Printed by Gehl as Form No. 913258, this 74-page Gehl RS5-19 operator manual PDF is the factory book for this telescopic handler. Hydraulic routing from the gear and hydrostatic pumps through the main control valve to the lift and tilt cylinders is drawn on the hydraulic schematic, and the electrical schematic traces the fuse panel, relays, ignition switch, and alternator. Load zone charts for each carriage, the bucket, and the truss boom show how much of the 5500 lb. maximum you keep at every reach and height, and the maintenance interval chart lays out what falls due and when. Set tires to 60 psi, bring wheel nuts to 450 ft.-lbs. (610 Nm) on a new machine or after a wheel comes off, and expect the hydraulic filter to bypass at 50 psi. One loose wheel nut costs more than this book. Bookmarked and text-searchable, the PDF rides in the cab or the service truck, wherever your machine is parked.
