  • Page 43: Maintenance And Service

    Repair all leaks immediately after detecting them; a small leak can quickly grow into a big one. Operate the attachment only with type of hydraulic oil that is accepted for use in Avant loaders. Risk of high pressure fluid injection through skin - Release residual pressure before maintenance.

  • Page 44: Cleaning The Attachment

    Finding any fault means that the hydraulic hose or component must be replaced and the equipment must not be used until it is repaired. Spare parts are available from your nearest AVANT retailer or authorised service point. Leave the repair work to professional service technicians, if you don’t have adequate knowledge and experience about hydraulic assemblies and how to perform the repairing safely.

  • Page 45: Lubrication

    45 (50) 7.4 Lubrication There are a total of 19 lubrication points at the joints of the backhoe. If a tilting bucket adapter is installed, there are 3 additional lubricating points. A small amount of grease should be added regularly. Correct lubrication interval depends heavily on operating conditions but lubricant must be added at least after every 10 hours of use.
