CHAPTER 5 SERVICE

Before servicing the machine, unless expressly instructed to the contrary, exercise the MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE (page6).

Warning

After service has been performed, be sure to restore all guards, shields and covers to their original positions before resuming operation.

This Service chapter details procedures for performing routine maintenance checks, adjustments and replacements. Most procedures are referred to in the Troubleshooting and Maintenance chapters of this manual. Refer to the Maintenance Interval Chart (page99) for service intervals. Refer to the separate engine manual for engine-related adjustments, lubrication and service procedures.

Note: All service procedures, except those described under the Dealer Services topic are owner-operator responsibilities.

Important: Always dispose of waste lubricating oils and hydraulic fluids according to local regulations or take to a recycling center for disposal. Do not pour onto the ground or down the drain.

Dealer Services

The following areas of component service, replacement and adjustments require special tools and knowledge for proper servicing and should be performed only by your authorized Gehl skid-steer loader dealer: hydrostatic drive components, hydraulic system pumps, valves, hydraulic cylinders, electrical components (other than battery, fuses or relays).

Sliding Side Window Removal Procedure

The sliding side windows inside the ROPS/FOPS can be removed for cleaning. To begin, open the cab door and slide one of the side windows to the rear. Using a non-marring tool, separate the front plastic rail underneath the sliding window from the window frame. Pull the plastic rail forward until it releases from the window frame. Then slide the side window to the front and separate the rear plastic rail from the window frame in the same manner, pulling the rail rearward to release it from the window frame. The sliding side window may now be removed from the ROPS/FOPS. To reinstall the window, reverse the removal steps.

Replacement Parts

Note: Part numbers may change. Your Gehl dealer will always have the latest part numbers.

Important: To ensure continued warranty coverage, use only genuine Gehl replacement filters.
