Greasing lift arm pivots and topping up hydraulic oil today goes smoother with the Gehl SL7810E operator manual PDF open beside your skid-steer loader: 102 pages, document 917245/EP0310. Controls and safety equipment fill about a fifth of the book, explaining the restraint bar, safety interlock system and lift arm support device, before the operation chapter covers engine starting, connecting attachments and transporting the loader. Troubleshooting tables sort electrical, engine and hydrostatic drive faults by cause and remedy, while the maintenance chapter sets your intervals for the air cleaner, hydraulic oil, cooling system, drive chain and fuel filters. Fill the hydraulic reservoir to its 15 U.S. gal capacity listed on page 89, then run wheel nuts to 180 ft-lbs (244 N·m) and recheck them every two hours until the setting holds. A guessed torque figure is how wheels come loose. Bookmarked and text-searchable, the PDF stays with you wherever the loader is parked, cab or service truck.

Gehl SL7810E Common Problems This Manual Covers
Gehl SL7810E skid-steer loader engine turns over normally at the key but will not start
Check the fuel gauge first; gauge faults are covered in the electrical troubleshooting on page 75, so do not trust a reading you have not verified. Inspect the fuel filters per the maintenance schedule on page 85, then work down the will-not-start chart on page 77 cause by cause.
Manual Section: Engine Troubleshooting p. 77Engine overheats during steady loading work and the engine temperature gauge reads high
Check coolant level and service the cooling system following the maintenance schedule on page 85. Inspect the engine air cleaner while the engine compartment is open. If the gauge still reads high, confirm the gauge itself using the electrical troubleshooting on page 75, then work through the overheating chart on page 77.
Manual Section: Engine Troubleshooting p. 77Engine starts and runs but drive, lift and tilt functions give no response at all
Verify the operator restraint bar is fully lowered and the safety interlock system is engaged, following the controls section starting on page 21. Test the lift, tilt and drive lock solenoids using the electrical troubleshooting chart on pages 75 and 76. If the solenoids check out, move on to the hydrostatic drive troubleshooting chart.
Manual Section: Electrical System Troubleshooting p. 75Bucket drifts out of position and lift and tilt cylinder action turns slow and jerky
Check the hydraulic oil level and top it up following the hydraulic oil service on page 69. Change the hydraulic oil on the interval in the maintenance schedule on page 85 if it is due. Then work through the bucket drift, slow cylinder action and jerky action entries in the hydraulic troubleshooting chart.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System TroubleshootingAfter hours of steady pushing, the hydrostatic drive overheats and acceleration turns sluggish
Check the hydraulic oil level and condition following page 69, and confirm the hydraulic oil service is current against the maintenance schedule on page 85. Then work through the overheating and sluggish acceleration entries in the hydrostatic drive troubleshooting chart before replacing any parts.
Manual Section: Hydrostatic Drive System TroubleshootingOn a freshly mounted wheel, the wheel mounting hardware keeps losing its torque setting
Torque the wheel nuts to 180 ft-lbs (244 N·m) following page 70, before the first run and every two hours after that until the setting stabilizes. Check tire inflation at the same stop against 65 psi (345 kPa) on page 72 for the 14 x 17.5 tires.
Manual Section: Service p. 70Frequently Asked Questions
Why will the Gehl SL7810E starter not engage when the key is turned to START?
The starter may not engage if the seat or restraint bar switch is malfunctioning or not actuated, the battery is discharged or defective, or there are poor connections to the starter relay or solenoid. You should check the wiring for poor connections or broken leads, and verify that the starter safety relay is working properly. p. 76
How do I check the hydraulic oil level on the Gehl SL7810E?
The loader has a sight gauge located at the right rear of the skid-steer loader. You must check the fluid level with the lift arm lowered and the attachment resting on the ground. p. 68
What is the recommended torque for the lift arm pivot points on the Gehl SL7810E, 7810E skid steer?
The lift arm pivot points should be torqued to 240 ft-lbs (325 N·m). p. 70
What is the hydraulic reservoir capacity on the Gehl SL7810E, 7810E skid-steer loader?
The hydraulic reservoir has a capacity of 15 U.S. gallons (56.8 L). p. 89
What is the recommended torque for wheel nuts on the SL7810E?
Wheel nut torque must be checked before initial operation and every two hours thereafter until the torque stabilizes at the recommended setting of 180 ft-lbs (244 N·m). p. 70
