INTRODUCTION
The information in this Operator's Manual was written to give the owner/operator assistance in preparing, adjusting,
maintaining and servicing
of
the Loader. More importantly, this manual provides an operating plan for safe and proper
use
of
the machine. Major points
of
safe operation are detailed in the
SAFETY
chapter
of
this manual. A chart
of
standard
hardware torques
is
located in the back
of
this manual.
The
GEHL

attempting
to
operate
it.
Throughout this manual, information
is
provided which is set in italic type and introduced by the word
NOTE.
Be sure
to read carefully and comply with the message or directive given. Following this information will improve your operating
or maintenance efficiency, help you to avoid breakdowns or damage and extend your machine's life.

the container and keep it with the unit at all times!
If
this machine
is
resold, GEHL Company recommends that this
Manual be given
to
the new owner.
"Right" and "left" are determined from a position sitting on the Seat and facing forward. From this position:
If
your
Loader is T-Bar Controlled: the Propulsion (Traction) Control T-Bar is on the "left" and the Liftffilt Control
T-Bar
is
on the "right".
If
your
Loader is Hand/Foot Controlled: The "left" T-Bar controls the Propulsion (Traction) on the left side
of
the
machine. The
"right"
T-
Bar controls Propulsion (Traction) on the right side
of
the machine. The "leji" Foot Pedal controls
the Lift. The
"right" Foot Pedal controls the Tilt.
Our wide Dealership network stands by to provide you with any assistance you may require, including genuine
GEHL
service parts. All parts should be obtained from or ordered through your GEHL Dealer. Give complete information about

ATTENTION!
BECOME
ALERT!
YOUR
SAFETY
IS
IN-
VOLVED! It stresses an attitude
of
"Heads Up for
Safety" and can be found throughout this Operator's
Manual and on the machine itself.
BEFORE
YOU
ATTEMPT
TO
OPERATE
THIS
EQUIPMENT,
READ
AND
STUDY
THE
FOL-
LOWING
SAFETY
INFORMATION.
IN
ADDI-
TION,
MAKE
SURE
THAT
EVERY
INDIVIDUAL
WHO
OPERATES
OR
WORKS
WITH
THIS
EQUIPMENT,
WHETHER
FAMILY
MEMBER
OR
EMPLOYEE,
IS
FAMILIAR
WITH
THESE
SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS.
Our Company ALWAYS takes the operator's safety
into consideration when designing its machinery, and
guards exposed moving parts for the operator's protection. However, some areas can NOT be guarded or
shielded in order to assure proper operation. In addition, this Operator's Manual, and Decals on the machine, warn
of
further danger and should be read and
observed closely.

an
imminently hazardous
situation which,
if
not avoided, will result
in
death or serious injury.

MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
BEFORE
unclogging, cleaning, adjusting, lubricat-
ing or servicing the unit:
1. Move the Propulsion Control T-bar(s)
to
the "neutral"
position.
2. Lower the Lift Arm and Attachment completely.
Also, see Step 5, below.
3. Move the Throttle
to
the low idle position, shut the
Engine off and remove the
Key.
4. Apply the Parking Brake.
S.
If
the Lift Arm MUST be left
in
the "raised" position,
BE SURE
to
properly engage the Lift Cylinder Me-
chanical Lock instead
of
performing step
2.
ONLY when you have taken these precautions can
you be sure it is safe to proceed. Failure to follow
the above procedure, could lead to death or serious
injury.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY REMINDERS
e
Some
photographs
in this manual may
show
Doors, Guards and Shields open or removed for
illustrative purposes
ONLY.
BE SURE that all
Doors, Guards and Shields are in their proper
operating positions BEFORE starting the engine
to operate the unit.
e To ensure safe operation, replace damaged
or
worn-out parts with genuine Gehl service parts,
BEFORE attempting to operate this equipment.
e GEHL Skid Loaders are designed and intended to
be used ONLY with GEHL Company Attachments
or
approved Referral Attachments. The GEHL
Company can NOT be responsible for operator
safety
if
the Loader is used with a non-approved
Attachment.
Page 13

