with potholes, ruts and debris.

• Improper operating techniques, such as driving too fast.

• Incorrect adjustment of the seat and controls.

• Other physical activities while using the machine.

4

918441/AP0210

Vibration Measurement and Actions The vibration directive places the responsibility for compliance on employers.

Actions that should be followed by employers include: • Assess the levels of vibration exposure.

• Determine from this assessment if operators will be exposed to vibration levels above the limits stated in the directive.

• Take appropriate actions to reduce operator’s exposure to vibration.

• Provide operators with information and training to reduce their exposure to vibration.

• Keep good records and update operations and training on a regular basis.

If the assessment concludes that vibration level exposure is too high, one or more of the following actions may be necessary: 1. Train operators • Perform operations (accelerating, steering, braking, etc.) in a smooth manner.

• Adjust the controls, mirrors and seat suspension for comfortable operation.

• Travel across the smoothest parts of the work site and avoid ruts and potholes.

2. Choose proper equipment for the job • Use machines with the proper power and capacity.

• Select machines with good suspension seats.

• Look for controls that are easy to use.

• Ensure good visibility from the operator’s position.

3. Maintain the work site • Smooth ruts and fill potholes in traffic areas whenever possible.

• Clean up debris frequently.

• Vary traffic patterns to avoid exposure to rough terrain.

4. Maintain the equipment • Ensure correct tire pressures.

• Check that seat suspension and all controls work smoothly and properly.

Vibration Levels The table lists typical whole-body vibration levels for the machine. See “Vibration Levels” on page 34.

CHAPTER 2 SAFETY This manual and decals on the machine warn of safety hazards and should be read and observed closely.

Before operating the machine, first read and study the safety information in this manual. Additionally, anyone who operates or works on the machine must be familiar with these safety precautions.

This safety alert symbol means ATTENTION! ALWAYS BE ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! This symbol is used throughout this operator’s manual and on the decals on the machine.

“DANGER” indicates an imminently hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER

“WARNING” indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

“CAUTION” indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in minor injury or property damage. It is also used to alert users of unsafe practices.

CAUTION

It is essential that operators are thoroughly trained in the safe operation of the machine and handling loads. Operators must not be physically or mentally impaired. Do not allow minors or unqualified personnel to operate the machine, or to be near the machine unless they are properly supervised. It is recommended that the operator be capable of obtaining a valid motor vehicle operator’s license.

Use of this machine is subject to certain hazards that cannot be eliminated by mechanical means, but only by exercising intelligence, care and common sense.

Such hazards include: hillside operation, overloading, load instability, poor maintenance, and using the machine for a purpose for which it was not intended or designed.

Gehl Company always takes operator’s safety into consideration during the design process. Guards and shields are provided, which protect the operator and bystanders from moving parts and other hazards. Operators must be alert, however, because some areas cannot be guarded or shielded without preventing or interfering with proper operation.

Some photographs in this manual may show doors, guards and shields open or removed for the purposes of illustration only. Be sure that all doors, guards and shields are in the proper operating positions before starting the engine to operate the machine.

918441/AP0210

Different applications may require optional safety equipment. Be sure you know the work site hazards and equip the machine and the operator as necessary. The information in this manual does not replace any applicable safety rules and laws.

Before operating the machine, learn the rules and laws for your area. Make sure the machine is equipped as required according to these rules/laws.

The machine must be equipped with a Falling-Object Protective Structure (FOPS) when the machine is intended for applications where there is a risk of falling objects.

Mandatory Safety Shutdown Procedure BEFORE cleaning, adjusting, lubricating, fueling, or servicing the machine, or leaving it unattended: 1. Bring the machine to a complete stop on a level surface. Avoid parking on an incline or hillside, but if this is not possible, park across the slope and block the tires.

2. Be sure all working equipment and/or attachments are stopped and the auxiliary valve is in neutral.

3. Lower the lift arm and attachment completely.

4. Place forward/reverse drive switch on the top of the joystick into the neutral position.

5. Apply the parking brake.

6. Move the throttle to low idle position and shut off the engine.

7. Wait for all movement to stop. Move the multi-purpose joystick in all directions to verify that the hydraulic system is de-pressurized.

