CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
This Operator’s Manual gives the owner/operator information about maintaining and servicing SL4635, SL4635SX,
SL4635SXT, SL4635DXT, SL4835SXT and SL4835DXT skid loader models. 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.
The Gehl®Company asks that you read and understand the contents of this manual COMPLETELY and become
familiar with your new machine BEFORE attempting to operate it. Contact your Gehl dealer to obtain extra manuals or
manuals in other languages. A SAFETY VIDEO IS ALSO AVAILABLE for purchase through your Gehl dealer.
Throughout this manual, information is provided that is set initalic type and introduced by the word NOTE or
IMPORTANT. Be sure to read carefully and comply with the message. Following this information will improve your
operating and maintenance efficiency, help avoid breakdowns and damage, and extend your machine’s life.
A manual box in the ROPS/FOPS stores the Operator’s Manual. After using the manual, please return it to the box 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.
The attachments and equipment available for use with this machine have a wide variety of potential applications. Read
the manual provided with the attachment to learn how to safely maintain and operate the machine. Be sure the machine is
suitably equipped for the type of work to be performed.
Do not use this machine for any application or purpose other than those described in this manual. If the machine is to be
used with special attachments or equipment other than those approved by Gehl, consult your Gehl dealer. Any person
making unauthorized modifications is responsible for the consequences.
“Right” and “left” are determined from a position sitting in the seat and facing forward. From this position:
If your loader is T-Bar controlled: The left T-Bar controls the wheel drives and the right T-Bar controls the lift and tilt.
If your loader is Hand & Foot controlled (either electric or mechanical auxiliary): The left handle controls the wheel
drive on the left side of the machine. The right handle controls the wheel drive on the right side of the machine. The left
foot pedal controls the lift. The right foot pedal controls the tilt.
If your loader is Dual Hand controlled: The left handle controls the wheel drive on the left side of the machine and the
lift. The right handle controls the wheel drive on the right side of the machine and the tilt.
The use of skid steer loaders is subject to certain hazards that cannot be eliminated by mechanical means, but only by
exercising intelligence, care and common sense. Such hazards include, but are not limited to, hillside operation,
overloading, instability of the load, poor maintenance and using the equipment for a purpose for which it is not intended
or designed.
It is essential to have competent and careful operators, who are not physically or mentally impaired, and who are
thoroughly trained in the safe operation of the equipment and the handling of loads. It is recommended that the operator
be capable of obtaining a valid motor vehicle operator’s license.
Our dealership network stands by to provide you with any assistance you may require, including genuine Gehl service
parts. All service parts should be obtained from your Gehl dealer. Give complete information about the part and include
the model and serial numbers of your machine. Record these numbers in the space provided on the previous page, as a
handy reference.
Gehl Company reserves the right to make changes and improvements in the design and construction of any part without
incurring the obligation to install such changes on any unit previously delivered.

The Gehl Company, in cooperation with the American Society
of Agricultural Engineers and the Society of Automotive Engineers,
has adopted this Safety Alert Symbolè
to pinpoint precautions which, if NOT properly followed, can create a safety
hazard. When you see this symbol in this manual or on the machine itself,
you are reminded to BE ALERT! Your personal safety is involved!

