However, like all of us, loaders can experience additional strain when exposed to prolonged periods of extreme temperature, particularly if they aren\u2019t maintained or operated correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help keep your machine performing at its best, we\u2019ve produced a quick guide on how to keep your Avant loader well-maintained and safe for use during periods of intense heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-check-all-fluid-levels-before-commencing-work\" class=\" wp-block-heading\"><strong>Check all fluid levels before commencing work<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with a car, tractor or any other vehicle, you should routinely check all fluid levels before operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For diesel-powered models, remember to check engine oil levels with the dipstick, the coolant via the overflow bottle and the hydraulic oil level with the loader boom fully lifted, ensuring the cold fluid reaches the bottom marker line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before checking fluid levels, always ensure your Avant loader is parked on a flat surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-check-engine-or-battery-cooling-radiators\" class=\" wp-block-heading\"><strong>Check engine or battery cooling radiators<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s also important to regularly check and clean the engine or battery cooling radiators before use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Debris like dust, grass and dirt can block airflow, causing the machine to overheat \u2013 especially during heavy hydraulic use, warm weather and dust-heavy droughts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To prevent this, first remove side covers and blow out any accumulated debris from the radiator fins using compressed air. Next, inspect the antifreeze overflow bottle to ensure the coolant isn\u2019t running low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow these steps and keep an eye on temperature alerts while working in hot conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-allow-your-loader-to-cool-down\" class=\" wp-block-heading\"><strong>Allow your loader to cool down<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just like any machine, your Avant needs a chance to rest \u2013 particularly when working in high temperatures or carrying out tasks that place heavy demands on the hydraulic system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ensure you stop the machine at regular intervals to allow the loader to cool down and don\u2019t leave the engine running unnecessarily when the loader is not in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-pay-close-attention-to-alerts\" class=\" wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pay close attention to alerts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with any vehicles, you need to pay close attention to warning lights and alerts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In hot weather, keep an eye on temperature warnings, coolant or hydraulic system alerts and any other indicators that could signal an issue. If a warning appears, stop the machine and act accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-avant-tecno-your-trusted-partner-for-tackling-hot-summer-work\" class=\" wp-block-heading\"><strong>Avant Tecno \u2013 your trusted partner for tackling hot summer work<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Finland in 1991, our founder produced the world\u2019s first compact loader \u2013 a multi-functional machine designed to tackle a wide range of tasks with ease and efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, since then, that same innovation that started our company has continued to shape Avant as we develop compact, versatile and hardworking machines to this day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As standard, Avant loaders are diesel-powered and are available in a range of different sizes, from the powerful 700-series to the compact 400-series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With over 200 attachments designed to meet the needs of our customers, our machines support productivity across construction, plant hire, agriculture, landscaping, equestrian and property maintenance applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those looking to reduce emissions, our range also includes the fully electric Avant e-series, delivering the same power as diesel machines of the same size with added benefits including low noise and low running costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re looking for an all-singing, all-dancing machine that can support you year-round \u2013 from hot summers to cold winters \u2013 choose Avant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer 2026 has seen multiple heatwaves in the UK, with temperatures rising to highs of 38\u00b0C.
