Coupling the attachments

Coupling of the attachments into the attachment coupling plate

happens as follows:

Stage 1 :

• Lift up the two locking pins on both sides of the attachment

coupling plate and turn them backward so that they remain in

the up position

• Make sure that the pins remain in the up position, otherwise

you cannot couple the attachment properly!

Stage 2 :

• Turn the attachment coupling plate with the tilt movement so

that the upper edge of the plate leans forward.

• Drive the loader into the attachment

Stage 3 :

• Lift the boom a little so that the attachment lifts off of the ground

• Pull the boom control lever to the left so that the lower edge

of the attachment coupling plate turns into the attachment

Stage 4 :

• Pull the boom control lever more to the left so that attachment

coupling plate turns more and the brackets on the boom push

the pins down in the holes of the attachment.

• Make sure that the pins lock properly down in the holes of the

attachment!

Hydraulic attachment coupling plate (option)

Always make sure that the locking pins lock properly down in the holes of

the attachments. Both pins must be locked. Avoid unintentional dropping of

the attachment. Operate the hydraulic coupling only when the attachment

is close to ground.

The hydraulic attachment coupling plate enables coupling and disconnecting of the

attachment from driver’s seat. There is a hydraulic cylinder on the attachment coupling

plate which moves the locking pins up and down. The electro-hydraulic system works

also when then engine is not running, as long as the ignition switch is in “ON” position

(current on). Control switch is located at the control panel on the right (see page 14).

Requirements for attachments

•  Check max. allowed hydraulic oil flow for the attachment. Adjust engine revs so that they are suitable for

the work and the attachment.

•  Read Operators Manual of the attachment before starting operation. Make sure that the attachment is

compatible with the loader. Contact your Avant dealer if necessary

•  Make sure that the attachment is connected properly on the attachment coupling plate, and that it is being

used in accordance with the instructions in the Operators Manual.  Follow instructions regarding personal

protective equipment and safety distances.

•  Put the attachment down on the ground and stop the engine before leaving driver’s seat. Familiarise yourself

with the operation and stopping of the attachment at a safe place. Follow service instructions.
