Everything an operator has to know before lifting with the Gehl RS6-34 telescopic handler fits into the 86 pages of this Gehl RS6-34 operator manual PDF, form number 913323, from the dash panel switches to the mandatory safety shutdown procedure. Hydraulic and electrical schematics anchor the maintenance section, and the load zone charts beside them let you check rated capacity against boom extension before a pallet ever leaves the ground. A long safety chapter sets out the rules for personnel work platforms, and the lubrication pages name the fluids for the hydraulic reservoir, axles, transmission and grease fittings. Expect 3000 psi (207 bar) at main relief and 2000 psi (138 bar) at steer relief, and fill the crankcase with 15.5 qts. (14.7 L). A faded load decal is a poor guide at full reach. Chapter bookmarks and a live text layer find any fluid spec fast, so your parts counter order is right the first time.

Gehl RS6-34 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Gehl RS6-34 engine oil pressure lamp comes on during normal operation with the engine running
Stop the engine immediately when this lamp lights, as page 25 directs. Let the oil drain down for a few minutes, then check the dipstick and keep the level at the FULL mark. Crankcase capacity is 15.5 quarts (14.7 liters), per page 45. If the lamp comes back with the level correct, note the symptoms and contact your Gehl dealer.
Manual Section: Engine Oil Pressure Troubleshooting p. 25Brake failure lamp comes on during normal operation with the brake pedal depressed
Treat the lamp as a loss of pressure in either the front or the rear brake system. The two systems are independent, as page 25 explains. Before you leave the seat, lower the boom and attachment to the ground, shut off the engine and engage the park brake, as page 13 requires. Then follow the Mandatory Safety Shutdown Procedure and have the brakes repaired before the machine goes back to work.
Manual Section: Brake System Troubleshooting p. 25Diesel engine requires repeated starting attempts, and the battery frequently becomes discharged or runs down
Turn the key back to OFF between starting attempts so the battery doesn't run down (page 24). If the battery keeps going flat, have it checked for dead cells, then trace the electrical system for short circuits or damaged wire insulation (page 57). Never bypass the keyswitch, and jump-start only by the Service and Storage procedure (page 13). Do not smoke while you work around the battery (page 14).
Manual Section: Jump Starting Troubleshooting p. 57PWP switch lamp keeps flashing and parking brake fails to engage after applying service brakes
Set up the machine as page 53 describes before testing. Park on level ground with the boom fully lowered, the frame level and the transmission in neutral. Set the parking brake switch OFF, and plug in the remote switch and set it to ENGAGED. Apply the service brakes; after three seconds the lamp should stay on steadily. If any check fails, do not use the machine and contact your Gehl dealer.
Manual Section: Service and Storage p. 53Push-pull control cable shows increased no-load friction and reduced usable travel
Disconnect the cable at both ends and check its no-load friction. If friction has gone up, gradually or suddenly, or if usable travel has dropped, replace the cable (page 52). Also replace any cable that has moisture inside or has frozen, and never heat a cable to dry or thaw it. Do not adjust a cable with the engine running. Do not remove the seals or lubricate it.
Manual Section: Control Cable Troubleshooting p. 52Front boom leaf chains on a new machine or after chain replacement becoming slack
Run the boom out slowly and inspect the leaf chains for wear and tension, as page 57 describes. Torque the two chains on the top front of the boom to 25 ft.-lbs. (34 Nm) and lubricate them with 80W-90 oil. On a new machine, or after the chains are replaced, retorque the front double chain assembly at 100 hours so a chain can't jump off a sheave.
Manual Section: Service and Storage p. 57Frequently Asked Questions
What are the engine oil filter and engine oil replacement specs for the Gehl RS6-34?
For John Deere engines, the engine oil filter part number is 102173. The engine oil capacity is 15.5 quarts (14.7 liters). Recommended oil grades vary by ambient temperature, such as SAE 15W-40 for 5°F to 122°F (-15°C to 50°C). p. 45
What is the procedure for checking the hydraulic system relief pressures?
Before checking, ensure the engine speed is 800 RPM at idle and 2500 to 2550 RPM at high idle. For the main relief pressure, plug a 3000 psi (207 bar) gauge into the port labeled 'MP' and fully retract the boom; the gauge should read 3000 psi (207 bar). p. 61
What is the required wheel nut torque for the Gehl RS6-34?
On new machines, or anytime a wheel has been removed, the wheel nuts must be torqued to 450 ft.-lbs. (610 Nm). p. 52
How often should the boom leaf chains be checked and what is the torque specification?
The boom leaf chains should be checked and torqued at the 250-hour service interval. The two chains on the front of the three-section boom must be torqued to 25 ft.-lbs. (34 Nm). p. 57
What is the procedure for checking the transmission oil level?
The machine must be on level ground with the engine and transmission at operating temperature, parking brake on, transmission in neutral, and engine at low idle. Remove the access cover to the transmission and hydraulic pump, then remove the dipstick to check the level and add oil to reach the FULL mark. p. 51
