23 (40) 7.2 Carousel broom The carousel broom sweeps the material efficiently aside without the need to sweep the same location many times. The working width of the broom is one meter. The direction of rotation can be selected freely. Carousel broom - Specifications A37317 A433646...
24 (40) 7.2.1 Using the carousel broom Keep the broom tilted so that only its front or rear edge is on the surface. This way the broom will move material aside efficiently. Adjust the rotating speed of the broom according to operating conditions, keeping it within the limits shown on page 11.
25 (40) 7.2.2 Broom side shift The carousel broom may be turned 90 degrees to right in order to make it easy to brush near the walls when necessary. 7.2.3 Storage of the carousel broom To prevent the bristles from bending, it is important to ensure that the broom is stored correctly. If the broom is left in a way that all the weight of the broom is applied on the brush, the bristles may bend permanently and the performance of the broom will decrease.
26 (40) 7.3 XL weed brush The XL weed brush is an useful attachment for sweeping material from pavements, for example. There are three rotating bristle units in the brush, and each bristle unit is equipped with heavy duty wire rope bundles. The width of one bristle unit is 600 mm and the total working width of the attachment is about 1240 mm.
27 (40) 7.3.1 Using the XL weed brush Adjust the rotating speed of the broom according to operating conditions, keeping it within the limits shown on page 11. Slow to moderate loader engine RPM level is usually enough to rotate the broom adequately so that the broom sweeps the material neatly to its side.
28 (40) 7.4 Wire rope brush The wire rope brush is a tool that is intended for heavy duty sweeping. The brush is equipped with 32 robust wire ropes. The working width of the attachment is 990 mm. The direction of rotation can be selected freely. Wire rope brush - Specifications A431157 Product number...
29 (40) 7.4.1 Using the wire rope brush Hazard of thrown objects - Keep bystanders away. Note that the broom may eject sand, stones, pieces of wood or other material far from the broom. Stop using the broom, if there are others closer than 5 meters from the broom. WARNING Adjust the rotating speed of the broom according to operating conditions, keeping it within the limits shown on page 11.
30 (40) 7.5 Cable/hose reel The cable and hose reel is a simple accessory for coiling and storage of cables and hoses. The reel frame is one-piece structure with a separate end plate. Its collector part is fixed to the rotating reel body.
Page 31
31 (40) Direction of rotation: Either direction of rotation can be used. The selection of the direction of rotation depends on preferred way of emptying the reel: If you use the locking position of the auxiliary hydraulics control lever of the loader to reel in cable or hose, unreeling is possible by holding the lever in the opposite direction, or by removing the reel from the drive unit.
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...
34 (40) 8.2 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.
35 (40) 8.5.2 XL weed brush Checking the bristles The condition of the bristles should be checked after every few uses. When the bristles are in good shape, they sweep the surface better and therefore the weed brush needs less power to operate. If the bristles are damaged, the bristle unit A419753 should be replaced with a new one.
36 (40) 8.5.3 Wire rope brush Checking the wire ropes: The material of the wire rope is steel and in normal operating conditions the brush has a good wear resistance capability. However, the condition of the wire ropes should be checked after every few uses. Any damaged wire ropes A422669 should be replaced with new ones.
