Gehl SL6620, SL6625 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Loss of hydraulic power
Weak or dead loader and attachment function usually comes from low or contaminated hydraulic fluid, a clogged filter, or leaking lines. The Hydraulic System section covers the cylinders, hoses and tubing, hydraulic testing, and control valve relief pressure to trace the loss.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System p. 67Hydraulics work then fail under load
Function that fades under load often points to a slipping or broken pump drive coupling between the engine and pump, or a worn belt. The Hydrostatic System section covers the drive motor, hydrostatic testing, and neutral, forward, and reverse operation used to isolate it.
Manual Section: Hydrostatic System p. 47Machine will not crank or start
A no-crank or intermittent start can be a weak battery, loose connections, or a starter and safety circuit fault. The Electrical System section provides troubleshooting for a start that will not crank and for a system that does not function.
Manual Section: Electrical System p. 97Engine overheating
Overheating typically follows low coolant, a clogged radiator, or restricted airflow from debris. The Engine section covers the air cleaner, exhaust assembly, fan belt adjustment, and related engine service that keep cooling in order.
Manual Section: Engine p. 99Brake wear or poor holding
Worn pads or misadjusted brakes cause weak holding and drag. The Drive section covers disc brake adjustment, brake pad replacement, and the brake cables, along with the traction drive neutral and servo adjustments.
Manual Section: Drive p. 29Frequently Asked Questions