8. Press the joystick down to lock the hydraulics and prevent inadvertent movement.

9. Unfasten the seat belt, remove the ignition key and take it with you. Exit the machine using the hand holds.

ONLY when these precautions have been taken can you be sure it is safe to proceed. Failure to follow this procedure could result in death or serious injury.

Before Starting • Do not modify the Roll-Over Protective Structure (“ROPS”) unless instructed to do so in Gehl Company approved installation instructions.

Modifications, such as welding, drilling or cutting, can weaken the structure and reduce the protection it provides. A damaged ROPS cannot be repaired – it must be replaced.

• To ensure safe operation, replace damaged or worn-out parts with genuine Gehl service parts.

8

918441/AP0210

• Gehl loaders are designed and intended to be used only with Gehl attachments and approved attachments. To avoid possible personal injury, equipment damage and performance problems, use only attachments that are approved for use on and within the operating capacity of the machine.

Contact your dealer or Gehl Company for information on attachment approval and compatibility with specific machine models. Gehl cannot be responsible if the machine is used with a non-approved attachment.

• Remove all trash and debris from the machine every day, especially in the engine compartment, to minimize the risk of fire.

• Be sure that any connected attachment is shifted to neutral or off before starting machine.

• Always face the machine and use the hand holds and steps when entering and exiting the machine. Do not jump off the machine.

See “Entering and Exiting” on page 50.

• Do not use starting fluid (ether).

• Walk around the machine and inspect it before using it. Look for damage, loose or missing parts, leaks, etc.

• Warn all nearby personnel before starting the machine.

• Check for proper tire pressure in all four tires before operating the machine and add air if necessary. Improperly pressurized tires adversely affect machine stability. Regularly check wheel fasteners for tightness.

See “Maintenance Schedule” on page 72.

• Contact the proper local authorities for utility line locations BEFORE starting to dig. In North America, contact the North American One-Call Referral System at 8-1-1 in the U.S., or 1-888-258-0808 in the U.S. and Canada.

• Before working near power lines (either above-ground or buried cabletype), always contact the power utility and establish a safety plan with them.

• If temperatures are changing, be cautious of dark and wet patches when working or traveling over frozen ground. Stay away from ditches, overhangs and other weak support surfaces.

• The operator’s area, steps and hand holds must be free of oil, dirt, ice and unsecured objects.

• If a lighting system is installed, check its operation before working in darkness.

• If the machine is equipped with a cab, always keep the windshield and windows clean. Poor visibility can cause accidents.

• Use warning tag/control lockout procedures during service. Alert others that service or maintenance is being performed by tagging operator’s controls — and other machine areas if required — with a warning notice.

• NEVER start the engine if there is any indication that maintenance or service work is in progress, or if a warning tag is attached to the controls.

• Replace damaged safety decals and lost or damaged operator’s manuals.

918441/AP0210

• Terrain and soil conditions at the work site, approaching traffic, weatherrelated hazards and any above or below-ground obstacles and hazards should be observed and monitored by all work crew members.

• Read the operator’s manual provided with all attachments used with the machine before starting the engine.

During Operation • ALWAYS fasten the seat belt securely and properly. Never operate the machine without the seat belt fastened around the operator.

• Check indicators and displays for normal conditions after starting the engine. Listen for unusual sounds and remain alert for other potentially hazardous conditions.

• Do not overload the machine. See “Weights” on page 31 for the load limits.

• Do not raise or drop a loaded bucket or attachment suddenly. Abrupt movements under load can cause serious instability.

• Check that attachments are securely fastened to the All-Tach®/Power-ATach® hitch before working.

• Never activate the float function with the bucket or attachment loaded or raised, because this will cause the lift arm to lower or bucket to dump rapidly.

• Machine stability is affected by: weight of the load being carried, height of the load, turn angle, width of the machine across the tires, machine speed, abrupt control movements and driving over uneven terrain.

DISREGARDING ANY OF THESE FACTORS CAN CAUSE THE MACHINE TO TIP, THROWING THE OPERATOR OUT OF THE SEAT OR MACHINE, RESULTING IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. Therefore: ALWAYS operate with the seat belt fastened around the operator. Do not exceed the machine’s rated operating capacity, especially when turned, because this reduces the load that will cause the machine to tip over. Carry the load low. Move the controls smoothly and gradually, and operate at speeds appropriate for the conditions.