ETV
(CONTINUED)
• The stability
of
a Skid Loader is determined by its
short wheel base. The following elements: the
terrain,
Engine
speed,
load
being
carried
or
dumped, and/or abrupt Control movements, can
affect stability.
IF
MISUSED, ANY
OF
THE
ABOVE
FACTORS
CAN
CAUSE
THE
LOADER TO TIP, THROWING YOU FORWARD
OR
OUT
OF
THE
UNIT, CAUSING
DEATH
OR
SERIOUS INJURY. Therefore,
ALWAYS have the Operator Restraint Bar
"low-
ered"
and wear the Seat Belt. Operate the Controls
smoothly and gradually at an appropriate Engine
speed which matches the operating conditions.
• For additional stability when operating on inclines
or ramps, ALWAYS travel with the heavier end
of
the Loader to the top
of
the incline.
• NEVER attempt to by-pass the Keyswitch to start
the Loader Engine. Only use the jump-starting
procedure detailed in the service chapter
of
this
manual.
• Do NOT attempt to remove the Radiator Cap after
the Engine has reached operating temperature or
has overheated because the Engine Coolant will be
extremely
HOT
and under pressure. ALWAYS
wait for the Engine to cool down BEFORE attempting to relieve pressure and remove the Radiator Cap. Failure to heed could result in severe
burns.
• NEVER use your hands to search for hydraulic
fluid leaks, use a piece
of
paper or cardboard.
Escaping fluid under pressure can be invisible and
can penetrate the skin and cause a serious injury.
If
any fluid is injected into your skin, see a doctor
at once. Injected fluid MUST be surgically removed by a doctor or gangrene may result.
•
ALWAYS
wear safety glasses with side shields
when striking metal against metal. In addition, it
is also recommended that a softer (non-chipable
material) be used to cushion the blow. Failure
to
heed could lead to serious injury to the eyes or
other parts
of
the body.
• DO NOT raise or drop a loaded Bucket or Fork
suddenly. Abrupt movements under load can cause
serious instability.
•
DO
NOT push the Lift Control all the way forward
(into the
"float"
position) with the Attachment
loaded and the Lift Arm raised as this will cause
the Lift Arm to drop, very rapidly.
• DO NOT drive too close to an excavation
or
ditch;
BE SURE that the surrounding ground has ade-
quate strength to support the weight
of
the Loader
and the load.
• DO NOT smoke or have any spark producing
equipment in the area while filling the Fuel Tank
or
while working on the fuel
or
hydraulic systems.

Failure to heed could result in death or
serious injury.
30
LOADER MOVEMENT
The Hydrostatic Drive
of
the Skid Loader controls
forward and reverse direction and speed. As rapidly as
the Propulsion Control(s) are moved to the straight
"N
eutral" position, movement
of
the Wheels
is
slowed
accordingly.

Skid Loader operating skills are only obtained through
proper coordination
of
the Loader's forward and re-
verse movements, with raising and lowering the Lift
Arm and with rolling the Bucket forward and back. To
gain proficiency, practice all Control T-Bar operations
until you are capable
of
performing the movements
without mistake or hesitation.
NOTE:
If
the Loader Engine kills while either
T-Bar
is
being operated, the T-Bar must be re-
turned
to
its "Neutral" position before the Engine
can be restarted.

The
Parking Brake
is
NOT designed
for,
NOR intended
to
be used
as,
the primary means
of
stopping forward
or
reverse movement
of
the
Loader.
The
Propulsion Control T-Bar(s), when
returned
to
the "Neutral" position, provide Hydrostatic braking and are the primary means for
stopping Loader movement.
The proper sequence for correct Loader operation
is
to
always engage the Parking Brake before shutting off
the Loader Engine or to disengage the Brake ONLY
after the Engine is running and you are ready to move
the Propulsion T-Bar(s). In an EMERGENCY, when
it becomes necessary to STOP the Loader forward or
reverse movement, IMMEDIATELY, pull up on the

