17 (30) 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.
18 (30) 6.1 Checks before use Drive carefully on uneven terrain and note the effect of heavy load at the front and side of the loader to the stability and handling of the loader. Practice the use of the attachment and the controls of the loader in a safe area. If you are unfamiliar ...
19 (30) 6.2 Using the side shift adapter Before starting the attachment: Set and adjust the side shift adapter to correct operating position. Move the auxiliary hydraulics control lever of the loader towards its locking position shift attachment to right (as seen from the driver's seat of the loader).
20 (30) 6.3 Maximum load Maximum load for the side shift adapter is 1000 kg, and the side shift adapter must be removed when handling heavier pallets or large buckets. Always refer to the operator's manual of the loader for the safe load of the loader in different operating conditions.
21 (30) 6.4 Horizontal adjustment It is possible to set the side shift adapter so that the quick coupling plate shifts the attachments 500 mm to the left or to the right. After the position is set as illustrated in the figures below, it possible to shift the attachment only to the right, as seen from the driver's seat of the loader.
22 (30) 6.5 Auxiliary hydraulics outlet (optional extra for loaders) The side shift adapter can also be used with an attachment with hydraulic functions, in which case the loader must be equipped with an extra double acting hydraulic outlet at the front. First, replace the faster multiconnector of the attachment with conventional quick couplings.
23 (30) 6.7 Transport position Keep the loader stable. Always transport the attachment as low and close to the ground as possible. Also keep the side shift adapter in straight (middle) position during transport drive, as shown in adjacent figure.
24 (30) 6.8 Uncoupling and storage 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. Avoid leaving the attachment laying directly on the ground. Place it on blocks of wood or on a pallet, for example.
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.
26 (30) 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.
27 (30) 8. Warranty terms Avant Tecno Oy grants a warranty of one year (12 months) from the date of purchase for the attachment it manufactures. The warranty covers repair costs as follows: Work costs are covered, if the repair is not performed at the factory.
