Cabs
AVANT 525LPG can be equipped, as an option, with
cab L or LX.
Cab L mounts on the ROPS safety frame. It consists
of windscreen, windscreen wiper and washer, right
side window and rear window.
Cab LX consists of windscreen, windscreen wiper
and washer, right side window, rear window, door
and heater.
Switches are located on the control panel right (see
page 14). Heater temperature adjustment on cab LX
is located in the footwell left.
Windscreen washer tank and filler cap are located
outside the cab, in front of the windscreen on the left.
Heater
Cab LX is equipped with a warm water heater which
works like a central heating system, circulating the
coolant of the engine. Cab temperature can be adjusted
with the rotary switch of the heater. Air flow can be
directed with the nozzles on the front panel and in
the footwell. Heating efficiency and air flow can be
adjusted with the fan.
The cab is also equipped with an air circulation system:
There is a ventilation hatch below the seat in the
footwell. The hatch is opened and closed with the
lever in the middle. As soon as the hatch is opened
the heating system starts to take warm air from the
cab and circulates it through the nozzles back in the
cab. This way the cab warms up quicker in cold
weather.
NOTICE: Switch off the air circulation as soon
as the temperature in the cab is sufficient,
otherwise moisture starts to condense on the
windows.
The cab is also equipped with a replaceable cab air
filter. The filter cartridge (part no. 65118) can be
changed from outside the cab, under the door on the
left side (see picture above)
Safety
Familiarise yourself with the special drive features and
space needs of this articulated loader, equipped with
cab, on a flat, even and open place. Remember that,
when turning, the cab extends beyond
the turning radius of the wheels. This
should be taken into consideration
especially when driving in confined
spaces, in order that the rear of the cab
will not get damaged.
If necessary, the windscreen can be
broken with the emergency hammer in
the cab. This way it is possible to get
out of the cab in an emergency situation.
The fuse box on machines with cab LX
is located outside the cab, on the right
side below the windscreen.
