the dashboard. When the switch is activated, the rear hydraulics outlet is controlled with the
auxiliary hydraulics control lever.

Operating on slopes and uneven terrains
To make sure that the pulling and braking force of the loader are sufficient, moving loads of over 1000 kg is
prohibited on steep slopes. Maximum allowed longitudinal inclination is 10°. Drive slowly on slopes an d avoid
sudden changes in speed or direction. When loading the trailer on uneven terrain extra care must be taken

Maintenance and service
Continuous maintenance of the trailers includes regular cleaning and lubrication, as well as monitroing the
condition of the hydraulic hoses and components.
Keep the trailer clean and store it in a way that the drawbar locking or the hydraulic hoses are not in contact
with ground. To clean the trailer a pressure washer and a mild detergent may be used.
Check the condition of the hydraulic hoses and components regularly when the engine has been turned off
and the pressure has been relieved. Repair all leaks immediately after detecting them; a small leak can
quickly grow into a big one. Do not use the equipment, if you have discovered a fault in the hydraulic system.
Leaking hydraulic fluid may penetrate the skin and cause serious injuries. Hydraulic fluid is also harmful to
the environment.
Check hoses visually for cracks or abrasions. Monitor the wearing of the hoses and stop the use, if the
surface layer of the hose has worn off. If there are signs of leaking, to check the component, hold up a piece
of cardboard in the area where a leak is suspected. Finding any of these faults means that the hydraulic
hose or component in question must be replaced. Spare parts are available from your nearest AVANT
retailer or service point.
