Gehl Skid-Steer Loader SL5640

There is a chaincase on each side of the loader. Refer to the Maintenance Interval Chart (page 75) for change intervals. Refer to the Lubrication chart (page 53).

1. Park the loader on a level surface. Stop the engine.

2. Remove the fill and check plug (Figure 34) from each chaincase cover. The oil level should be at the plug level or no more than 1/4 in. (6 mm) below.

3. If the level is low, add fluid through the fill and check plug; (Figure 34) until the oil level reaches the check plug hole. Reinstall the plug.

1. Park the loader on a level surface, or on a sloping surface with the loader facing downhill and the tires blocked.

2. Remove the drain plug on each chaincase and drain the oil (Figure 35) into a suitable container.

3. Reinstall and tighten the drain plugs.

Important: Check the cooling system daily to prevent overheating, loss of performance and engine damage.

Allow sufficient time for the oil cooler to cool before working on or near it. Parts get extremely hot during operation and can burn you.

The oil cooler assembly is mounted between the engine and the hinged rear door. When operating correctly, air is blown through the openings between the fins by the engine fan.

During operation dust and debris can build up on the engine side of the oil cooler and restrict air flow through the fins.

Check if there is dust and debris build up on the engine side of the oil cooler.

To remove this restriction, use compressed air or a water hose and direct the flow through the fins from the rear of the cooler towards the engine.
