GENERAL INFORMATION
NOTE:
All service routines, with the exception of
those described under the “Dealer Services” topic
are owner-operator responsibilities. All operator
services described under the daily subtopics are
also referred to on a decal which is located on the
inside right side panel of the operator’s station.
Refer to the LUBRICATION chapter of this manu-
al for lubrication information.
NOTE:
This SERVICE & STORAGE chapter
describes procedures to follow for making routine
maintenance checks, adjustments and replace-
ments. The majority of the procedures are also
referred to in the MAINTENANCE chapter of this
manual. For engine related adjustments and ser-
vicing procedures, refer to the engine manual pro-
vided.
PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT perform any maintenance or repair without
the owner’s prior authorization. Allow only trained
personnel to service the machine.
WARRANTY repairs can only be done by a GEHL
Dealer. He will know what portions of the machine are
covered under the terms of the GEHL Warranty and
what portions are covered by other vendor OEM war-
ranties.
When a problem occurs, don’t overlook simple causes
such as an empty fuel tank. Check for leaks and broken
connections. Make note of any specific problem symp-
toms, noises, etc. and contact your local Gehl Dealer.
IMPORTANT:
Always dispose of waste lubri-
cating oils, anti-freeze and hydraulic fluids
according to local regulations or take them to a
recycling center for disposal. DO NOT pour them
onto the ground or into a drain.
DEALER SERVICES
The following areas of internal components service,
replacement and operating adjustments should only be
attempted by (or under the direction of) an authorized
GEHL Telescopic Forklift Dealer.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT service or repair major
components, unless authorized to do so by your
Gehl Dealer. Any unauthorized repair will void the
warranty.
POWER TRAIN COMPONENTS
The engine and transmission are coupled directly to
each other. All service routines, related to the internal
components are precise and critical to proper power
train operation. The axle differential and planetary
ends are also sophisticated assemblies which require
special know-how and tools for servicing.
NOTE:
If power train components are suspected
of faulty operation, contact your Gehl Dealer for
further assistance.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Valves, pumps, motors and cylinders are also sophisti-
cated assemblies which require special know-how and
tools for servicing. All cylinders are appropriately
designed with particular strokes, diameters, checks and
hose connection provisions unique to the machine
application requirements. A schematic (located at the
end of this manual) can be used as a guide for service
reference, as required.
