Service and maintenance
DANGER
Risk of personal injuries - If the loader is damaged or poorly maintained it can
cause or increase risks of unsafe operation.
To ensure long service life it is important to maintain the loader in good condition. The
maintenance procedures listed in this chapter can be performed by trained or otherwise
experienced operators. If you are not sure about how to do any service operation, ask for
additional information before you start any service or maintenance work.
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. Contact your
local Avant service or dealer for any questions or information.
Safety instructions
Always keep the following instructions in mind when doing any maintenance or
service:
Switch off the loader 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 electric system or battery, disconnect the battery.
Check hydraulic hoses for cracks and wear. Follow the wear of the hoses and stop
operation if the outer layer of any hose has worn out. If there are signs of oil leakage,
put a piece of cardboard under the probable leakage place in order to find the
leakage. Never use hands to search for leaks, read instructions in this manual about
safe handling of hydraulic components. If you find a fault, the hose or the component
must be replaced.
Contact your Avant dealer or service for spare parts.
