7(12) Note that the blower may throw sand or other objects found in the operating area up to 30 metres away at high speed. Always keep a safety distance of at least two metres between the snow blower and other persons. Do not allow others at the danger areas of the blower and stop the snow blower immediately, if there are others in the direction of snow throwing.

10(12) 5. Assembly of the snow blower The attachment is ready for use as delivered. Attach the attachment and its hydraulic hoses to the loader as instructed below. 5.1. Attaching the snow blower to the loader Mounting the attachment to the loader is quick and easy, but it must be done carefully. An attachment that has not been locked may come off from the loader and cause hazardous situations.
On 400-700 series loaders hydraulic hoses are connected using the multiconnector system. If you want to change the type of the hydraulic couplings, contact your Avant dealer or service point for instructions or installation services. On 200-series loaders only conventional quick couplings are available.
Page 12
12(12) Conventional quick couplings (alternative couplings for some loader models): Before connecting or disconnecting the standard quick couplings, the residual pressure must be released as shown below. The conventional quick couplings will not connect, if there is pressure in the hydraulic system. To connect and disconnect the standard couplings, move the collar at the end of the female fitting.
13(12) 5.3. Electrical connection The electric discharge chute rotation can be controlled with the electric harness provided with the snow blower. If the blower is also equipped with electric throwing height adjustment, the attachment control switch pack is also necessary (400-700 series loaders). Discharge chute rotation A cable harness with a 2-way switch is delivered ■...
14(12) 6. Instructions for use Check the attachment and the operating area once more before starting work. Quick inspection of the equipment before starting to use it is part of ensuring safety and the best performance of the equipment. Practise the use of the blower at an open and safe area. If you are unfamiliar with the loader model in use, it is recommended to practice its use without any attachments.
15(12) Check that the discharge chute guard is locked in its place before operating the snow blower. Using the blower without the guard in its place is prohibited. Ensure that the chute is directed towards safe direction before starting the blower. Operate the manual throwing height adjustment only when the blower is stopped.
16(12) 6.2.1. Discharge chute rotation The electric discharge chute can be used when the ignition key of the loader is turned to switch on the electric outlet of the loader. The chute will rotate 260° ; turning dir ectly towards the loader is blocked. Make sure that the chute is directed to safe direction at all times.
17(12) 6.2.3. Removing a blockage Clogging of the feed auger is in most cases caused by drive speed. If the auger can’t throw the snow fast enough, drive speed must be reduced. Clogging of the discharge chute is affected by the type of snow in addition to engine rpm.
Finding any of these faults means that the hydraulic hose or component must be replaced. Spare parts are available from your nearest AVANT retailer or 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.