CHAPTER 4
The above Safety Alert Symbol means ATTENTION!
BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS
INVOLVED! 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 operate this equipment, read
and study the following safety information.
In addition, be sure that every one who
operates or works with this equipment,
whether family member or employee, is
familiar with these safety precautions.
The Gehl Company ALWAYS considers the operator’s
safety when designing its machinery, and guards
exposed moving parts for the operator’s protection.
However, some areas cannot be guarded or shielded in
order to assure proper operation. Furthermore, this
Operator’s Manual and the decals on the machine warn
of additional hazards and should be read and observed
closely.
Do not modify the ROPS/FOPS unless instructed to do
so in options installations. Modifications such as
welding, drilling or cutting can weaken the structure and
reduce the protection it provides. A damaged
ROPS/FOPS cannot be repaired - it must be replaced.
Different applications may require optional safety
equipment, such as a back-up alarm, horn, mirror, strobe
light or an impact-resistant front door. Be sure you know
the job site hazards and equip your machine as needed.
DANGER
“DANGER” indicates an imminently
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
“WARNING” indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION
“CAUTION” indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury. May also alert
against unsafe practices.
Mandatory Safety Shutdown Procedure
BEFORE cleaning, adjusting, lubricating, servicing
the unit or leaving it unattended:
1. Move the drive control handle(s) to the “neutral”
position.
2. Lower the lift arm and attachment completely. Also,
see Step 4 below.
3. Move the throttle to the low idle position, shut off
the engine and remove the key.
4. If the lift arm MUST be left in the “raised” position,
BE SURE to properly engage the lift arm support
device instead of performing Step 2.
ONLY after these precautions can you be sure it is
safe to proceed. Failure to follow the above
procedure could lead to death or serious injury.
907808/CP0300 12 PRINTED IN USA
SAFETY

Additional Safety Reminders
ÜSome 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.
ÜTo ensure safe operation, replace damaged or
worn-out parts with genuine Gehl service parts,
BEFORE operating this equipment.
ÜGehl skid loaders are designed and intended to be
used ONLY with Gehl Company attachments or
approved referral attachments. The Gehl Company
cannot be responsible for operator safety if the
loader is used with a non-approved attachment.
ÜThe terrain, engine speed, load being carried, and
abrupt control movements can affect machine
stability. IF MlSUSED, ANY OF THE ABOVE
FACTORS CAN CAUSE THE LOADER TO
TIP, THROWING YOU FORWARD OR OUT
OF THE UNIT, CAUSING DEATH OR
SERIOUSINJURY. Therefore, ALWAYS have
the operator restraint bar lowered and wear the seat
belt. Operate the controls smoothly and gradually at
an appropriate engine speed that matches the
operating conditions.
ÜFor additional stability when operating on inclines
or ramps, ALWAYS travel with the heavier end of
the loader toward the top of the incline.
ÜDO NOT raise or drop a loaded bucket or fork
suddenly. Abrupt movements under load can cause
serious instability.
ÜNEVER attempt to by-pass the keyswitch to start
the engine. Use only the jump-starting procedure
detailed in the Service chapter of this manual.
ÜNEVER use your hands to search for hydraulic fluid
leaks. Instead, 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.
ÜNEVER use ether or starting fluid in an engine with
glow plugs.
ÜRemove all trash and debris from the machine each
day, especially in the engine compartment, to
minimize the risk of fire.
ÜALWAYS wear safety glasses with side shields
when striking metal against metal. In addition, it is
recommended that a softer (chip resistant) material
be used to cushion the blow. Failure to heed could
lead to serious injury to the eyes or other parts of the
body.
ÜNEVER push the lift/tilt T-Bar control into the
“float” position with the bucket or attachment
loaded or raised, because this will cause the lift arm
to lower rapidly.
ÜDO NOT drive too close to an excavation or ditch;
BE SURE that the surrounding ground has adequate
strength to support the weight of the loader and the
load.
ÜDO 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.
ÜNEVER carry riders. Do not allow others to ride on
the machine or attachments, because they could fall
or cause an accident.
ÜALWAYS look to the rear before backing up the
skid loader.
ÜOperate the controls only from the operator’s seat.
ÜALWAYS face the loader and use the hand holds
and steps when getting on or off the loader. DO NOT
jump off the loader.
ÜBe sure all persons are away from machine and give
a warning before starting engine.
ÜDO NOT exceed the rated operating load of the
machine.
ÜExhaust fumes can kill. Do not operate this machine
in an enclosed area unless there is adequate
ventilation.
ÜWhen you park the machine and before you leave
the seat, check the restraint bar for proper operation.
The restraint bar, when raised, applies the parking
brake and deactivates the lift/tilt controls.
