Gehl SL7810E Common Problems This Manual Covers
High-flow auxiliary hydraulics do not work
The high-flow auxiliary circuit fails to function. A raised restraint bar, a malfunctioning spool lock solenoid, or a poor electrical connection to the solenoid are the documented causes.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System p. 126Lift arm will not raise or lower
The lift arm stays put. Check that the lift arm support device is disengaged and the restraint bar is lowered, then test the lift solenoid and its wiring.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System p. 124Hydraulic cylinder leaks or weak performance
Loss of hydraulic performance or visible leaks usually mean worn cylinder seals or leaking hose and tube fittings. A new seal kit should be installed in any leaking cylinder.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System p. 136Engine stalls or will not restart
The Cummins engine loses power, stalls, or is hard to restart after filter changes, often from air in the fuel line or clogged filters that need bleeding. The Lubrication section covers fuel and air filter service.
Manual Section: Lubrication p. 174Weak drive or no charge pressure
Sluggish or unbalanced drive can come from low charge pressure or a hydrostatic pump fault. The Hydrostatic System chapter covers charge pressure testing, adjustment, and pump service.
Manual Section: Hydrostatic System p. 119Wheel and axle hardware loosens
Loose wheel or axle hardware causes vibration and wear. Torque the wheel nuts and axle housing locknuts to the values in the Wheel Drives section.
Manual Section: Wheel Drives p. 56Frequently Asked Questions
