If you sell or transfer the equipment, be sure to hand over this manual to the new owner. If the manual is lost or damaged, you can request a new one from your Avant dealer or from the manufacturer.
Using the broom is allowed only by using the controls of the loader while sitting on the driver’s seat of the loader. For cleaning large yard or road areas we recommend the Avant Collecting Broom.
6 (26) 3. Safety instructions 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, all operators must carefully familiarise themselves about correct use and the operator's manuals of both the loader and the attachment before starting operation.

A46772 Do not go under a raised attachment or loader boom; stay away from raised equipment. A46803 Crushing hazard, floating attachment bracket and side turning.
11 (26) 5. Attaching the broom to the loader Attaching the attachment to the loader is quick and easy, but it must be done carefully. The attachment is mounted to the loader boom by using the quick attach plate on the loader boom and the counterpart on the attachment.
On 400-700 series loaders hydraulic hoses are connected using the multi connector system. If you have an Avant 300-700 series loader with the conventional quick couplers and wish to change to the multi connector system, contact your Avant dealer or service point for instructions or installation services.
13 (26) To disconnect the multi connector system, 1. Switch off the auxiliary hydraulics of the loader. 2. While pushing unlock button, turn the lever to disconnect the connector. 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.
14 (26) To prevent freezing of the watering system, ensure that during cold seasons all water is drained from the system. The pump of the watering system will get damaged if water gets frozen inside it. Disconnect the water hoses to drain the system completely. 6.
15 (26) 6.1 Checks before use Before starting work, remove large items that can’t be collected with the broom from the working area. Drive carefully on uneven terrain and note the effect of heavy load at the front of the loader to the stability and handling of the loader.
16 (26) 6.2 Operating the broom The broom is operated with the auxiliary hydraulics of the loader. The broom has two operating modes: Auxiliary hydraulics control lever: (or electric joystick buttons): Lower broom down Broom rotate Lif broom up Direction of operation: The broom is intended to rotate only to its normal operating direction so that the...

17 (26) Rotating speed: Use high engine rpm for best collecting results. Depending on the loader model and drive speed, one or two hydraulic pumps may be used. Note that unnecessarily high rotating speed will wear the broom down more quickly, so the speed should be set according to operating conditions, material being handled, and the drive speed.
18 (26) 6.2.1 Broom position support pins In the lower position, the broom rests on its suppoerting pins. These pins determine the gap between the broom and the edge of the bucket. Set the pins so that when the broom is positioned as in the figure above, the broom will press the ground lightly, and make sure that there will be a gap between...
19 (26) 6.3 Water spraying system A water spraying system is available for reducing the spreading of dust during use of the broom. The system contains: 1. 150-litre water tank and an electric pump under the tank 2. shut off valve 3.
20 (26) 6.3.1 Installing the water spraying system The fixing points for the watering system are on the broom as standard and the watering system can be installed later. The installation kit includes all necessary components and the electric harness to operate the watering system.
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...
22 (26) 7.2 Cleaning and lubrication Clean the broom as soon as possible after use, so that it is easier to remove all dirt. A pressure washer and mild detergent can be used. Avoid using solvents or spraying directly at the bristles or hydraulic parts at high pressure.
23 (26) 7.4 Bucket edge plate The edge plate of the bucket can be replaced as needed. The spare part code for Bucket broom 1100 is A416775 and for 1500 A416406. Replace also the fasteners of the plate. Replace the plate before the frame of the bucket gets in contact with the ground.
