2. Designed purpose of use The AVANT Rotator is an attachment that is suitable for use with AVANT compact loaders that are shown in Table 1. The Rotator makes it possible to tilt an attachment sideways in both directions. With this attachment it is also possible to rotate an attachment full 360 degrees continuously (endlessly) in both directions.
7 (30) 3. Safety instructions for using the attachment Please bear in mind that safety is the result of several factors. The loader-attachment combination is highly powerful and improper or careless use or maintenance may cause serious personal injury or property damage.

8 (30) Sudden movements can cause the loader to tip over - Operate the controls of the loader in a slow and calm manner. Be careful when lifting load to high level or lifting load from high. Avoid sudden changes in speed or direction to maintain balance of the loader especially when handling heavy loads.
9 (30) Using a rotator increases risks of tipping over and roll over - Use the Rotator only when necessary to complete specific tasks. The rotator moves the attachment further away from the loader, which increase the risk of tipping over. Also, tilting an attachment WARNING sideways can cause the loader to roll over (turn over to its side).
10 (30) 3.2 Safe shutdown procedure Safe stopping of the attachment, before going near the attachment: Always stop the attachment following safe stopping procedure before leaving the driver's seat. Safe stopping procedure prevents all unintentional movements of the attachment. Note that the loader boom can move down even if the engine of the loader is turned off.
10-30 l/min Maximum input of hydraulic energy: 50 l/min, 20 MPa (200 bar) Compatible Avant loaders: See Table 1 on page 4.1 Safety labels and main components of the attachment Listed below are the labels and markings on the attachment. They must be visible and readable on the equipment.

13 (30) 4.2 Lifting Make sure that the attachment is properly secured against unintended movements during lifting operation. Use appropriate type of lifting accessories, lifting straps, chains or hooks, for example. Do not use lifting accessories if there are signs of damage, deformation, or otherwise unsafe conditions.
Do not stay in the area between the attachment and the loader. Mount the attachment only on level surface. WARNING Never move or lift an attachment that has not been locked. Avant quick coupling system: Step 1: Lift the locking pins of the quick coupling plate of the loader up, and turn them backwards into the slot, so that they are locked in the upper position.

If your loader is not listed in Table 1 on page , ask your Avant dealer before using this attachment.
The extra outlet is available as an option for most loader models. Contact your Avant dealer or nearest Avant service point for more information about the extra hydraulics outlet. See page and the operator's manual of your loader for more information about using the optional extra hydraulics outlet.
17 (30) 5.2.1 Connecting the multiconnector system Connecting the multiconnector system: 1. Align the pins of the attachment connector with corresponding holes of the loader connector. The multiconnector will not connect if the attachment connector is upside down. 2. Connect and lock the multiconnector by turning the lever towards the loader.
18 (30) 5.2.3 Disconnecting hydraulic couplings Disconnect the hydraulic hoses of the Rotator and the attachment from the loader, before unlocking the quick coupling plate of the loader or the Rotator. When uncoupling the attachment, always disconnect the hydraulic couplings before unlocking the quick coupling plate, to prevent hose damage and any oil spills.
19 (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.
20 (30) 6.1 Checks before use Drive carefully on uneven terrain and note the effect of heavy load at the front of the loader to the stability and handling of the loader. Practise the use of the attachment and the controls of the loader in a safe area. If you are unfamiliar ...
21 (30) 6.2 Operator qualification Anyone who intends to use the attachment must: Know the intended use of the attachment. Know how to use the loader safely in different operating conditions. Read and always follow the instructions concerning the use of the attachment in this operator's ...
22 (30) Operate the controls of the loader and its attachments in a careful and smooth manner, and avoid sharp turns and sudden changes in speed or direction whenever using the Rotator and its attachment. The vertical position is especially useful in narrow sites where the working width is limited.
23 (30) 6.5 Extra auxiliary hydraulics outlet (option for loaders) The Rotator 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...
24 (30) 6.6 Transport position Keep the loader stable. Always transport the attachment as low and close to the ground as possible, and keep the hydraulic boom completely retracted. Also keep the Rotator in straight (middle) position during transport drive, as shown in adjacent figure. Risk of tipping over - Keep the loader stable.
25 (30) 6.7.1 Storage When storing the Rotator for longer periods than temporary uncoupling from the loader, the attachment should be disconnected from the Rotator and stored separately. Avoid leaving the Rotator 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 training, knowledge, and experience about hydraulic assemblies and how to perform the repairing safely.
Welding repairs are only allowed to be carried out by professional welders. When welding, only methods and additives suited for steel used in attachment must be used.