MATERIAL
DENSITIES
The Table at the right lists densities for some common
materials which could be carried in a Bucket. The
densities listed are average values and intended only
as a guide for Bucket selection. For a material which
is
NOT
in
the Table, obtain its density value before
selecting the appropriate Bucket.
To prevent exceeding the operating capacity
of
the
Loader, use the Table
of
Common Material Densities
to determine the proper size Bucket to use, based on
the type
of
material to be carried.
SAE
OPERATING CAPACITIES
Model
Weight
in
Ibs.
Weight in kg.
5625 1700
771
To use the table, find the material name and see what
its maximum density is. Then, divide the operating
capacity
of
the Loader by the material density to de-
termine the
maximum
size Bucket to use for a heaped
load.
NOTE:
Where the material density is listed as a
range (Clay
at
80-100 Iblff3, for examRle), always
use the maximum density (100
Ibslff
in this example) for making calculations. (Also, see the
following Examples.)
EXAMPLE
1:
If
clay (density
of
80-100 Ibs/ft
3
)
is
to
be hauled using a 5625 Loader, the maximum Bucket
size
is
(1700 Ibs
-+
100 Ibs/ft
3
= 17
cubic
feet
).
Therefore, you could safely use a Bucket that has a
capacity
of
17
cubic
feet
or
less.
EXAMPLE
2:
If
concrete (density
of
115 Ibs/ft
3
)
is
to
be hauled using an 5625 Loader, the maximum Bucket
size is (1700 Ibs
-+
115 Ibs/ft
3
= 14.8 cubic feet).
Therefore, you could safely use a Bucket that has a
capacity
of
14
cubic
feet
or
less.
ACAUTION
NEVER
exceed
the
rated
operating
capacity
of
the
Loader
as

Digging
with
and
Loading a Bucket
To dig with and load a Bucket, first lower the Lift Arm
down into contact with the Loader Frame and then roll
the Bucket's Cutting Edge down into contact with the
ground. Move the Loader into material and, as Engine
loads, roll Bucket back slowly and, at same time, pull
back gradually on Propulsion T-Bar(s) to decrease
travel speed while still maintaining Wheel torque.
When attempting to fill the Bucket while working with
most hard-packed materials, it will usually be necessary to raise the Lift Arm while rolling the Bucket
back. Also, avoid driving onto the material to be
picked-up,
if
at all possible.
WARNING
ALWAYS
carry
loaded
Bucket
with
Lift
Arm
resting
on
Loader
Frame.
For
additional
stability
when
operating
on
inclines,
AL
WA
YS
travel
with
heavier
end
of
Loader
to
the
top
of
the
incline.
With the Bucket filled, back the Loader away from the
material and rest the Lift Arm against the Loader
Frame before proceeding to the dumping area.
Dumping
the
Load
Onto a Pile
Carry loaded Bucket as low as possible until reaching
the pile. Slowly stop forward motion and raise the Lift
Arm high enough so that the Bucket clears the top
of
the pile. Then, slowly move the Loader ahead to position the Bucket to dump the material on top
of
the pile.
Empty the Bucket and back the Loader away while
lowering the Lift Arm and rolling the Bucket back.

Page 38
AWARNING
NEVER push the Controls into the "Float"
position with the
Bucket
or
Attachment
loaded
and/or
raised.
Doing
so
could
cause the Lift Arm to lower rapidly and the
Bucket or Attachment to dump.
Dumping the
load
Into a Box
Carry the loaded Bucket low and approach the truck,
trailer or spreader box squarely with the side
of
the
box. Stop your approach
as
close to the side
of
the box
as
possible while still allowing clearance for raising
the Lift Arm and loaded Bucket. Then, raise the Lift
Arm until the Bucket clears the top
of
the box and
move the Loader ahead to position the Bucket over the
inside
of
the box. After the material
is
dumped, back
away from the box and lower the Lift Arm while
rolling the Bucket back.
Dumping
the
load
Over
a
Solid
Embankment
ACAUTION
Do NOT drive too close to an excavation or
ditch; BE SURE the surrounding ground
has
adequate
strength
to
support
the
weight of the Loader and the load.
Carry the loaded Bucket
as
low
as
possible while
traveling toward the dumping area. Stop the Loader at
the position where the Bucket extends half-way over
the edge
of
the embankment. Then, roll the Bucket
forward and raise the Lift Arm to dump the material.
After the material
is
dumped, back away from the
embankment while lowering the Lift Arm and rolling
the Bucket back.
Scraping with a Bucket
For scraping, the Skid Loader should be operated in
the forward direction. First, position the Lift Arm
down against the Loader Frame. Tip the Bucket Cutting Edge at a slight angle to the surface being scraped.
While traveling slowly forward, with the Bucket in this
position, material can flow over the Cutting Edge and
collect inside the Bucket.

