Gehl SL3635, SL3935 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Gehl SL3635 lift controls fail to respond and hydraulic cylinder action is extremely slow.
Top off the hydraulic reservoir to its 8.0 US gal (30 L) capacity, called out on page 17, then inspect hoses for leaks. If air got into the system, cycle the lift and tilt cylinders at full stroke to bleed the circuits.
Manual Section: Hydrostatic System Troubleshooting GuideAuxiliary hydraulic functions do not operate and lift/tilt lock solenoids do not work. p. 121
Inspect the wiring at the spool lock solenoid, clean off any corrosion, and test the relay. A replacement solenoid coil takes 45 in-lbs (5,1 N•m) on the retaining nut, per page 121. Confirm the restraint bar is fully lowered.
Manual Section: Electrical System Troubleshooting GuideEngine turns over but will not start or engine overheats under heavy load. p. 154
Work through the cooling system: fan belt deflection should sit at 1/2" (13 mm) under a 20 lbs (27 N•m) load, specified on page 154. Look for loose intake clamps or cracked rubber elbows, then drain and refill the radiator.
Manual Section: Engine Troubleshooting GuideJerky liftarm and bucket action combined with a loud, noisy hydrostatic drive system. p. 96
Swap the hydraulic oil filter element every 500 hours of operation or once a year, per page 18. Drain the hydraulic tank, refill with fresh fluid, and cycle the controls at full stroke to purge trapped air.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System Troubleshooting GuideFrequently Asked Questions
Where is the fuse or relay reset for a GEHL SL3635/SL3935?
The SL3635/SL3935 run circuit breakers at several amperages, 8A, 15A, and 35A, any of which can trip and need a reset. You'll find the 8A and 15A breakers on the Electrical Instrument Panel (Fig. 9-2, page 9-2); the 35A breaker shows up in Relay Test and Operation (page 9-6). Before you reset one, check the wiring diagram and track down the underlying fault first.
What are the replacement specifications for hydraulic filter?
Replace the hydraulic oil filter element every 500 hours of operation; on a new skid loader, do the first change at 50 hours. The correct capacity element is listed in the GEHL Service Parts manual. Before installing, wipe a light coat of oil on the new element's gasket, then secure it to the filter head.
