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.
This AVANT Sand/salt spreader is an attachment that has been designed and manufactured to be used with AVANT multi purpose loaders.

13(12) Conventional quick couplings: 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 or to disconnect the standard quick couplings, move the collar at the end of the female fitting. The hoses should be connected so that the fitting equipped with a coloured cap is connected to the corresponding fitting of the loader.
14(12) 5.4. Uncoupling and storage of the sand spreader Uncouple and store the spreader on level surface, so that it will stand firmly on its two outriggers and support wheels. Lower the attachment so that the support wheels touch the ground lightly, and drive the loader to turn the support wheels on the side of the quick coupling plate (or turn wheels manually).
15(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 spreader 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.
16(12) 6.2. Operating the spreader Filling the spreader: Fill the spreader only when it is firmly attached to the loader. Lower the spreader on the ground and observe that the spreader and loader might tilt when adding load to spreader. Avoid staying directly in front of the spreader.
