WARNING
Risk of injury to bystanders -
Avoid unintended movements of
the attachment:

If the auxiliary hydraulics is
switched on during starting
and there is a hydraulically
operated attachment on the
machine, the attachment can
move suddenly and cause a
dangerous situation.

Make sure that the auxiliary
hydraulics control lever is in
neutral position during starting.

Do not actuate the auxiliary
hydraulics control buttons on
the joystick (if fitted) when
starting.
. ..
Make sure that all the warning
lights on the control panel are off
when the engine is running. If the
engine does not start after a few
attempts, or runs poorly, See
troubleshoot 138.
After starting:
Allow the engine to warm up and
engine oil to circulate in the engine
for a moment before loading the
engine or increasing the engine
rpm.
Position of hand throttle lever
On Avant loaders equipped with the Kohler engine
the throttle lever should be kept at its minimum
setting when starting the engine. The lever must be
set to idle during or after starting the engine,
otherwise the engine rpm will not increase when
moving the lever.
.
Stopping the engine (Safe stopping
procedure)
1.
Lower the boom completely down. Place
attachment firmly on the ground, engage
parking brake, stop the attachment (move
auxiliary hydraulics control lever to neutral
position, see page 55), set engine rpm to idle.
NOTE: Allow the loader to idle for a moment
before stopping the engine, especially after
heavy load on the engine.
2.
Stop the engine by turning the ignition key to
the OFF position (to the left)
3.
Release auxiliary hydraulics pressure (see
page 93)
4.
Prevent unauthorised use of the loader. Take
off the ignition switch and turn the power off
with the battery disconnect switch.
Avant 860i:
To avoid engine wear end
damage, allow engine to idle
before you turn the engine off.
The turbocharger spins at high
speed and runs at extreme
temperatures during the use of the
loader. To allow the turbocharger
to cool down, allow the engine to
idle for a minute or more after
using the loader. Allow longer time
if engine has been under heavy
load. Idle speed allows engine oil
to circulate and to cool the
turbocharger.
Avant 850 is less susceptible to
damage as it does not have a
turbocharger, but it is
recommended to allow it to idle
and cool after heavy load.
