Periodic service
These maintenance and service procedures may
require special equipment, tools, or skills. They are
recommended only for experienced and
knowledgeable individuals.
1. Change engine air filter
Change engine air filter at least annually. Change the
filter more frequently if operating the loader in dusty
conditions where the filter needs to be cleaned often.
To change the filter follow the instructions on page
120.
2. Change engine oil
Change oil while engine is warm. Engine oil can be
removed with a suction pump or drained to a suitable
container by opening the drain plug on the bottom of
the engine.
Add only correct type of oil. See the information in
this manual about type and volume of engine oil. Do
not start the engine if too much oil is added, remove
excessive oil before start.
3. Change engine oil filter
Kohler KDI
Engine oil filter is located on the left hand side of the
machine, and can be easily seen in the engine
compartment.
To change the filter:
1.
Loosen the filter housing cover by two turns.
2.
Wait for at least two minutes to allow oil to
drain from the filter housing
3.
Remove the housing cover
4. Change hydraulic oil
When changing hydraulic oil, you can remove the oil
with a suction pump or by opening the drain plug on
the right side of the front frame, next to the
articulation joint. In both cases it is important to clean
the magnetic drain plug. Hydraulic oil tank capacity is
50 litres.
Hydraulic oil type
Always use correct type of clean, high-quality
hydraulic oil with extra lubrication additives.
Recommended oil types are:

ISO VG-46 certified mineral oil

Mobil SHC™ Hydraulic EAL biodegradable
mineral oil based hydraulic oil
If ambient temperature is hot, higher viscosity oil may
be required. Contact your Avant dealer or authorized
service.
In freezing temperatures use high quality oil which
has wide viscosity index, and which is also intended
to be used in cold temperatures. Correct type of oil
makes cold starting easier, and improves the
performance of the loader in cold temperatures.
Never use plant based bio oils.
Only the bio oil type shown above
is approved for use. It ensures
wear resistance and performance
of the hydraulic system. Only this
oil can be added without flushing
the hydraulic oil circuits. Handle
waste bio oil as normal waste oil.
Never leave any oils into
environment. Always dispose of
hydraulic oil following local
regulations.
