OEM #913301 documents one machine across 224 pages: the RS5-19 Telescopic Handler, from engine removal and hydrostatic pump work through telescoping boom teardown and chassis access. Electrical schematics walk the starter, park brake, and steering mode circuits one branch at a time, while the hydraulic schematics trace every line from the main control valve out to boom lift, extend, tilt, and steering. The hydraulic section alone carries 11 pages of troubleshooting charts and step-by-step pressure tests for each actuator. Front and rear wheel nuts torque to 450 ft.-lb. (607 Nm); the filter bypass trips at 50 PSI (345 kPa), so overdue service is never a guess. Stop chasing faults with a multimeter and a prayer. Everything is bookmarked and keyword-searchable, so you can open it on a tablet, walk to the machine, and start wrenching.

Gehl RS5-19 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Boom won't lift or extend; hydraulic functions slow or unresponsive under load p. 125
Check hydraulic fluid level first; reservoir capacity is 18.0 gal. (68 L). Verify the filter is not in bypass: threshold is 50 PSI (345 kPa) per page 22. Connect a gauge and confirm pump output reaches 3350 psi (230 bar) at the main control valve, following the test on page 125. Pull and inspect the filter element before condemning the pump.
Manual Section: Hydraulic SystemEngine turns over but won't start or dies immediately after key release p. 50
Inspect fuses and the fuel shut-off solenoid wiring before pulling anything apart. Follow the starter circuit troubleshooting procedure on page 50, checking relay continuity and voltage at the solenoid terminal in sequence. Verify fuel is present; the tank holds 17.0 gal. (64 L), and a sender reading full on a slope can still pull air. Check key switch continuity last.
Manual Section: ElectricalPark brake won't release, machine stationary with no drive response from controls p. 126
Test park brake pilot pressure at the brake circuit port; spec is 370 psi (25 bar) per page 126. If pressure is absent, check the park brake fuse and relay following the procedure on page 50. Low hydrostatic charge pressure can also prevent brake release, so test the hydrostatic circuit before condemning the brake valve.
Manual Section: Hydraulic SystemSteering feels heavy or fails to respond in one or all steering modes p. 131
Measure steering circuit pressure at the test port; spec is 2400 psi (165 bar) per page 131. If pressure is low, inspect the steering control valve for internal leakage; removal and installation procedures are in the Steering section starting at page 77. Verify hydraulic pump flow reaches 22 GPM (83 L/min) at 2750 RPM before condemning the steering valve.
Manual Section: SteeringHydraulic fluid visible under machine, hose or fitting leaking at high pressure p. 18
Clean the area around the leak before pressurizing; pinhole leaks under 3350 psi (230 bar) are injection hazards. Torque all 37-degree flared tube nuts to spec: 1/2-inch O.D. fittings take 35-40 lb-ft (47-54 Nm) per page 18. Depressurize fully before removing any hose. Replace seals and O-rings with genuine parts; reusing compromised seals on high-pressure circuits invites repeat failures.
Manual Section: Hydraulic SystemBoom extends and lifts but attachment tilt cylinder or fork self-leveling stops responding p. 129
Gauge the attachment tilt cylinder pressure at the service port; spec is 3350 psi (230 bar) per page 129. For fork self-leveling failures, check the slave cylinder check valve, which should hold 65 psi (4.5 bar) per page 130. A bypassing valve lets the forks drift under load. Inspect the cylinder seals using the repair procedure.
Manual Section: Hydraulic SystemFrequently Asked Questions
What do the GEHL RS5-19 warning lights and error codes mean?
Page 19 lays out the Indicator and Operation Symbols that represent the machine's functions and statuses: Ignition Off, Engine Start, Hydraulic Oil, Engine Oil Pressure, Fuel, Engine Electrical Preheat, and the various steering modes. Page 22 covers the Monitoring Lights, including Engine Oil Pressure, Alternator, Engine Coolant Temperature, and Hydrostatic Drive Oil Temperature.
What are the replacement specifications for Hydraulic filters?
It's a return-type, 16-micron, replaceable element. Rated flow is 35 GPM (132 L/min), rated pressure 1000 PSI (70 bar), and bypass pressure at full flow 50 PSI (345 kPa).

Document Quality
This document is a mixed-format PDF, primarily featuring native digital text with embedded raster images for illustrations and schematics. You can search the full text and copy content from most pages, as an OCR layer is present. The text is consistently crisp and easy to read, while diagrams and photos are clear with readable labels, even the detailed electrical and hydraulic schematics. Pages are clean, free from scan artifacts or skewed content, though you will find several blank pages that act as section separators.