• Never carry riders. Do not allow others to ride on the machine or attachments, because they could fall or cause an accident.

• Always look to the rear, over both shoulders, before backing up.

• Only start the engine while seated in the operator’s seat with the seat belt fastened around the operator.

• Only operate the controls while seated in the operator’s seat with the seat belt properly fastened.

• Always keep hands and feet inside the operator’s compartment while operating the machine.

• New operators must operate the machine in an open area away from bystanders. Practice with the controls until the machine can be operated safely and efficiently.

10

918441/AP0210

• Wear safety goggles, ear and head protection as needed while operating the machine. Operator must wear protective clothing when appropriate.

• Exhaust fumes can kill. Do not operate the machine in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation. Internal combustion engines deplete the oxygen supply within enclosed spaces and may create a serious hazard unless the oxygen is replaced.

• 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 machine and the load.

• Never allow anyone under raised lift arm. Lowering lift arm or a falling load can result in death or serious personal injury.

• Avoid slowing suddenly while carrying a load. Sudden slowing can cause the load to drop off the attachment or the machine to tip forward.

• Slow down the work cycle and use slower travel speeds in congested or populated areas. Use commonly understood signals so that other members of the work crew can warn the operator to slow or halt work in a potentially hazardous situation.

• Use a signal person if you cannot see the entire work area clearly, in high traffic areas and whenever the operator’s view is not clear.

• Do not place limbs near moving parts. Severing of body parts can result.

• Do not use the loader to lift or transport people.

• Stay alert for people moving through the work area. When loading a truck, the operator should always know where the driver is.

• Exposed hydraulic hoses could react with explosive force if struck by a falling or overhead items. NEVER allow hoses to be hit, bent or interfered with during operation. Replace any hoses that are hit, bent, or interfered with as necessary.

Avoiding Rollover Accidents • Operate the controls smoothly to prevent jerking or bouncing. Operate on level, stable surfaces. Load, unload and turn on solid, level ground.

• Drive up and down inclines, not across them. Drive slowly on inclines.

Keep the heavy end of the machine pointed uphill.

• Evenly distribute the load on the attachment. Secure unstable loads so they do not shift or fall.

• Do not make sharp turns on inclines. Avoid steep inclines.

• Use care on loose ground. Loose, soft ground or uneven, broken terrain can cause dangerous side-load conditions and possible tipover and injury.

• If you must cross railroad tracks, ditches, curbs or similar surfaces, cross at an angle and drive slowly.

• Stay away from steep edges on loading docks, ramps, ditches, retaining walls and trenches.

918441/AP0210

11

• Avoid sharp turns and high speeds while carrying loads. The stability of the machine is greatly reduced during sharp turns. Additionally, the load may shift to the side during turns, greatly increasing the possibility of a rollover.

• To avoid tipping, keep loads as low as possible during transport and while turning. Keep the bottom of the bucket or load no higher than wheel axle height during transport and turning.

• Do not turn the machine when lifting loads. As loads are lifted, a drastic shift in stability can occur, which can greatly increase the possibility of a rollover.

• If the machine becomes unstable and starts to tip, keep the seat belt fastened, hold on firmly and brace yourself. Lean away from the point of impact and stay with the machine. If tipping occurs, DO NOT jump from the machine. The machine is equipped with rollover protection, which can only protect the operator while in the operator’s seat. Trying to escape from a tipping machine can result in death or serious personal injury.

• The ROPS must be replaced if an overturn incident occurs. The protection offered by the ROPS will be impaired if it has been damaged in an overturn accident.

Electrical Energy • Stay away from high-voltage lines. Serious injury or death can result from contact or proximity to high-voltage electric lines. The machine does not have to make physical contact with power lines for current to be transmitted. Use a spotter and hand signals to keep away from power lines not clearly visible to the operator.

• Depending upon the voltage in the power line and atmospheric conditions, strong current shocks can occur if the bucket is closer than 3 m (10 ft.) to the power line. Very high voltage and rainy weather can further increase the safe operating distance.

Service Safety Practices • Only trained and authorized personnel, with a full awareness of safe procedures, should be allowed to operate or perform maintenance or service on the machine.

