1. Foreword

Avant Tecno Oy would like to thank you for your purchase of this AVANT attachment. It has been designed

and manufactured on the basis of years of product development and experience. Read the instructions

carefully before starting to use the equipment or performing maintenance.

By familiarising yourself with this manual and following the instructions, you ascertain your safety and ensure

the reliable operation and long service life of the equipment. With these instructions, even an inexperienced

user can use the attachment and loader safely. The manual includes important instructions for experienced

AVANT operators as well. Ensure that all persons using the loader have received proper guidance and

familiarised themselves with the manual of the loader and attachment and all safety instructions before using

the equipment. Keep this manual at hand throughout the service life of the equipment. If the manual is lost or

damaged, you can request a new one from the retailer or manufacturer. If you sell or transfer the equipment,

be sure to hand over this manual to the new owner.

2. Designed purpose of use

The AVANT Push Broom is an attachment designed to be suitable for use with AVANT multipurpose

loaders. The push broom is a simple general purpose brush without moving parts, and it is ideal for quick

clearing of smaller areas. The broom is also very useful in paving work to push sand between bricks. The

brush will last long in use, and the bristle board can be renewed as needed.

The attachment requires only minimun maintenance. All maintenance tasks can be performed by the

operator. Familiarise yourself with the manual's instructions regarding service and maintenance. Please

contact your AVANT retailer if you have additional questions about the operation or maintenance of the

equipment or if you require spare parts or maintenance services.

3. Safety instructions for using the attachment

Please bear in mind that safety is the result of several factors. The loader-attachment combination is highly

powerful, and improper or careless use or maintenance may cause serious personal injury or property

damage. Due to this, you should carefully familiarise yourself with the manuals of both the loader and the

attachment before starting operation. Do not use the attachment if you have not completely familiarised

yourself with its operation and the related hazards.

The purpose of these instructions is to help you to:

•use the equipment in a safe and efficient manner

•observe and prevent any hazardous situations

•keep the equipment intact and ensure a long service life

•When attaching the broom to the loader, ensure that the locking pins of the loader's

quick attach plate are in the lower position and that they have locked the attachment

to the loader.

•The broom is to be used by one operator at a time. Keep a safe distance to others

when operating the loader.

•Pay attention to the contours of the terrain and, for example, loose rocks as well as

other hazards, such as branches and trees reaching the driver's area. Pay attention to

the surroundings and any other persons and machines moving in the vicinity.

•Never perform any maintenance or adjustments while the loader engine is running.

•Also read the safety instructions for the loader in the loader manual. Get to know the

loader controls and how to drive it safely, and also note driving on slippery areas.

4(8)

Note that the loader boom moves down and may be tilted even if the engine has been

stopped. Never go under a raised boom or to the danger area between the boom and

the attachment.

Remember to wear proper protective clothing:

•The noise level in the driver's seat may exceed 85 dB(A). Wear

hearing protection while working with the loader.

•The use of safety boots is recommended while working with the

loader.

•Wear protective gloves when handling hydraulic hoses.

•Wear dust mask when brushing sand or other dusty materials.

5. Assem ly of the room

Attaching the attachment to the loader is quick and easy, but it must be done carefully. If the attachment is

not locked to the loader, it may detach from the loader and cause hazardous situations. In the worst case,

the attachment may slide onto the driver along a raised boom. For this reason, the attachment must under

no circumstances be raised over one metre when it has not been locked. To prevent hazardous situations,

always follow the attachment mounting instructions provided in the following pages. Also remember the

safety instructions in Section 3.

The attachment is installed to the loader boom by using the quick attach plate and the counterpart on the

attachment. The locking pins are semi-automatic, they will lock when the attachment is tilted towards the

loader at low height. The broom is attached to the loader as follows:

Step 1:

•Lift the quick attach plate locking pin / locking

pins up and turn them backwards into the slot

so that they are locked in the upper position.

•If your loader is equipped with a hydraulic

attachment locking system, see additional

instructions about the use of the locking

system from the relevant manuals.

Step 2:

•Turn the quick attach plate hydraulically to an

obliquely forward position.

•Drive the loader onto the attachment. If your

loader is equipped with a telescopic boom,

you can utilise this.

Step 3:

•Lift the boom slightly – pull the boom control

lever backward to raise the attachment off the

ground.

•Turn the boom control lever left to turn the

bottom section of the quick attach plate onto

the attachment.

•Turn the boom control lever further to the left

so that the locking pins lock as they hit the pin

guides.

Before moving or raising the attachment,

ensure that the locking pins are in the

lower position and come through the

fasteners on both sides. Unlocked

attachment may fall on the boom or

operator and cause injuries.

6(8)

Do not use the automatic locking of the locking pins at a height of over one metre. If

the locking pins do not return to the normal position when the front plate is tilted, do

not raise the attachment any more. Lower the attachment on the ground and secure

the locking manually.

6. Instructions for use

Check the attachment and the operating environment once more before starting to work. Quick inspection of

the equipment and the operating area before use are parts of ensuring safety and the best performance of

the equipment.

•Check that all obstacles have been removed from the working area before operation. Remember

correct working methods and avoid leaving the driver’s seat unnecessarily.

•Ensure that the loader and attachment are used in a safe manner and as intended. Operate the

controls of the loader only when sitting at the driver’s seat.

•When using the leveller to transport objects, make sure that they stay firmly on the attachment. Use

load securing straps as necessary.

The push broom performs the best when the broom is

adjusted to a suitable position and when light load is applied

on it. The correct position of the broom depends of the

material being moved and surface type.

Avoid pressing the brush too much to avoid

damaging and quick wearing of the bristles.

Do not press the broom so that the front end

of the loader would lighten significantly.

Do not leave the brush against the ground when it is attached to the loader. The weight

of the boom could cause permanent bending of the bristles. Remove the brush from the

loader for storage.

7. Maintenance and servicing

You may use a pressure washer and mild detergent to wash the broom. Avoid using strong solvents or

spraying directly at the bristles. In addition, mind the labels on the attachment.

Before long storage periods, clean the attachment and touch up the paint where needed to prevent rust

damage. Ensure the support during storage, prevent the bending of the bristles.

The brush boars (A34085) is fixed with screws and can be

replaced as needed.
