An attachment that has not been completely
locked to the loader may fall on the boom or
towards the operator, or fall under the loader
during driving, causing loss of control of the
loader. Never move or lift an attachment that
has not been locked. Before moving or lifting
the attachment, make sure that the locking
pins are in the lower position and come
through the fasteners on the attachment on
both sides.
Excessive tilting or lifting of an unlocked attachment increases the risk of tipping the
attachment over. Do not use the automatic locking of the locking pins when the
attachment is lifted more than one meter from the ground. If the locking pins do not
return to the normal position when tilting, do not tilt or raise the attachment any
more. Lower the attachment on the ground and secure the locking manually.

Connecting and disconnecting the hydraulic hoses
On the 200 series 2 and 400-700 series loaders the hydraulic hoses are connected using the multi connector
system. If you have an Avant 300-700 series loader with the conventional quick couplers and wish to change
to the multi connector system, contact your Avant dealer or service point for instructions or installation
services.
Never connect or disconnect quick couplings or other hydraulic components while the
control lever of the auxiliary hydraulics control lever is locked on or if the system is
pressurized. Connecting or disconnecting the hydraulic couplings while the system is
pressurized may lead to unintended movements of the attachment, or ejection of
high-pressure fluid, which can cause serious injuries or burns. Follow safe stopping
procedure before disconnecting hydraulics.
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.
Connecting the multi connector system:
1.
Align the pins of the attachment connector with corresponding
holes of the loader connector. The multi connector will not
connect if the attachment connector is upside down.
2.
Connect and lock the multi connector by turning the lever
towards the loader.
The lever should move easily all the way to its locking position. If the lever does not slide smoothly, check the
alignment and position of the connector and clean the connectors. Also shut down the loader and release the
residual hydraulic pressure.