Page 39
Leveling with a Bucket
First drive the Loader to the outer edge
of
the area to
be leveled. Then, with the Lift Arm down against the
Frame, push the Lift/Tilt T-Bar
(TBar
Controlled
Loaders),
or Left Foot Pedal(Hand & Foot Controlled
Loaders),
into the "float" position and roll the Bucket
forward to place the Bucket Cutting Edge at a 30 to 45
degree angle to the surface being leveled. Proceed to
drive the Loader backwards dragging the dirt and, at
the same time, leveling it.
NOTE:
The
"f/oat" (detent) position for T-Bar
Controlled Loaders is reached
by
pushing the
right T-Bar all the way forward. For Hand -Foot
Controlled Loaders use your toe
to
push the front
of
the left Foot Pedal all the way down. This
position opens both work ports
to
the Reservoir
and thus allows the Lift Arm
to
"f/oat" while the
Bucket follows the ground contour.

LOADER RAISING PROCEDURE
The following procedure should be used to raise the Skid
Loader so that all four (4) Tires ARE
NOT
contacting the
ground.
AWARNING
BEFORE
beginning
this
service
procedure,
exercise
the
MANDATORY
SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
(page 10).
AWARNING
DO NOT rely on a
jack
or hoist to maintain
the
"raised"
position
without
additional
blocking and supports. Serious personal
injury could result from improperly raising
and/or blocking the Skid Loader.
1.
For blocking the Loader, obtain solid wooden blocks
that measure
6"
to
8"
wide and about
12"
long. Obtain
enough so that when stacked, the blocks for each
corner
of
the Loader will measure at least 7 1/2" tall.
The exact quantity will be determined once the
Loader is raised
off
its Tires.
2. Using a
jack
or hoist capable
of
lifting at the fully-
equipped weight
of
the Loader (with all attached
options), lift the rear
of
the Loader until the rear Tires
are
off
the ground.
3.
Place a 7
112"
stack
of
wooden blocks under the flat
part
of
the Loader Chassis. They should run parallel
with, but not touch, the rear Tires. (See Fig. 28)
4.
Slowly lower the Loader so its weight rests on the
blocks.
If
the Tires still touch the ground, raise the
Loader again, and add more blocks, then lower again.
5.
Repeat steps 2 thru 4 for the front end
of
the Loader.
When the procedure is finished, all four Tires should
be off the ground so they can be removed
if
necessary.
(See Fig. 28)
LOADER LOWERING PROCEDURE
1.
When service or adjustment procedures are complete,
the Skid Loader can be taken down from the "raised"
position. Lower the Loader back onto its Tires as
follows:
2.
Using a jack or hoist, raise the front
of
the Loader
until its weight no longer rests on the front blocks.
3.
Carefully remove the blocking under the front
of
the
Loader.
4.
Slowly lower the Loader until the front Tires are
resting on the ground.
5.
Repeat Steps 1 thru 3 for the rear
of
the Loader. When
the procedure is finished, all four (4) Tires should be
on the ground and the blocking should be removed
from under the Loader.

ENGINE
Skid Loaders are provided with separate Engine maintenance manuals which should be consulted for Engine
related specifications, adjustments, maintenance and
service information.
CONTROL
T-BARS
Both Control T-Bars are factory adjusted and should
require NO further readjustment.
Ifthe
Control T-Bars
are removed for service, refer to the Shop Manual or
your Gehl Dealer for proper settings and adjustment
details.