• Never attempt to bypass the keyswitch to start the engine. Use only the proper jump-starting procedure explained in “Using a Booster Battery (Jump-Starting)” on page 97.

• Never use your hands to search for hydraulic fluid leaks. Instead, use a piece of paper or cardboard. Escaping fluid under pressure can be 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.

12

918441/AP0210

• Always wear safety glasses with side shields when striking metal against metal. In addition, it is recommended that a softer (chip-resistant) material be used to cushion the blow, otherwise, serious injury to the eyes or other parts of the body could result.

• Do not smoke or have any spark- or flame-producing equipment or materials in the area while filling the fuel tank or working on the fuel or hydraulic systems.

• Do not attempt to loosen or disconnect any hydraulic lines, hoses, fittings, covers or caps without first relieving hydraulic circuit pressure. Relieve hydraulic pressure by performing the “Mandatory Safety Shutdown Procedure” on page 8 and slowly loosening the hydraulic reservoir filler cap. Be careful not to touch any hydraulic components that have been in recent operation, because they can be hot and cause burns.

• Do not attempt to remove the radiator cap after the engine has reached operating temperature or if it is overheated. At operating temperatures, engine coolant is extremely hot and under pressure. Always wait for the engine to cool before attempting to relieve pressure and remove the radiator cap. Failure to heed this warning could result in severe burns.

• Never rely on jacks or other similar supports if it is necessary to elevate the machine for service. Use only solid support blocking.

• Refer to the Parts Manual for information about assembly of components.

Always use the correct parts and the proper torques — incorrect fastener connections can dangerously weaken assemblies.

• Exhaust fumes can kill. Do not operate the machine in an enclosed area unless there is adequate ventilation.

• Operators should also be aware of any open windows, doors or ductwork into which exhaust gases may be carried, exposing others to danger.

• Do not run the engine if repairs are being performed alone. There should always be at least two people working together if the engine must be run during service.

• Always use adequate tools while working on the machine. Inappropriate tools could break or slip, causing injury, or they may not adequately perform intended functions.

• Unless necessary for servicing the engine, do not open the engine cover while the engine is running.

• Do not use the machine when maintenance is scheduled to be performed.

Postponing maintenance can result in a serious reduction of the service life of the machine, more serious and costly equipment failures, and contribute to unsafe operating conditions.

• Only tow the machine as described in the Operator’s Manual. See “Towing and Retrieval” on page 65.

918441/AP0210

13

Battery Hazards • Use the battery disconnect switch to disconnect the battery before performing electrical service or electrical welding on the machine. See “Engine Start” on page 50.

• When disconnecting at the battery terminals, remove the cable connected to the negative terminal first. When installing a battery, connect the positive terminal cable first.

• Sparks and open flames can set off explosive battery gas from incidental contact or static discharge. Turn off all switches and the engine when working on batteries. Keep battery terminals tight. Contact between a loose terminal and post can create an explosive spark.

• When jump-starting from another machine, do not allow the machines to touch. Wear safety glasses or goggles while battery connections are made.

• Never jump-start the machine if it has a frozen battery. The battery could explode. Thaw a frozen battery before charging it or attaching jumper cables.

• Flush eyes with water for 10-15 minutes if battery acid is splashed in the face. Anyone swallowing battery acid must have immediate medical aid.

Call the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222 in the United States.

Fire Hazards • The machine must be cleaned on a regular basis to avoid the buildup of flammable debris, such as leaves, straw, etc. Accumulated debris, particularly in the engine compartment, creates a fire hazard.

• The machine has several components that operate at high temperatures under normal operating conditions, primarily the engine and exhaust systems. Also, the electrical system, if not properly maintained or if damaged, can arc or produce sparks. These conditions make it extremely important to avoid circumstances where explosive dust or gases can be ignited by arcs, sparks or heat.

• Add fuel, oil, antifreeze and hydraulic fluid to the machine only in well ventilated areas. The machine must be parked with controls, lights and switches turned off. The engine must be turned off before fueling.

• Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank, while working on the fuel or hydraulic systems, or while working around the battery.

• Take care to avoid spilling combustible fluids, such as oil or fuel, on a hot engine.

• Static electricity can produce dangerous sparks at the fuel-filling nozzle.

