Installing of service support and frame lock
The frame can be locked with
the red frame lock. This way
the loader frame stays straight
during e.g. transportation.
Install the frame lock in the
holes on the front and rear
frame and secure it with the
cotter pin.
Make sure that the boom stays
up during maintenance operations
by putting the service support on
the lift cylinder piston rod. Secure
the service support by locking it
on the piston rod with the long
screw that is on the support.
The red service support of the boom lift
cylinder is located at the tip of the boom,
behind the attachment coupling plate. The
frame lock is located over the articulation
joint, under the seat base, and is fastened
with a bolt.
Safety instructions for maintenance
Stop the engine and let it cool down
before starting any service operation.
Put the service support on the boom lift
cylinder when working under the boom.
Install the frame lock when lifting the
machine, for instance when changing tyres
Check hydraulic hoses and components
only when the engine is stopped and hydraulic pressure
is released. Repair all leaks as soon as you have noticed
them, because a small leak can quickly change into a
big one. Do not operate the machine if you have
noticed faults or leaks in hydraulic system. Leaking
hydraulic fluid can cause serious personal injuries and
is harmful to the environment.
Check hydraulic hoses for eventual cracks and wear.
Follow the wear of the hoses and stop operation if
the outer layer of any hose has worn out. If there are
signs of oil leakage, put a piece of cardboard under
the probable leakage place in order to find the leakage.
If you find a fault, the hose or the component must
be replaced. Contact your Avant dealer or service for
spare parts.
Releasing the pressure of hydraulic system
Make sure that there isnt pressure in the hydraulic
system that could cause danger during service
operations.
In order to release the pressure in hydraulic system
stop first the engine and lower the boom down
completely. Move all control levers, including control
lever of telescopic boom and auxiliary hydraulics, to
extreme end positions a couple of times. Remember
that the boom or attachment can move when releasing
the pressure. Move the levers until all movements
have stopped.
Wear protective glasses and gloves
when servicing the machine.
The fluids in the machine are
harmful to the environment. Take
waste oil and fluids to recycling
station.
Never handle pressurized hydraulic components, because ejection of high
pressure hydraulic fluid can cause serious injuries. Do not operate the machine
if you have noticed a fault in the hydraulic system. Consult a doctor immediately
if hydraulic fluid penetrates your skin.
