Service and maintenance



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.

20.

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.

21.

Service the hydraulic

attachment locking

Check the correct locking of the attachment daily
before starting to use the loader and its attachments.
Both locking pins must lower easily completely down,
through the holes of the brackets of an attachment.

If the locking pins do not lower completely down stop
using the loader and service the quick coupling plate.

Remove the cover panels on front of the quick
coupling plate. Clean the cavities around the locking
pins and the hydraulic cylinder and its linkage.

22.

Check articulation joint

Check for excessive play and ensure proper
lubrication

Check the articulation joint at the first 50 hour
service, and then at least after every 400 hours of
use or annually. If there is play in the joint, the joint
must be serviced to prevent severe damage of the
joint.

If there is play in the joint and it is not repaired in due
time, the play will increase rapidly, causing severe
damage to the front and rear frames. Wear can be
slowed with proper lubrication and by removing play,
if these actions are made in early stages. Contact
Avant service if there is play in the articulation joint.

Wear of the articulation joint is usually caused by
lack of lubrication. Keep the loader clean and ensure
adequate lubrication of the articulation joint.

Check tightness of bolts

The articulation joint is fastened to the rear frame
with a series of M12 Allen bolts. Check the tightness
of the bolts after the first 50 hours of use and then
after every 400 hours, or annually.

The bolts of the articulation joint must be tightened to
136 Nm.
