Why are the work lights not functioning properly on my Gehl Compact Loader?
- X
  xmeyerSep 10, 2025
  If the work lights on your Gehl Compact Loader are not functioning properly: * If a single light doesn’t work, the light bulb may be burned out, or there could be faulty wiring. Check and replace the light bulb as needed. * If no lights work at all, a 15 ampere breaker may be tripped. Check the circuit and locate the trouble before replacing the fuse. * There could be a faulty light switch or poor ground. Replace the light switch.

What to do if lift/tilt controls fail to respond on Gehl SL3935 Compact Loader?
- S
  Steven BergAug 23, 2025
  If the lift/tilt controls on your Gehl Compact Loader fail to respond: * The hydraulic oil viscosity may be too heavy. Allow a longer warm-up or replace it with the proper viscosity oil. * The hydraulic oil level may be low. Check the oil level in the reservoir; if it's low, check for an external leak, repair it, and add oil. * A solenoid valve may be malfunctioning. Check electrical connections to the lift solenoid and repair.

What causes jerky lift arm and bucket action on my Gehl SL3935 Compact Loader?
- L
  Lori MillerAug 26, 2025
  Jerky lift arm and bucket action on your Gehl Compact Loader can be caused by: * A seat or restraint bar switch malfunction. Check electrical connections to the switches and replace as needed. * Air in the hydraulic system. Cycle lift/tilt cylinders to maximum stroke and maintain pressure for a short time to clear air from the system. * Low oil in the hydraulic reservoir. Check and add oil.

What causes no response from hydrostatic drive or lift/tilt systems on Gehl SL3935?
- N
  Nicole SandovalAug 27, 2025
  If there is no response from either the hydrostatic drive or the lift/tilt systems on your Gehl Compact Loader: * The hydraulic oil viscosity might be too heavy. Allow a longer warm-up or replace existing oil with the proper viscosity oil. * The hydraulic oil supply may be too low. Check for a low oil level in the reservoir. * There may be a drive coupling failure. Replace the coupling.

What should I do if my Gehl SL3935 Compact Loader traction drive will not operate?
- E
  Ellen FloresSep 12, 2025
  If the traction drive on your Gehl Compact Loader will not operate in either direction: * Ensure the parking brake is disengaged. * Check for a low hydraulic oil supply in the reservoir. * Inspect the control rod linkage connection at the control levers and neutral centering mechanisms; reconnect the linkage if disconnected.

Why is my Gehl Compact Loader hydrostatic drive noisy?
- D
  Derek CamachoSep 8, 2025
  A noisy hydrostatic drive system in your Gehl Compact Loader may be due to: * Hydraulic oil viscosity being too heavy. Allow a longer warm-up or replace the existing oil with the proper viscosity oil. * Air in the hydraulic system. Cycle the lift and tilt cylinders to maximum stroke and maintain pressure for a short time to clear air from the system.

What causes sluggish response to acceleration in my Gehl SL3935 Compact Loader?
- K
  Kristopher SmithSep 5, 2025
  A sluggish response to acceleration in your Gehl Compact Loader can be caused by: * Air in the hydraulic system. Cycle the lift and tilt cylinders to maximum stroke and maintain pressure for a short time to clear air from the system. * The hydraulic oil supply being too low. Check for a low oil level in the reservoir. * Low hydrostatic system charge pressure. Add oil.

What should I do if my Gehl Compact Loader engine overheats?
- S
  Sara JohnsonSep 7, 2025
  If your Gehl Compact Loader engine overheats: * Check the crankcase oil level; if it's too low or too high, add or remove oil as required. * Ensure fan air circulation is not blocked or restricted. With the engine OFF, remove any blockage or restriction. * Make sure you are using the proper grade of oil and that it is not excessively dirty. Drain and replace with the proper grade of new oil. * Ensure the exhaust is not restricted. Allow exhaust to cool, remove restriction. * Check the air filter and replace it if it is restricted.
