Inspections, maintenance and servicing

Continuous  maintenance  of the  silage forks  includes  regular  cleaning  and  lubrication.  The  condition  of  the
hydraulic  hoses  and  components  should  be  monitored  regularly.  Due  to  crushing  and  pinching  hazards
caused  by  the  grapple,  all  maintenance  work  must  be  done  when  the  grapple  has  been  lowered  down
completely, the hydraulic couplings are released, and the residual pressure is released.

All  maintenance  procedures  must  be  performed

when  the  grapple  has  been  lowered  down

completely. The grapple may lower by itself causing

serious injuries.

Check the condition of the hydraulic hoses and components regularly 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.

Never  tighten  a  hydraulic  fitting  that  is  under

pressure, since the fitting may break and the ejected

oil  may  cause  serious  injuries.  Do  not  use  the

equipment,  if  you  have  discovered  a  fault  in  the

hydraulic system.

The lower tines of the silage forks are made of strong forged steel. During use the tines will wear down and
also sharpen. The lower tines are replaceable, spare parts are available from your AVANT dealer.
