Refueling
Check the fuel level and ll the tank if necessary. Make
sure to add fuel before the fuel tank gets empty. If possible,
refuel the loader after use to prevent condensation of water
into the fuel tank.
Use only ultra low sulfur diesel fuel. Use of other fuels is
not allowed, as the operation of emission control systems
and the engine injection system are dependent on clean
and high quality fuel.
Always stop the engine and allow it to
cool before refueling. Do not spill fuel
when refueling. Should this happen,
wipe the fuel away immediately in
order to avoid risk of re. Keep fuel
away from sources of ignition. Do not
smoke during refueling.
Use only clean fuel and take care
when refueling the loader to avoid
dirt and water from entering the
fuel tank. Clean fuel cap and
surroundings before opening the
cap. Always store fuel properly in
an approved container. Water in
fuel can cause severe damage to
engine injection system.
Check all fuel lines for tightness and wear on a regular
basis. Tighten or repair them as needed. Check fuel system
thoroughly and clean the fuel tank after every 2 years.
If you run out of fuel:
Add recommended type of diesel fuel from a clean
container. Switch on ignition key of the loader to position
ON, but do not start. Allow the electric pump to circulate
fuel for a couple of minutes before you start.
If you are running low on fuel and operate the loader on
tilted ground, the loader may stall as fuel ow to the engine
may be temporarily interrupted. Add fuel to prevent stall on
uneven surfaces.
1. General condition of loader
• Check the metal parts for damages or rust.
◦ Do not use the loader if you see damaged, bent,
corroded, or deformed metal parts. Contact Avant
service for service, if necessary.
• Ensure all safety decals are in place and legible.
◦ Never operate loader if safety decals are damaged or
missing. Replace safety decals when needed.
• Check the underside of the loader and ground for
leakages. Also check ground/oor surface for signs of
leakage.
◦ Never operate, if leakage is observed. Repair all leaks
before use. Clean all leakages.
• Check the condition of the safety frame, seat belt,
lamps, and other safety equipment:
◦ Safety frame (ROPS) and protective roof (FOPS)
must be tted
◦ Safety structures must not have visible damage or
deformations. They must be replaced with new ones
after any incident.
◦ Make sure all lighting devices are functional and clean
◦ Check operation of reverse beeper (if installed)
