Inspections, maintenance and servicing

The most important factor in continuous maintenance of the concrete mixer is thorough and prompt cleaning
of  the  equipment.  Maintenance  includes  monitoring  the  condition  of  the  mixing  tools  as  well  as  regular
lubrication of the equipment. The drive chain must be checked and adjusted at least annually or after every
50 hours of use.

Ensure  that  the  concrete  mixer  is  properly  supported  during  all  cleaning,  inspection

and  maintenance  procedures.  Lower  the  attachment  on  even  ground  and  keep  it

attached  on  the  loader.  All  maintenance  procedures  must  be  performed  with  the

loader engine shut down and the hydraulic hoses disconnected.

Check the  condition  of the  hydraulic  hoses  and  components  when  the  engine  has  been  turned  off  and  the
pressure has been relieved. Repair all leaks immediately after detecting them; a small leak can quickly grow
into  a  big  one.  Do  not  use  the  equipment,  if  you  have  discovered  a  fault  in  the  hydraulic  system.  Leaking
hydraulic  fluid  may  penetrate  the  skin  and  cause  serious  injuries.  Hydraulic  fluid  is  also  harmful  to  the
environment.

Check  hoses  visually  for  cracks  or  abrasions.  Monitor  the  wearing  of  the  hoses  and  stop  the  use,  if  the
surface layer of the hose has worn off. If there are signs of leaking, to check the component, hold up a piece
of  cardboard  in  the  area  where  a  leak  is  suspected.  Finding  any  of  these  faults  means  that  the  hydraulic
hose  or  component  in  question  must  be  replaced.  Spare  parts  are  available  from  your  nearest  AVANT
retailer or service point. Leave the service for professional maintenance, if unsure how to perform the repair
safely.

Never  tighten  a  hydraulic  fitting  under  pressure,

since  the  fitting  may  break  and  the  released  oil

may  cause  serious  injuries.  Do  not  use  the

equipment,  if  you  have  discovered  a  fault  in  the

hydraulic system.

Cleaning the equipment

Clean  the  concrete  mixer  immediately  after  use,  since  this  makes  cleaning  easier.  Unload  any  remaining
material  from  the  bucket  to  a  suitable  place.  Use  only  water  to  clean  the  equipment.  You  may  use  a
pressure  washer  and  a  mild  detergent.  Do  not  use  strong  solvents  or  spray  directly  at  the  hydraulic
components or at the labels on the attachment either.

Touch up the paint where needed, or oil the metal parts lightly, and grease the lubrication points to prevent
rust  damage.  For  storage,  place  the  mixer  bucket  to  the  position  shown  in  section  5.2.  Do  not  store  the
attachment directly against the ground; place it on blocks of wood or on a pallet, for example.

To make cleaning of the mixer easier, the prtoective grille
can be tilted an locked to upright position with the rubber
strap  shown  in  adjacent  figure.  The  grille  is  intended  to
protect the operator and it must be placed to its operating
position  whenever  operating  the  mixer.  The  hazard  of
entanglement or crushing persist during maintenance, do
not operate the machine when the grille is lifted.