In very cold, dry weather or other conditions that could produce static discharge, keep the tip of the fuel nozzle in constant contact with the fuel filler neck of the fuel-filling nozzle, to provide a ground. Be sure that the ground wire is connected from the machine to the service truck before fueling begins.

14

918441/AP0210

• Keep fuel and other fluid reservoir caps tight and do not start the engine until caps have been secured • It is recommended that a 2.27 kg (5 lbs.) or larger, multi-purpose “A/B/C” fire extinguisher be mounted within reach of the operator. Check the fire extinguisher periodically and be sure that work site crew members are trained in its use.

• Oil leaks can ignite on hot components. Repair any damaged or leaking components before using machine.

Crystalline Silica Exposure Exposure to crystalline silica (found in sand, soil and rocks) has been associated with silicosis, a debilitating and often fatal lung disease. A Hazard Review (Pub. No. 2002-129) by the U.S. National Institute for 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/m3 as a time-weighted average for up to a 10-hr workday during a 40-hr work week. NIOSH also recommends substituting less hazardous materials when feasible, using respiratory protection and regular medical examinations for exposed workers.

918441/AP0210

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION Read and understand this entire manual.

Follow warnings and instructions for operation and maintenance. Failure to follow instructions can result in injury or death. Read and understand all safety and instructional decals before operation.

WARNING

Do not operate the machine unless all guards and shields are in place. Know how to stop the machine before starting.

Use only approved accessories or attachments.

Check for correct function after adjustments or maintenance.

If any warning indicators light when the engine is running, turn off the engine immediately. Correct the problem before re-starting the engine.

Never adjust the operator’s seat or the optional adjustable steering column when the engine is running.

If the machine is equipped with a folding ROPS, never operate the machine without the ROPS device fully extended. Only fold the ROPS temporarily if necessary during transport or for operation inside structures with low overhead clearance.

Always operate the machine with the seatbelt fastened. Repair or replace any damaged seat belt and buckle parts before operation.

Position the load as low as possible while traveling. Never make turns with the load raised higher than the axles or tipping could occur, which could result in severe injury or death.

If the machine becomes unstable and starts to tip, keep the seat belt fastened, hold on firmly and brace yourself. Lean away from the point of impact and stay with the machine. If tipping occurs, DO NOT jump from the machine. The machine is equipped with rollover protection, which only protects the operator while in the operator’s seat. Trying to escape from a tipping machine can result in death or serious personal injury.

Travel cautiously, under complete control at all times. Avoid sudden direction changes of direction while traveling.

Tires Inflating or servicing tires can be dangerous.

When possible, trained personnel should service and mount tires. To avoid possible death or serious injury, follow the safety precautions below.

WARNING

To keep tire wear even, rotate the tires from front to rear and rear to front.

Important: Keep the same size tire on each side of the loader to prevent excessive wear on tires. The tread bar of all tires should face the same direction.

• Be sure the rim is clean and free of rust. Lubricate the tire beads and rim flanges with a soap solution. Do NOT use oil or grease.

• Use a clip-on tire chuck with remote hose and gauge, allowing you to stand clear while inflating the tire.

• Never inflate beyond 35 psi (2.4 bar) to seat the beads. If the beads have not seated by the time the pressure reaches 35 psi (2.4 bar), deflate the assembly, reposition the tire on the rim, lubricate both parts and re-inflate.

Inflation pressure beyond 35 psi (2.4 bar) with unseated beads may break the bead or rim with explosive force sufficient to cause death or serious injury.

• After seating the beads, adjust the inflation pressure to the recommended operating pressure.

• Do not weld, braze or otherwise attempt to repair and use a damaged rim.

Checking Tire Pressure Correct tire pressure should be maintained for all tires to enhance operating stability and extend tire life. See “Wheel/Tire Sets” on page 33 for proper inflation pressures.

Note: See tire sidewall for inflation pressures.

Lubrication Important: Use of lubricants not corresponding to manufacturer recommendations may invalidate warranty claims. Always dispose of waste lubrication oils and hydraulic fluids according to environmental laws or take to a recycling center for proper disposal. DO NOT pour fluids onto the ground or down a drain.

Refer to the following figures for grease fitting locations. See “Fluid Capacities/Lubricants” on page 27 for proper grease specifications. Wipe dirt from the fittings before greasing them to prevent contamination. Replace any missing or damaged fittings. To minimize dirt build-up, avoid excessive greasing.