THROTTLE
LEVER & ACCELERATOR
PEDAL
The Skid Loader is equipped with a right
hand-operated Throttle Lever.
T-Bar controlled Loaders are also equipped with a
right foot-operated Accelerator Pedal.
The Cable and Linkage used to interconnect the
Accelerator Pedal to the Throttle Lever have adjustable
Yokes for altering the Cable length and amount
of
travel required to go from idle to full speed. The Cable
is
factory adjusted and should require NO further
readjustment.
If
the Cable
is
removed for service, refer
to the Shop Manual or your Gehl Dealer for proper
adjustment details.
In addition to the Throttle Cable adjustment, the
Throttle Lever Friction Pad pressure can be readjusted
if the Throttle Lever does NOT hold its position. A
Bellville Washer and Lock Nut are provided for
making this adjustment.
Page 43
PARKING BRAKE (Figs. 29 & 30)
The Parking Brake is linked by Cables to a Disc Brake
assembly located on the end
of
each Hydrostatic Drive
Motor. The end
of
the Brake Handle can be rotated (the
Handle MUST be in the "Released" position when mak-
ing an adjustment)
to
remotely adjust the Cable lengths
and, in tum, the Brake Calipers. After every 200 hours
of
operation, the Parking Brake function should be checked
and the Brakes adjusted by rotating the end
of
the Brake
Handle.
After numerous adjustments, the end
of
the Handle will
reach its limit
of
travel and NO longer affect Brake
adjustment. At this time, the end
of
the Brake Handle
should be turned back to the opposite end
of
its rotating
limits and the Adjustment Bolt on each Brake assembly
MUST be readjusted to obtain a Brake Pad
to
Disc gap
of
0.010" to 0.015" (measured with a feeler gauge).
Access to the Adjustment Bolt for each Brake is gained
by unbolting, tilting-back and locking the Overhead
Guard. BE SURE
to
readjust the Brake Handle before
attempting to adjust the Bolt on each Brake assembly.
Also, loosen the Lock Nut before turning the Adjustment
Bolt and
BE
SURE to retighten the Nut after the adjust-
ment
is
made.
After the Brake assemblies have been readjusted twice,
the Pads
of
both Caliper Brake assemblies will require
replacement.

DRIVE CHAINS (Fig. 31)
Drive Chains should be checked and adjusted after every
100 hours
of
operation.
To
properly adjust the Drive
Chain Tension on either side
of
the Loader, follow the
directions below.
1.
Raise the Loader
off
the ground following the
"Loader Raising Procedure" topic at the beginning
of
this chapter.
2.
Remove the Access Cover at the outside, center
of
the Chaincase (between the Wheels) to gain access to
the Drive Chain Front and Rear Take-up Assemblies.
3.
Rotate the Front and Rear Tires (by hand) towards
each other so that the slack sides
of
the Chains are at
the top.
4.
Working through the access hole, loosen the Jam Nut
and Lock Nut, and then tighten the Adjustment Nut
on either
of
the two Chains. This will cause the Idler
Assembly to lower and thereby increase tension on
the Chain.
5.
Correct Chain deflections

6.
If it
is
not possible to measure deflection, adjust the
Chain as follows: have an assistant attempt to turn the
Tire back and forth while you tighten the Adjustment
Nut. When
it's
no longer possible to turn the Tire by
hand, the Chain
is
tight enough for Loader operation.
7.
After the proper Chain tension is obtained, retighten
the Jam Nut and Lock Nut.
NOTE:
Overtightening
the Drive Chain will
cause premature Drive Chain
and
Axle Sprocket
wear.
8.
Repeat steps 4 through 5 for the other Chain.
9.
Repeat steps 2 through 6 for the other side
of
Loader.
10.
If
necessary, Replenish the Chaincase oil level to
1
112"
deep as measured directly below Access opening. (see Fig. 31) Then, reinstall both Chaincase
Access Covers using oil resistant RTV or equivalent
between the Cover and the Chaincase.
11.
Follow "Loader Lowering Procedure" topic at the
beginning
of
this chapter to return Loader to the
ground.

