Battery maintenance
Battery connector
In addition to the automatic main switch, also
disconnect the battery if the loader will not be used
for a longer period of time, or when servicing the
machine. The battery pack can be disconnected
manually from the loader by disconnecting the main
battery cable.
Pull the connectors apart from each other fully
disconnect battery. Disconnect battery in at least the
following cases:

before you do any maintenance that requires
access near electric motors or other main electric
parts

before maintenance of any electric component

before you disconnect any electric cable

there is a risk of fire

when loader is being transported

there is visible mechanical damage on battery

when you plan to store the loader for long
storage period.
1. Ensure correct charge level
Make sure the battery is sufficiently charged
depending on use, planned storage period, and
ambient temperatures. See page 74 for information
about storage in hot or cold environments. To ensure
long battery life, never allow the battery to become
fully discharged during storage.
2. Cleaning of battery
Keep the exterior surfaces of the battery clean.
Disconnect the battery connector before cleaning the
battery to avoid potential short circuit and electric
shock.
Clean the battery only with water-soaked rags
without additives. Never use running water or
pressure washers to clean the battery pack as this
may result in water entering the battery pack and
causing damage.
After cleaning, the battery surface must be dried by
suitable means, e g with compressed air or cleaning
cloths. Hot air devices with open flame or glow wires
must never be used.
Avoid soaking the air filters of the battery with water.
Clean the outer surfaces of the air ventilation ports
with rags, and clean or replace the air filter elements
as described in this manual.
WARNING
Risk of battery damage and acid
spill - Never use pressure
washer to clean the battery.
Pressure washer can damage the
battery cells or the caps on top of
the battery, allowing water to enter
battery. This will result in battery
damage, and can also cause
battery electrolyte (acid) to spill
from battery. Clean battery as
instructed in this manual.
3. Check battery and cables visually
Battery
The battery cells are mechanically protected against
damage by the outer shell of the battery, but in
severe accidents cells inside of the battery might be
deformed. Check the outer surfaces of the battery for
signs of dents, deep scratches, cracks, and
corrosion. Discontinue use of the battery if there are
signs of mechanical damage on it.
Mechanically damaged batteries must not be left
unattended as they may self-ignite. In case a battery
is mechanically damaged, contact Avant dealer or
Service Point. See pages 19 and 20 for information
about potential fire hazard.
Cables and insulators
Check the battery, all cables, and insulators visually
for signs of dirt and mechanical damage. Make sure
all cables are routed and fastened in a way that
prevents them from becoming chafed during use of
the loader. If there are signs of wear on any cable or
insulator, prevent further damage to the cables and
service the loader before continuing use.
