14 (32) Keep all fittings as clean as possible; use the protective caps on both the attachment and the loader. Dirt, ice, etc. may make using the fittings significantly more difficult. Never leave the hoses hanging on the ground; place the couplings onto the holder on the attachment.
15 (32) 5.2 Electric connection Electric functions of the attachment: As standard, the snow blower is equipped with electrically controlled chute rotation. Electrically controlled throwing height adjustment is available as an option. The electric discharge chute rotation can be controlled with the standard electric harness that is supplied with the snow blower.

16 (32) If your loader is equipped with the attachment control switch pack, and the loader is manufactured in 2016 or later: electric socket integrated multiconnector. electric harness attachment is connected when the multiconnector is coupled. Clean both multiconnectors before connecting the multiconnector.
17 (32) 6. Operating the attachment 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 (32) 6.1 Checks before use Read all instructions before use. Make sure you have the Operator's manual of the loader available. Check the general condition of the attachment and the loader, and check for possible hydraulic oil leaks.
19 (32) 6.2 Use Using the snow blower: Set the attachment to working position. The snow blower works in the most efficient way, when it is tilted slightly forward, or when it is kept lightly on the ground in upright position, as shown in figure below.
Contact service to check the operation of the system if necessary. Adjusting the hydraulic system of the attachment is allowed only for authorized Avant service. 6.3 Using the electric functions of the Snow Blower 1.
21 (32) 6.3.1 Discharge chute rotation The electric discharge chute can be used when the ignition key of the loader is turned to switch on the electric outlet of the loader. The chute will rotate 260°. Turning directly towards the loader is blocked. Make sure that the chute is directed to safe direction at all times.
22 (32) 6.4 Scraper plate and skids Adjust the scraper plate (1) and side skids (2) shown in the adjacent figures so, that the snow blower runs smoothly on the surface without the frame touching the ground. The side skids (2) can be adjusted by setting them to the desired height parallel on both sides.
23 (32) 6.5 Removing a blockage Clogging of the feed auger is in most cases caused by drive speed. If the auger can’t throw the snow fast enough, drive speed must be reduced. Clogging of the discharge chute is also affected by the type of snow in addition to hydraulic oil flow (loader engine rpm).
24 (32) 6.6 Transport position Keep the loader stable. Always transport the attachment as low and close to the ground as possible. Keep the telescopic boom retracted during transport drive. CAUTION 6.7 Storing the attachment Uncouple and store the snow blower on level surface so, that it will stand firmly on its two standing supports under the attachment.

28 (32) 7.6 Lubrication A small amount of lubricant should be added to the lubrication point at the bearing regularly. Correct lubrication interval depends heavily on operating conditions but lubricant must be added at least after every 10 hours of use. Clean the end of the nipple before greasing and add only a small amount of grease at a time.
