Service and maintenance Avant 860i

The loader is equipped with a
hydraulic oil cooler, which is located
at the right side of the loader, near the
controls of the loader. Make sure to
clean the oil cooler cell with
compressed air every time you are
servicing the loader - and even more
frequently if the loader is being used
in dusty conditions.
Depending on loader model and installed options,
there are two to four cooling fans on the loader: Keep
all coolers clean to ensure reliable operation and
long service life of the loader. If you operate the
loader in dusty conditions, clean the cooling fans and
surfaces daily:
1.
Hydraulic oil cooler is located on the right side
of front frame.
2.
Engine cooler in the engine compartment.
3.
On 860i, there is also an intercooler system on
the engine. Keep the intake area on top of the
engine and the fan clean. Do not place any
objects on the cooler assembly on top of the
engine.
4.
If the optional air conditioning system is
installed, there is a cooling fan at the rear of
the cab.
If the loader is equipped with air
conditioning: A condenser of the
air condition unit is installed behind
the rear window of the Cab. Clean
the condenser carefully. The
condenser can get damaged easily
if handled carelessly. Never use a
high pressure washer. You may
use compressed air gun carefully.
Avant 860i: Check / clean engine intake cooling
fan
The engine intercooler fan and its surrounding area
on top of the engine must be kept clean to avoid
engine damage, and for the best performance of the
engine. Check the fan and the surrounding area on
top the engine visually. If there is visible dust or other
dirt on them, clean with a wet cloth. Make sure that
dirt does not enter the engine air filter intake that is
connected to the intercooler assembly.
In demanding operating conditions the cooling fan
must be checked before each working shift.
4. Add grease to the lubricating
points
Greasing of the pivot points is
essential to avoid wear of joints.
Lack of greasing can cause
significant damage to the
articulation joint and boom pivots in
short period of time.
The following table and pictures
show the location of grease
nipples. Check the lubrication
points before each work shift.
Make sure all joints are lubricated and clean.
Suitable lubrication interval depends heavily on
operating conditions. The need for lubrication must
be checked at least after every 10 hours of use. Add
grease if the joints have become dirty. Adequate
lubrication of the joints must be ensured. Lack of
lubrication will cause the joints to wear quickly.
Use general purpose machine grease. A grease gun
is needed to apply grease to grease nipples. All
lubrication nipples are standard R1/8" nipples.
Replace any damaged nipples.
Clean the end of the nipple before greasing and add
only a small amount of grease at a time. New
lubricant will push out dirt from joints. Wipe excess
grease with a cloth.
