Service and maintenance
To ensure long service life it is important to maintain the loader in good condition. Lack of maintenance will cause
premature wear of the loader and can result in unsafe operation.
The maintenance procedures listed in this chapter can be performed by trained or otherwise experienced
operators.
If the maintenance schedule is not followed, and services made are not marked in the table in this manual, the
warranty may not cover for damages of the loader.
Service parts are available through your Avant dealer or authorised service.
If you are not sure about how to do any service operation, ask for additional information
before starting servicing. Contact Avant service.
Safety instructions

Stop the engine and let it cool down before starting any service operation.

Put the service support on the boom lift cylinder when working under the boom. Keep
boom lowered otherwise.

Install the frame lock when lifting the machine, and, for instance, when changing
tyres.

Before working on the engine or equipment, disconnect the battery.
Safe handling of hydraulic components
DANGER
Never handle pressurised components. High-pressure ejection of fluid
may penetrate skin and cause serious injuries. Before handling
hydraulic components, make sure that the hydraulic system of the
attachment and the loader are completely depressurised. Do not hold
your hand near a fitting when tightening or opening it, and never use
hands to search for leaks. If a leak is suspected, set a piece of
cardboard to detect a leak.
Seek medical attention immediately in case hydraulic fluid is injected
through the skin. Also skin contact with the oil can be harmful, wash
hands thoroughly after contact with oil.
WARNING
Always wear protective gloves, safety goggles and
protective clothing. Also skin contact with the oil
can be harmful, wash hands thoroughly after
contact with oil.
