Avant 860i Service and maintenance
131
A correctly operating engine keeps its rpm steady at
all rpm levels when there is no load or only small
load. If the engine stalls, or the rpm level changes
unusually, the engine should be checked and
serviced. Check that the engine reaches its normal
operating temperature and holds it steady. If you
suspect or if you have noticed changes in the
performance of the engine, if the oil consumption has
increased, or if you notice a change in the colour of
the exhaust gas, contact your Avant service point.
19. Check ECU diagnostics (Avant
860i only)
If the Check engine indicator light is lit the loader
should be serviced at the earliest opportunity. The
performance of the engine may be reduced, or the
emissions of the engine may have increased due to
a fault in the engine.
Some engine related error codes can be checked
from the Error information page of the multi-function
display. If error messages or codes are active,
contact Avant service to solve the detected faults.
Some diagnostics error codes are only stored in the
ECU memory and may not show the Check engine
or Engine malfunction symbols on the multi-function
display. Full diagnostics of the engine ECU require
Kohler service tools. Contact your Avant service for
information. A diagnostics CAN port near the
dashboard is intended for use by service technicians.
20. Check the safety frame, seat,
seat belt, lamps, and other safety
related equipment
Check, test, and, if necessary, clean all safety
related equipment of the loader.

Check the ROPS and FOPS structures for visible
damages. If ROPS or FOPS is damaged they
must be replaced with new ones.

Check the installation, condition, and
adjustments of the seat. Make sure the
suspension system works and that it can be
adjusted. Test all adjustments. Clean the surface
of the seat with appropriate cleaning supplies.

Check and test the seat belt. Make sure the
buckle locks firmly and can be released easily.
Test the reeling of the seat belt, the belt must
reel in completely, and it must lock instantly
when pulling the belt quickly. Clean the seat belt
with damp cloth and mild soap.

Test all lamps and lighting devices. If the loader
is equipped with road traffic light kit, check the
alignment of the headlights. Check and clean all
reflecting parts.

Check the grip surfaces on the floor of the loader
and on the access steps. Clean the surfaces and
replace if necessary.

Check that the boom service support and the
frame lock are stored in their place and that they
have the necessary locking parts.

Test the function of the reverse beeper, if
installed on the loader.
If the loader is equipped with a cab:

Check the condition of the windscreen. Cracked
or worn windscreen must be replaced.

Check the opening of the side window and door.
Test the side window hatch pin so that the
window can be opened completely.

Check the emergency window hammer and its
markings. Make sure a hammer is available and
usable for emergency situations.

Check that the door and windows close firmly
and that their gaskets are in good condition.

Check the operation of the ventilation fan. The
fan must be in working order.

Check that the interior panels are not damaged
and that they are installed tightly. Loose or
damaged panels may cause contact with sharp
edges, and may in some cases cause difficulties
to operate the controls of the loader.
21. Test function of all controls and
equipment
Check the condition and test the function of
additional control switches and equipment installed
on the loader. Depending on which options are
installed, check, for example, the electric connector
and switching of the attachment control switch pack,
anti-slip valve, drive speed selection switch, boom
floating, work lights, and other functions annually.
