Check engine coolant level
Never open the reservoir tank if the engine is hot.
Always check the coolant level when the engine is
cool.
WARNING
Risk of burns due to hot coolant
- Never open hot radiator or
reservoir.
Never open the
pressurized coolant reservoir while
engine is warm. Hot coolant may
burst out causing serious burns.
Allow engine to cool completely
before opening.
The cooling system of the engine uses a pressurized
reservoir tank. Coolant level should be above the
minimum marker on the reservoir, and at least 3 cm
below filler cap.
It is not necessary to open the cap to check the
coolant level, the level can be seen through the
transparent reservoir.
The coolant
reservoir is located
in the engine
compartment, on the
right side of the
engine. There is no
cap on the radiator
itself.
If necessary, add only 50% mixture of glycol
antifreeze and clean water to prevent internal
corrosion of the engine. Do not mix different type of
coolants as they might react chemically. If there is
frequent need to add coolant, there may be a leak or
other damage in the engine. Contact Avant service.
Check the antifreeze properties of the coolant
annually. Change engine coolant after every two
years as the anti-corrosion properties of the coolant
diminish over time.
12.
Check water separator
Water in fuel can cause significant damage to the
injection system of the engine. Always use only clean
fuel that is stored in containers that are approved for
storing of diesel fuel. The water separator itself may
not be able to remove all water from contaminated
fuel.
Avant 850:
On Avant 850 the main fuel filter and water separator
is located and easily accessible on the left side, as
shown in the picture below.
If water is visible in the cup, drain it by turning a
small plug on the bottom of the water separator.
Collect the water and dispose as used oil. Close the
plug tightly.
13.
Check engine air filter element
Check, and when necessary clean or replace the air
filter element. Replace filter after 400 hours of use or
annually.
The engine air filter
prevents dust and dirt from
entering the engine. In
dusty operating conditions
it may be necessary to
clean the air filter element
between its scheduled
replacement.
1.
Squeeze the rubber vent on the filter housing
cover to drain water and dirt from the filter.
2.
Wipe the outer surface of the air filter housing
clean before opening the filter.
3.
Carefully remove the filter cartridge by pulling it
out.
4.
To clean the filter, tap the closed end of the
filter gently against a flat, clean surface.
Never
use compressed air to clean the filter!
5.
Do not remove the inner element.
6.
Clean the inner components of the filter
housing with a damp cloth
