NOTE: This Service and Storage chapter details
procedures to follow for making routine mainte-
nance checks, adjustments and replacements.
The majority of the procedures are also referred
to in the Maintenance chapter of this manual. For

dures, refer to the engine manual provided.
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.
Dealers know what portions of the machine are cov-
ered under the terms of the Gehl Warranty and what
portions are covered by other vendor warranties.
When a problem occurs, do not overlook simple caus-
es such as an empty fuel tank. Check for leaks and bro-
ken connections. Make note of any specific symptoms,
noises, etc. and contact your local Gehl dealer.
IMPORTANT: Always dispose of waste lubricating
oils, anti-freeze and hydraulic fluids according to
local regulations or take them to a recycling cen-
ter 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
performed by (or under the direction of) an authorized
Gehl Telescopic Handler 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.
POWERTRAIN 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 that require spe-
cial know-how and tools for servicing.
IMPORTANT: If any powertrain components are
suspected of faulty operation, contact your Gehl
dealer for assistance.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Valves, pumps, motors and cylinders are sophisticated
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 applica-
tion requirements. A hydraulic schematic (located at
the back of this manual) can be used as a guide for ser-
vice reference, as required.