CLEAN RADIATOR & OIL COOLER FINS
AWARNING
Do NOT remove the Radiator Cap when the
Engine is HOT or overheated. Coolant is
extremely HOT and under pressure and it
can burn your skin. Wait for the Engine to
cool down BEFORE relieving the pressure
and removing the Radiator Cap. Also, Do
NOT
reach

HOT during operation
and can burn you.
The
Radiator
and the Oil
Cooler
assemblies are
mounted between the Engine and the Hinged Rear
Grill. When functioning properly, air is blown through
the openings between the coils and fins by the Engine
Fan. Over a period
of
normal operation, dust and debris
will build-up on the Engine side
of
the Radiator and
Oil Cooler and restrict air flow through the fins.
To
reduce or remove this restriction, use a hose and direct
the water flow through the fins from the rear
of
the
Radiator.

and/or
mount
tires.
Do NOT
place
your
fingers
on
the
tire
bead
or
rim
during
inflation;
serious
injury
or
amputation
could
result.
To
avoid
possible
death
or
serious
injury,

NOT use
oil
or
grease.
D
Use
a clip-on tire chuck with a remote hose
and
gauge which allows you to stand clear of the tire
while inflating it.
D NEVER inflate beyond 35 PSI (240 kPa) to seat
the beads.
If
the beads have NOT seated by the
time the pressure reaches 35 PSI, deflate the assembly, reposition the tire on the rim, relubricate
both parts and re-inflate. Inflation pressure beyond 35 PSI with unseated beads may break the
bead
or
rim with explosive force sufficient to cause
death
or
serious injury.

JUMP-STARTING
If
the Loader Battery becomes discharged or does
NOT have enough power to start the Engine, use
jumper
cables
and
the
following
procedure
to
jump-start the Loader Engine.
AWARNING
The ONLY safe method for jump-starting a
discharged Battery is for TWO PEOPLE to
carry-out
the
following
process.
The
second person is needed for removing the
jumper
cables so that the operator does
NOT
have
to
leave
the
Operator's
Compartment while the Engine is running.
NEVER attempt to make the
jumper
cable
connections
directly
to
the
Starter
Solenoid of
either
Engine. Do NOT start the
Engine from any position other than the
Operator's
Seat
and
then
ONLY
after
making sure ALL Controls are in "neutral".
Closely follow the procedures, in the order
listed, to avoid personal injury. In addition,
wear safety glasses to protect your eyes
and avoid leaning
over
the batteries while
jump-starting.
Do NOT
attempt
to
jump-start
the Loader
Battery if it is frozen as this may cause it
to rupture or explode.
64
NOTE:
BE
SURE that
the
jumper battery
is
also
a 12 volt
D.C.
battery.
1.
Tum the Keyswitches
of
both vehicles to OFF and
make sure that both vehicles are in "Neutral" and
NOT touching each other.
2.
Connect one end
of
the positive (+) jumper cable to
the positive
(+) Battery Terminal on the disabled
Loader first. Do NOT allow the jumper's positive
cable clamps
to
touch any metal other than the posi-
tive
(+) battery terminals. Connect the other end
of
the positive jumper cable
to
the jumper battery posi-
tive
(+) terminal.
3.
Connect one end
of
the negative (-) jumper cable to
the jumper battery negative (-) terminal.
4.
Make the final negative (-) jumper cable connection
to the disabled Loader's Engine Block or Loader
Frame (ground)
--
NOT to the disabled Battery's
Negative Post.
If
making the connection
to
the Engine, keep the jumper clamp away from the Battery,
Fuel Lines or moving Parts.
NOTE:
Twist
the
jumper cable clamps a couple
of times
on
the
battery terminals and ground
connection
to
ensure a good electrical path for
conducting current.
5.
Proceed to start the Loader.
If
it does NOT start
immediately, start the jumper vehicle engine to avoid
excessive drain on the booster battery.
6.
After the disabled Loader is started and running
smoothly, have the second person remove the jumper
cables (negative (-) jumper cable, first) from the
jumper vehicle battery and then from the disabled
Loader while making sure NOT
to
short the two
cables together.

MAINTENANCE
This Maintenance Interval Chart was developed to match the Service Chapter
of
this manual. Detailed information on
each Service Procedure may be found in the Service Chapter. A Maintenance Log follows the Interval Chart for recording
the Maintenance Procedures performed. Recording the
10
Hour (or Daily) service intervals would be impractical and is
therefore not recommended.
NOTE:
Under extreme operating conditions more frequent service than
the
recommended intervals
may
be
required.
You
must decide if your actual operation requires more frequent service based
on
your
use.
