Fresh tires going on, lift arm pivots due for a check, a safety interlock that won't release the controls: this 90-page Gehl SL7600, SL7800 operator manual PDF (form 908274) covers that kind of morning for both skid steer loaders. Controls and safety equipment take up the largest share of the book, from the operator restraint bar and interlock system to the lift arm support device, before the operation section covers starting the engine, changing attachments and working a bucket. Troubleshooting charts sort electrical, engine and hydrostatic faults; the maintenance schedule sets intervals for oils, drive chain, cooling and tire pressure. After mounting a wheel, recheck the nuts every two hours until they hold 180 ft-lbs (244 N·m), and torque your lift arm pivots to 240 ft-lbs (325 N·m). Guess at pivot torque and you pay for it in a wallowed pin bore. The file is bookmarked and text-searchable, and once you buy it, it stays yours for as long as you run this loader.