Battery Before servicing the battery or electrical system, be sure the battery disconnect switch is in the “OFF” position.

WARNING

Refer to “Electrical System” on page 32 for battery specifications. To access the battery, tilt the loader platform. See “Tilting the Platform” on page 75.

The battery top must be kept clean. Clean it with an alkaline solution (ammonia or baking soda and water). After foaming has stopped, wipe the battery top with a damp towel. If the terminals and cable connection clamps are corroded or have a build-up, disconnect the cables and clean the terminals and clamps with the same alkaline solution. Thoroughly dry the battery using a clean towel.

Explosive gas is produced while a battery is in use or being charged. Keep flames or sparks away from the battery area. ALWAYS charge the battery in a wellventilated area.

WARNING

Never lay a metal object on top of a battery, because a short circuit can result.

Battery acid is harmful to skin and fabrics. If acid spills, follow these first-aid tips: 1. Immediately remove any clothing on which acid spilled.

2. If acid contacts skin, rinse the affected area with running water for 10 to 15 minutes.

3. If acid contacts eyes, flood eyes with running water for 10 to 15 minutes. See a doctor at once. Never use any medication or eye drops unless prescribed by the doctor.

4. To neutralize acid spilled on the floor, use one of the following mixtures: a. 0.5 kg (1 lbs) of baking soda in 4 L (1 gal) of water b. 0.5 L (0.5 qts) of household ammonia in 4 L (1 gal) of water Whenever the battery is removed, be sure to disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal connection first.

918441/AP0210

Using a Booster Battery (Jump-Starting) Important: Only complete these steps if the loader cannot be started using the ignition key switch. See “Engine Start” on page 50.

If the loader does not start because of a “dead” (discharged) battery, start the loader using a battery jumper cable connected to the battery of another vehicle.

Note: The loader cannot be tow-started because no direct mechanical connection exists between the wheels and engine. Attempting to tow-start the machine may damage the drive train.

CAUTION 10°C (14°F).

Do not jump-start a frozen battery, or it may explode. A discharged battery can freeze at

Note: Check that the battery disconnect switch is not turned off before jump starting.

The booster battery must have a nominal voltage of 12-volts. The capacity (Amphour rating) of the current-supplying battery must be approximately equal to that of the discharged battery. Factory-installed batteries are approximately 74 Ah in capacity.

Keep metal parts on your clothing and metal watchbands away from the positive (+) pole of the battery — risk of short circuit.

CAUTION

1. Turn the key switches of both machines to OFF. Be sure the machines are in neutral and NOT touching each other.

2. Check that battery jumper cables have a sufficient diameter.

3. Connect the positive jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal on the discharged battery.

4. Connect the negative jumper cable to the negative (-) terminal on the discharged battery.

Note: If the machine is equipped with the optional remote battery terminal, connect the cables to the terminal studs on the remote battery terminal. See “Remote Battery Terminal” on page 98.

5. Connect the free end of the positive jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal on the booster battery.

6. Connect the free end of the negative jumper cable to a convenient ground on the machine carrying the booster battery.

7. Start the machine with the discharged battery. See “Engine Start” on page 48.

If the engine does not start immediately, stop cranking after 10 seconds and repeat starting procedure after approximately 30 seconds.

918441/AP0210

97

When the engine is running, components in the engine compartment rotate. Before removing the jumper cables, be sure that no loose clothing can become caught in the rotating components.

WARNING

8. After the engine is running, remove the negative jumper cable connected the booster machine grouond.

Important: DO NOT allow the booster cable ends to touch when removing them.

Arcs and direct short circuits can cause severe damage to the electrical system.

9. Disconnect the jumper cables from the machine with the discharged battery.

10. Remove the positive jumper cable from the booster battery.

11. Close the engine cover and confirm it is latched securely.

12. Allow the machine to run for at least 30 minutes to re-charge the battery.

Remote Battery Terminal The optional remote battery terminal allows access to the battery terminals for jump-starting purposes.

Open the engine hood to access the remote battery terminal. Remove cap (T, Figure 97) for access to the remote connection for the positive battery terminal stud. Stud (U) provides a remote connection to the machine ground.
