Gehl 418, 418T Common Problems This Manual Covers
Weak or slow lift and tilt
Low oil, a control-valve fault or a misadjusted main pressure relief valve make the loader lift and tilt slowly or weakly. The Hydraulic System chapter covers the control valve, relief valves and the lifting and dumping circuits.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System p. 148Loss of hydrostatic drive power
A drive that lags or loses power often traces to the hydraulic pump, variable-displacement motor or low boost pressure. The Hydrostatic Drive chapter covers these parts, the oil circuit and the adjustment work.
Manual Section: Hydrostatic Drive p. 62Steering wanders or feels heavy
Worn steering rams, a faulty sevostat or lost wheel synchronization make the loader steer poorly. The Steering chapter provides the steering circuit, diagram, ram service and stop adjustment.
Manual Section: Steering p. 116Hard starting or engine fault
Glow-plug, injection or valve-clearance problems on the Perkins 704-30 lead to hard starts and rough running. The Perkins Engine chapter covers the specifications, tightening torques and adjustment procedures.
Manual Section: Perkins Engine p. 38Service or parking brake trouble
Poor stopping or a parking brake that drags points to the brake circuit, inching potentiometer or parking-brake adjustment. The Brakes chapter covers the service and parking brake and their circuits.
Manual Section: Brakes p. 110Axle, planetary, or differential wear
Front and rear axle wear shows up in the planetary drive and self-locking differential. The Axles chapter covers the axle body, planetary drive, differential and transfer gearbox with their torque values.
Manual Section: Axles p. 101Electrical or control-valve actuation faults
A dead circuit or an unresponsive control valve traces to the wiring, drive switches or actuation lever. The Electrical System chapter covers control-valve actuation, drive-switch wiring and the lighting circuits.
Manual Section: Electrical System p. 129Frequently Asked Questions
