Check Fan Belt
If the belt is worn, cut, cracked, or damaged, it
should be replaced. Order a replacement belt from
your Gehl dealer. Refer to the engine manual to
learn proper belt replacement and tension
adjustment procedures.
Check Hydraulic Oil Level
The fluid must be cool when checking the reservoir
level (Fig. 35) or changing the filter. This reduces
the possibility of overfilling the hydraulic system
and potential injury due to hot fluid.

WARNING
ALWAYS protect face and eyes whenever a
pressure plug or cap is removed. NEVER
assume that no pressure exists in a pressure
vessel or system.
Before removing the fill plug (Fig. 36), release
hydraulic system pressure by loosening the fill
plug or the breather cap on the top of the backwall
console (shown in “Change Hydraulic Filter” on
page 59).
NOTE: Use a 3/4” drive socket wrench handle
to remove the fill plug.

IMPORTANT: Be sure that no dirt or other
foreign matter enters the hydraulic system
while the cap is removed. DO NOT
OVERFILL.
See “Lubricants” on page 47 for recommended
hydraulic oils.
Check Battery Connections/Cables
Check cables for corrosion or loose connection.
NOTE: The battery on the paver is warranted
by the supplier. See the label on the top of the
battery for warranty information.
Cleaning the Battery
Always keep the top of the battery clean. Clean the
battery with a brush dipped in an alkaline solution
(ammonia or baking soda and water). After the
foaming has stopped, flush the top of the battery
with clean water. If the terminals and cable
connection clamps are corroded or dirty,
disconnect the cables and clean the terminals and
clamps with the same alkaline solution.
