The AVANT Mechanical side arm with S30 quick coupling system is an attachment that is intended for use with AVANT multi purpose loaders that are shown in Table 1. The side arm has a S30 type quick coupling for coupling attachments to the arm. The side arm is intended to be used with attachments that are specifically designed for use with a side arm, such as, for example, the S30 cutting bar A430938, and the S30 Multi- function drive unit A429926.
Never lift or move an unlocked attachment. The Mechanical side arm S30 is designed to be used by one operator at a time. Do WARNING not let others near the danger area of the equipment when it is in use.

18 (34) Disconnecting hydraulic hoses: Before disconnecting the fittings, lower the attachment to safe position on solid and level surface. Turn the control lever of the auxiliary hydraulics to its neutral position. When uncoupling the attachment, always disconnect the hydraulic couplings before unlocking the quick attach plate, to prevent hose damage and any oil spills.
1. Make sure the side arm or the hydraulic boom is connected and locked to the loader. The hydraulic and electric connectors must also be coupled. 2. Open the S30 coupling of the side arm with the Allen key that is stored at the Avant quick coupling plate of the side arm.
The loader must be equipped with the optional Attachment control switch pack. If it is not installed on the loader, it is not possible to fully operate the side arm and its attachments. Contact you Avant dealer or service point for more information about installation of the Attachment control switch pack, if necessary.
21 (34) 6. Instructions for use Check the attachment and the operating environment once more before starting to work, and that all obstacles have been removed from the operating area. Quick inspection of the equipment and the operating area before use are parts of ensuring safety and the best performance of the equipment.
Use only when all pins and hydraulic fittings are locked and secured in place. Make sure that the side arm S30 quick coupling and attachment counterpart are in good condition. Ensure that bystanders are at a safe distance when operating the equipment. Do not let anyone to ...
23 (34) 6.2 Operating position Set the attachment to correct operating position. Correct position depends on the attachment that is fitted to the side arm.

27 (34) 6.5 Working on uneven ground Extra caution is needed when using the equipment on inclined terrains and slopes. Drive slowly especially on inclined, uneven, or slippery surfaces, and avoid sudden changes in speed or direction. Operate the controls of the loader with careful and smooth movements.
28 (34) 6.7 Uncoupling and storage The mechanical side arm can be uncoupled from the loader for short period storage with an attachment fitted. For long term storage the attachment should be disconnected from the side arm. Uncouple and store the attachment on level ground. The best way to store the attachment is a place where it is protected from direct sunlight, rain, and extreme temperatures.
Two or three pallets may be necessary to ensure the stability of the assembly during storage. Carefully lower the attachment together with side arm to the ground on the pallets. Uncouple the multiconnector (1) and then unlock the locking pins of the Avant quick coupling.
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 experience about hydraulic assemblies and how to perform the repairing safely.
31 (34) 7.2 Cleaning the attachment Clean the attachment regularly to prevent accumulation of dirt which is more difficult to remove. A pressure washer and mild detergent can be used for cleaning. Do not use strong solvents, and do not spray directly at the hydraulic components, or at the labels on the attachment.
