hydraulic oil cooler fan fuse. If the indicator is lit, check

Jump start and auxiliary power
The engine can be started with auxiliary power if necessary,
by using appropriate (strong enough) jump start cables.
Connect first one end of the positive cable to the positive
(+) post of the dead battery. Then connect the other end
of the positive jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the
charged battery. Connect one end of the negative jumper
cable to the negative (-) post of the charged battery. Then
connect the other end of the negative jumper cable to
a solid, non-paint coated metal part of the engine of the
dead loader, as far from the dead battery as possible.
Read Operators Manual of the vehicle that is
giving auxiliary power, in order to make sure that
the vehicle suited for that. The vehicle can get
damaged when giving auxiliary starting power.
Never bypass battery or connect cables directly
to starter motor. Engine may get damaged.
Storage of the machine
Before long term storage clean the loader carefully and
check and touch-up painted surfaces if necessary in order
to avoid rust damages. Grease the greasing points and put
oil on piston rods of the cylinders. Take off the battery and
store it in the right way. It is recommended to perform the
yearly service before storage. Store the machine indoors
if possible. If outdoors storage is necessary, protect the
machine with the designated cover (part no. 65478). See
the engine owner’s manual to prepare the engine for long
term storage and how to start it after long storage period.
Refueling
Check fuel level and fill the tank if necessary. Make sure
to add fuel before the fuel tank gets empty. Should this
happen, a manual bleeding must be performed before
restart. If possible, refuel the loader after use to prevent
condensation of water into the fuel tank.
Use only clean fuel and take care when refueling
the loader to avoid dirt and water from entering the
fuel tank. Clean fuel cap and surroundings before
opening the cap. Always store fuel properly in an
approved container. Water in fuel can cause severe
damage to engine injection system.
Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before
refueling. Do not spill fuel when refueling. Should
this happen, wipe the fuel away immediately
in order to avoid risk of fire. Keep fuel away
from sources of ignition. Do not smoke during
refueling.
Check all fuel lines for tightness and wear on a regular
basis. Tighten or repair them as needed. Check fuel system
thoroughly and clean the fuel tank after every 2 years.
Metal structures of the loader
Contact Avant service in case the steel structure
of the loader gets damaged. A faulty reparation
can cause a dangerous situation.
In case the ROPS safety frame or the FOPS canopy
of the machine gets damaged, the machine must
be taken to Avant service for checking. It is not
